There are a couple of good points made in the posts in this thread. Although I am not part of this nonsense that has been taking place....and the offenders know who they are... I'd like to add my 2 cents.
I know #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& and fish with him on occasion. We have become friends and spent a few nights "hopping rocks".
The fact of the matter is that the guy is hugely successful at what he does. Anytime someone is good at what they do they will become a target for a small group of jealous, self centered individuals that hate to see success. It's the "faster gun" syndrome. The malcontents want to be the "faster gun". They can't seem to stand anyone being better at what they are not.
Before the internet this stuff was all word of mouth. It always happened around the end of Summer because they guys who are not hardcore are "s#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g wind". August can be a real tough month to find quality Bass in the surf. The guys that continue to catch large, who put their time in and crawl the rocks night-in and night-out, continue to catch. The "wanna be's" bad mouth these guys because they haven't a clue as to what they are doing. Bill's only mistake is he is too open about his successes.
My guess is that you will not see a lot of "The #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&" on this board for awhile.
