Joe Boss Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 I holler with almost every catch like Ike. Nothing makes me a kid all over again like fishing. I scared my friend last week while we were fishing off a dock catching dink Smallmouths. I caught one on a Senko and screamed "I got it!" He jumped out of his skin, I startled him so bad. Like Muddy said, us Italians (Especially NY/NJ ones) were brought up to express ourselves. ;D
Dixon Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 Ike saw a great marketing idea years back and he has taken advantage of it. Do I think he is like that all the time. No i dont. I have meet him many times and he is a great guy. Good at what he does. Ike was a different person before he won the classic. He wasnt yelling and screaming all the time. It is kind of annoying but it makes you watch. The only thing that drives me crazy is the guy knows when its a giant. He saying giant and brings up a 1 pounder. Cant help but laugh. He puts on a show.
Sfritr Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 For those of you who don't like Mike and think he gets too excited about catching a fish you are telling me that you DON'T get Buck fever every time one with horns walks your way????????? Same thing, different species. I love the guy, hes good for the sport... People connect with him
Tanker4lyfe Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 This has to be the stupidest post ive read yet. DAN, why do you even care wether its an act or not. Sounds chilish if you ask me. the man is fishing for a living something many of us will never have the oppurtinity to do. I suppose his way of fishing is not yours. So why not just find an act of your own and maybe one day you'll have the ability and rep that he does. GOOD LUCK
Tanker4lyfe Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 ALSO, in regards to fish being giants or not you have to consider they know everyday what it will take for them to be on top in the end it may be 5 pounds it may be 5 ounces. When big money is on the line a 1 pounder is huge.
SoFl-native Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 I like Mike, I think he is a good fisherman too. Most of the time I have seen him on a tournoment he does get excited but I think he is feeling like he is about to get paid, it must be different fishing for $500,000 than it is for $25,000 for him, so if you ask me if I will get excited to see a bigger check, i will scream and dance if that is necesary. Now thw one who really only catches hogs and monster is Shawn Bigsby (sp.?), he is also a good fisherman but just watch his show one day. Shawn Bigsby!!!!!!!!!! Awesome......that made my day...hahaha
