Super User Tin Posted May 4, 2009 Super User Posted May 4, 2009 You haven't learned the first rule of bass fishing... Once you think you have them figured out, you don't.
JuniorFisherJJ08 Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 I have two question for only the posters above. Why should i take advice from you? What have you done with your fishing career? After all the posts, I have those 2 questions to ask you guys. I have competed in 100's of tournaments in my lifetime so far with 100's more to follow. I have 43 first place finishes, approx 21 second places finishes, and approx 39 3rds, with countless 4ths and 5ths. there has only been 8 tournaments i have placed worse than 6th. I hold 2 different lake records, and 3 club records. Which i have broken my own more than once. I won the Bass masters kids casting local, regional tournament and got 3rd at nationals. Im competing in the College Flw in 2010.. along with a few other opens and club tourneys. So above is what i have done with 17yrs of knowledge what have some of you done with 30-40???¿¿¿
Super User 5bass Posted May 5, 2009 Super User Posted May 5, 2009 Nobody is knocking you. I think most are confused and to be honest, I'm just as confused as they are. It seems like you've created one thread that covers this whole website. Are the members supposed to post all future questions in this thread and this thread only, no matter what? Thats what it sounds like. If thats the case, we'll only have this one thread. Thats no fun. If you want to 'prove' to potential sponsors that you are trying to help other anglers, read through all the threads that are already going and if you have something to add to them, do it. Then point the potential sponsors to your profile where they can read every post you've ever made.
Super User burleytog Posted May 5, 2009 Super User Posted May 5, 2009 So above is what i have done with 17yrs of knowledge what have some of you done with 30-40???¿¿¿ Learn humility.
Super User Tin Posted May 5, 2009 Super User Posted May 5, 2009 Wow, really now? Sponsors are going to come running at you and waving money in your face. And in 5 years of tourney fishing I have almost 40 wins. Can't what to see what I have in 17... :

People are trying their best to "show you the way" and you want to get into a ticking match about credentials? Are you for real?
Super User Tin Posted May 5, 2009 Super User Posted May 5, 2009 It's useless to try. He obviously knows it all... But then again so do I.
Super User 5bass Posted May 5, 2009 Super User Posted May 5, 2009 It's useless to try. He obviously knows it all... I guess he does but how do we know that what he's saying is the truth? I would think with that many wins and only being 19, we would have probably heard his name going around the internet by now? No?
JuniorFisherJJ08 Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 FBL, they aren't FLW tour or BASS fed tourneys. I wont be fishing those until 2010 Those are tourneys across the state and through my 17 yrs of fishing i won my first tourney at age 4. Also, if you live in eastern Ohio and fish you probably would of heard my name somewhere i was in all the local papers etc.. watch for me on the College FLW in 2010 I would of been there this year but i couldn't get the club going at my local college. Kill this thread..No one can take a teenager serious, because naturally the elders know best 100% of the time.
Super User Tin Posted May 5, 2009 Super User Posted May 5, 2009 We know him. It's actually Ryan's arrogant alter-ego that comes out after being emasculated by needles and furry hoodies. I knew he had it in him somewhere. ;D
Super User Tin Posted May 5, 2009 Super User Posted May 5, 2009 i won my first tourney at age 4. I didn't realize opening day trout derbies counted. Kill this thread..No one can take a teenager serious, because naturally the elders know best 100% of the time. No, there are a few of us that are taken seriously. If you want respect you need to give it.
paul. Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 how ironic junior. you apparently started this thread to share your wisdom with others, yet more and more the only wisdom i see here is what others are trying to share with you. lots of great advice in this thread, the best of which is found in catt's sig. line.
JuniorFisherJJ08 Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 Also, i have giving you my credentials, and why you should take your advice from me. I live and i learn EVERYDAY just like you guys. I have devoted every second, of almost every hour to fishing and will continue to do so until im on top one day. As for Bragging there it was probably out of line, but i think you guys thought i was a 12yr old or something pulling some BS out of my pants. I know alot of information on LMB and would love to share it with everyone. If some of you older fellows are willing to listen to a younger fellow maybe we both can learn something from it. This thread has gotten me angry, everyone keeps saying the same thing. Say something different and STANDOUT. Its like bass fishing u cant win every tournament on 1 lure...
Super User Tin Posted May 5, 2009 Super User Posted May 5, 2009 This thread has gotten me angry, everyone keeps saying the same thing. Say something different and STANDOUT. Just when I thought you had taken Burley's advice...boom....another challange....

Exactly. My point. I don't mind people posting the answers to others questions here. But if i don't ask you a question or for advice i do not want advice from you.
Super User 5bass Posted May 5, 2009 Super User Posted May 5, 2009 Look man, we wish you all the best in your college fishing career and you'd have your own cheering section here if you played your cards right. Once you start to fish against higher competition, as in FLW or BASS, you may find that you need to come on here and get some advice once in a while. Just ask senko77, he's probably still younger than you and he's won an AOY Title in a tough BFL Division. Thats not real easy to do. He's a great fisherman but he gets a lot of his info on these forums....ask him, he'll tell you. We have all watched him grow up right on this website and I'd be willing to bet he WILL GO PRO one day. He has the drive, the humility, the knowledge and is getting better everyday.
bmadd Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 Easy buddy. What school are you going to be fishing with next year? I fish with UT Martin and would love to meet you one day. The members here, old and young alike, are willing to learn from someone, young or old, as long as that person is respectful and easy to talk to. Lots of people ask questions every hour on here, cruise around and pass the time you're not out there on the water helping these folks with what you know and what you've learned. This is the best place for those who know everything and those who don't.

Just when I thought you had taken Burley's advice...boom....another challenge.... Listen, Im not trying to be a jerk... Maybe its because i got stuck working and couldn't fish today, or maybe its nerves for Thursdays tourney i need to pre fish for, Maybe its work, or maybe its school.. Maybe its a mixture of it all.. Im sorry to all. Congratulations yo have defeated me.. I shall add that to my loss record.. BTW what place did i get 2nd? 3rd? 4th? Im just kidding don't get mad fellas.
