Wading Thru the B.S. that is Pro Bass Fishing! 

I don’t have to wade through shit. I don’t watch it or concern myself with it at all. Hell I have a fishing boat but I’ve been spending more time waist deep with swimming trunks, 1 rod and a backpack and I’m having more fun that way.

I think it’s a reflection of today’s society. It doesn’t matter the topic a large portion of the population believes your opinion is flat out wrong if you don’t agree with them. We have to get back to the days where we could agree to disagree.

Tournament fishing and increased popularity in general are ruining fishing. The thing is, the industry as a whole has an interest in more tourneys more fisherman etc etc. At some point, too many people fishing is a bad thing. Too many people fishing competitively is even worse in terms of crowded waters and pressured fish.

Way to keep it real. Everyone needs to just go fishing, enjoy the outdoors and try and be the best you, you can be

Bass and mlf are still in business??

It's too bad people are so divided today and don't value each other's opinions or viewpoints. Social media has made us less personable. It's easy to be a smartmouth because people aren't face-to-face. I told my youngest son to imagine going to an art museum and looking at all the paintings and imagining that they were all the same. How boring would life be if everything & everybody were identical. I was a manager of an engineering dept. for many years and valued all the opinions. I would never allow someone on my team to say another's opinion was stupid. If that was allowed, you'd never get another opinion from some of those people. It's sort of a bully-type situation. On many social media sites, half of the comments are from AI bots or foreigners who try to spread false info and divide us. People have no idea what's in store for the future of social media & technology. It's kinda scary.

Toxic Lead use in fishing tackle needs to be discussed. Do people grow up wanting to sell, use and ultimately discard this stuff in our waterways? How did you get wrapped up in it and what are your plans for a better way?

Some people are miserable and try to start big arguments in every comment section and some people think their view is the only way everyone should see it so no matter what you will have negative comments if I were you Mark if you see something inappropriate delete it and keep on keeping on! You’re a really good guy Mark and just know nothing said in the comments reflects bad on you.

Don’t really care what happens with these tournaments, just don’t want nobody to get hurt, there is a better way to make a living. I think it’s funny when they do there crying.

The circuits are a disgrace and joke now

I want my 8 minutes back!!!

Well said brother

wow that was an absolute waste of time

Very nice video and you said it within the first five minutes - social media is the problem and yes I realize that I am on youtube but it is the only form of social media that I use. Here is the problem - if you have opposing opinions on something it is inevitably going to go one way or the other and you are left with someone still being pissed off. So what is the solution? I honestly don't know, I guess people are just gonna have to accept that everything is not always going to go "your way" and put on your big boy pants and accept it????
