If that gets you suspended,(I agree) then NateW should have been banned for life! IMHO!Last edited by Joey on July 18th, 2012, 2:28 pm, edited 1 time in total.
It never ceases to amaze me , how rude and disrespectful some people can be . — I have to add that in his defense though , he was simply taking the ” Anchored boat ” rule to its absolute limit , albeit a great move on his part to make friends and influence people . — He would have been within the scope of the rules had he just kept his mouth shut and fished . — The question begs to be asked , why would somebody that has gone through all the trouble it takes to get sponsors these days , just completely dissapoint them in such a manner by his actions as to ruin what he has worked so hard to accomplish ?? — He deserves whatever he gets IMHO . — Hoss Last edited by BIGCATTER on July 17th, 2012, 8:22 pm, edited 1 time in total.
One thing ive learned is that your future in business is determined very much by how you are percieved as a person.This young man has made a mistake, as we all do as youngsters. I hope for his future he takes advantage of this and learns a lesson in humility, and turns his focus on treating people as he would like to be treated.
I cant speak for Kyle Fox because I havent met him. I got the chance to meet and ride with Chris Zaldain twice during the Toledo Bend tournament. He seemed like a level headed fella. I know hes young and also a rookie on the Elites so he has to cut his teeth as well. All I can say is that Chris held his tongue when a local was encroaching on him but I can imagine it being different with a fellow competitor and especially when one saw you catch a fish and pulls a stunt like that. I told Chris about Davy Hite sitting on one of Matt Herrons holes after seeing Matt fish there and doing well in the tournament. Chris said that some of those guys are some hole stealing son of a guns and you gotta watch them.Jim EbarbMany, LA (Toledo Bend Lake)2004 Cougar/ 225 OptimaxHumminbird Helix 12 Chirp SI on BalzOut Mount at bowLowrance HDS 7 at bowHumminbird Helix 12 Mega SI on Ram Mount at ConsoleLowrance HDS 8 in dash at console
Should have called him a saggin fisherman , thats what we here in the south call the brothers with their britches low off the waist showing their underwear . You just dont come out and say the N Word in public anymore . I wonder what the outcome would have been if it was Ish that was involved ,their would probably have been a Southside Compton beatdown that night or the NAACP getting involved with BASS . Either way Kyle Fox should have moved on and not have stopped .
I have met, talked to and fished against Kyle and he seemed like a nice guy. My link from last year in the Weekend Series drew out with him and said he was cool. Regardless of your beliefs or how you live your life, he is now a professional and competing at the top of the game. Seems one word was grossly forgotten in the whole ordeal, PROFESSIONALISM!! He represents numerous companies and should have engaged his brain before he engaged his mouth. Hes young, made a mistake and has time to get past this. Will require much, much hard work on his part. Best of luck to him.Dave Sheffield
