I have heard stories about more than one fish regarding the bass n blues contest down there. So before you throw stones at Mike I would suggest a mirror. It is a tournament for shore caught fish,right?....
I'm sure at some point we all had methods that sharpies like Toby would find silly but you have to start somewhere.

He got bagged trying to pull a fast one in big fish for plugs contest is what really got many, here and there ,going about Mike and that was just wrong. He does exaggerate about the size of fish he catches also.
Now what I like about Mike is his being a regular guy and though many call him a clown he is real even though transparent.Seems he works and fishes hard and has great enthusiasm for the sport. Another big positive to me is he offers to fish with just about anyone and often does so.He also is`nt afraid to not go by the ' acceptable book' on how to do things...he just does them and is vulnerable to much critisism about his methods at times.
I think he has a big heart and is a good guy despite his shortcomings. Its very important for him to be seen as a highliner/sharpie and many laugh at him for this when many want the same.... he is just more open about this even if he is wrong. Are there worse things to want to be? Should we make fun of him for our supposed superiority?
I like Mike
Have a great 2008 Mike
