I'm a bully, I'm jealous, I'm pathetic, I'm a turd, c'mon fishy, tell us how you really feel.

And then take all these posts you've made here and post them on your website. Oughta be good advertising for your guide service.

I'd sure hate to be on a trip with you and lose a fish. You'd probably call me every name you could think of and then throw me overboard!

Uh, you will let me go fishing with you, won't you?

Jimmy,

#1: I'm sure you are passionate about fishing, but the dedication I question...especially in comparison to my own. There have been several instances in which you have stated you were going, only to no-show for various reasons. I take offense to the comparison, even if I am not the direct object of it. I have gone on fishing forays that have lasted well over 24 hrs, in terrible conditions, in waters others consider "dangerous", and sacrificed more money than I should have searching for my next bite. If I invite someone, or hear someone say they will be there in a public forum/Facebook group, then I am disappointed if said person no-shows...especially due to less than perfect conditions.

#2: posting bass fishing locations on priest with a highly detailed rundown of technique, lures, etc is in no way equal to posting a detailed report on a hot striper bite in a confined area for 2 reasons: bass are infinitely more plentiful in our waters due to their ability to replenish the population, and bass can be found in a variety of locations and caught on a equally varying number of presentations. Stripers feeding on top in the confined channel of the GSP can easily be overfished by a handful of unscrupulous anglers, and increased boat traffic will shut down the bite, effectively "ruining" the bite. Please don't make the mistake of assuming that keeping silent is equivalent to being a "jerk." I have locations I have shared with a select few that I trust will not spread the info like gossip. I'm not a jerk, but I enjoy what I have found and have seen the potential of certain areas completely die due to loose lips. This isn't unique to me, either. There are plenty of stories about "how it used to be" due to this same reason.

As for the Facebook group, I have never encountered the attitude you expressed from any of the members...and I have become friends with a number of them. Perhaps the issue is not "everyone else."

I need a good spot to catch some Rockfish this weekend anyone have any super secret spots??? I don't plan on fishing out of a kayak so I will be in the bass boat and I am all for motoring past people and screwing up their spots I could even push some of you plastic boats out of the way to get to this super secret spot. Don't PM me just post on a public message board please.

Walt, If you have read any of my post since you have been a member; I am sure you have heard me state many times that this is a family oriented Site.

Not only do I not approve of the profanity, name calling and really the general Jest of any verbal altercations ... Because all this does is interrupts the continuity of the FTI Family and membership and our objective.... NO I DON'T APPROVE !

Now FishingTN.com has been a community service for 16 years and what I have learned is, periodically the interruptions stick their nasty heads , either an issue like was just locked. or many other issues. My Staff and I have seen many over the years . For instance, Catch and Release or mentioning a sweet honey hole, etc. And as usual on both sides of the issue there are pros and cons ...

I am not going to take sides in any issue if the subject has merit and creates food for thought. But I will control the way it is being presented .. And if it gets out of hand I will stop it.

As far as a Set rule or Law about profanity and if used you are automatically barred. Well that is not going to happen ... Anyone can have a bad day at the office. Or maybe to many after dinner adult beverages, after a bad day at the office. There are to many laws, rules and government control in our daily lives now. I am not going to be a hypocrite and add more. Besides I would be foolish to add a law set in FTI concrete ... That I may even get barred..

Walt, I appreciate your thoughts ... I am going to go back and edit some of the posts to bring us back to "Family oriented status" .. Thanks again<'TK>< :)

It would set me apart from the run of the mill names......well, you know which ones I'm talking about.http://fishingtn.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

Happy fishing to all. See you at the Steam Plant, I'm sure.

Then get up on Saturday morning and go fish for the species of your choosing, in your desired location, using the presentations you deem fit for the occasion.

May the fish gods smile on you, let you catch the species of your choosing, to be released into the grease or water, whatever.

And last, and most important, remember. It's trying to catch fish, not life and death.

Looks like there are some folks who can't mind their own business as well. If you step in the middle of a bar room fight to break it up, you do so with the full understanding that you are subject to catch a punch also.

When these little flare-ups happen, everyone should mind their own business and the two involved need to take it to private message. If i owned a guide service, the last thing i would do is get caught in a pissing match with someone over the internet, then follow that up with a link to my site. To each their own.

i am thinking that tk has a direct line to the white house, with barrack and tk being so tight and all. Maybe tk will put in a call and arrange a beer summit to settle this matter.

As a warning to the participants of the current pee-pee measuring contest that keeps popping up over and over from one thread to another endlessly: if this doesn't stop soon, I might just sit down at my computer tonight with a glass of wine and do a little "creative editing" on your posts like that to shut it down. :)
