Because Mike Long ranks as perhaps America's No. 1 big-bass angler,
every move he makes creates ripples ...

I don't get it. I mean these famous pros are allowed to ignore
the rules and if they do happen to catch a record fish while
they're ignoring the rules they'll keep it a secret. So where
is the publicity value in that ?

It seems to me that these famous pros are generating more ill
will and bad feelings than good publicity.

My 2¢ and worth every penny.

Ken, it is just a hand full of people that are complaining, and acting
in that manner. Mike and John host free fishing seminars, promote kids
fishing tournaments, and maintain a forum "Ask the pros", where they
share their knowledge with anyone who asks. They are respected members
of the community, and fishing crowd.

John has hosted "Field and Stream" when they did an underwater bass
research project on Lake Jennings...I think they had to do it on a
closed day because of divers in the water. I'm not sure what the overall
benefits are....I just thought I would share it, and get your
opinions...and I respect yours.
