He's probably really good at what he does... fishing the northeast lakes for freshwater bass. He's pretty obnoxious, but that's his schtick. But its pretty funny to see him completely flip his lid and be down on his knees for a 3lb bass. I've heard him say "This fish is huge, I don't even think I can land this fish" and its like a 2lb smallie.
I've seen a couple of his striper charters, he's doesn't know anything about saltwater fishing and I don't think he really claims too.
I was a pretty good freshwater fisherman and it doesn't necessarily translate over to the salt. But I was still a good fisherman. Now I'm probably a crappy freshwater fisherman and an almost decent saltwater fisherman. Its a big transition. I still think a 36" fish is big even though I've caught much bigger fish... but compared to the fish I caught for the first 27 years of my life, a fish that's half the size of a grown man seems pretty large.
CM is pretty much a moron, but it gives you hope... if he can make a living off fishing, anyone can.
