The FLW DQ fiasco......

Ronnie, it was me that started the "Angler X" thing.

The first time I saw the Angler X thing was on Bass Fising Home Page - some of
the "folks" there were posting things that they were afraid they would get sued
for if they used a name. Like using Angler X would help.

I have no idea what happened with Tony, and no one else does, either - except
FLW and him. An editor at Georgia Outdoor News spend a couple of days on the
phone and could not get anything sensible enough to print. Tony would not
comment and neither would anyone at FLW. Tony's co-anglers called had nothing
but good things to say about fishing with him, contrary to some rumors. And NO
ONE had first hand info about anything.

Maybe someday we will find out.

Hey Ronnie, actually I meant no disrespect for calling Tony "Angler X".
I was like many who felt maybe name dropping was the wrong thing. But,
I hope all the "rumors" are false for TC's sake. Gotta pull a Georgia
boy.

Thats ok, I just got fed up with the garbage at the other forum where I no
longer go.

Interesting to note on the FLW site Tony was given points for both the FL and
LA tournaments - he was disqualified for the second day in each but his first
day catches gave him points in both. So I guess he was not disqualified from
the tournament, just the second day's catch was disqualified.
