Ya know, I am going to go out on a limb here. I watch Charlie Moore now and then and he really doesn't bother me all that much. First off he gets paid for doing what he does. Wouldn't we all like to be in his shoes. Sure, he can be a flake but I would rather fish with a flake, AKA someone who is enjoying themselves, rather than some of the people you see on TV who are so serious I think they need a pyscho-therapist, they are some damned tense. After all, it's only fishing. Secondly, I have actually learned a thing or two from him, no #^&#^&#^&#^&. That program where he was on Monomoy flats with sluggos convinced me that that bait was for real, now I never leave the dock woithout them.

On one episode he was actually fishing the lake where I have a summer home in Charlton MA. ( That's right, I live on Cape Cod but spend a lot of weekends on a bass lake in the central southern Massachusetts woods) He got a 7 lb. plus fish there on a sluggo. The last two years between myself, my daughters and my brother, we have had several fish over six pounds and numerous four and fives. Three pounders don't even get recognition. On the program he said it was one of his favorite ponds, it should be it's that good.

I don't understand the big deal. He has his own show(s), he gets paid to fish, he gets sponsored, a free boat and tackle,a free truck and goes all over God's creation to fish. Who wouldn't want to do that? He can't be that dumb if he has that racket going for himself now can he. Jealousy? Maybe. Envy? Absolutely.

I dunno. He ain't all that bad ( cept for maybe being a lefthander) and his forte' is freshwater bass fishing. Challenging him to a duel in the surf wouldn't cut it and let's face it, a night with Bassmaster might leave him emotionally scarred and I am not talking about the fishing. It's his show and you would have to compete on his ground. It's only fair that way.

I cannot get in on the Charlie Moore bashing, the way I see it he has got the world by the balls right now and God bless him that he had the guts to promote himself into his situation. Give it a rest guys it just ain't worth it and we look petty.

You may slaughter me now, fire at will.
