I have a couple questions for you if :-\' dont mind.
Q#1) the owner of this site has a limited amount of megabite he can use. If he goes over them he might have to upgrade to a larger server. So in other words that yall mite be ablle tooo understooannd, stop using so many faces. ??? ??? ??? ??? :-[ ::) :o :) :D
I'll privately let someone know if I have a problem like this with something. I'll publicly post if I need help from a lot of members - djk.
Q#2) How can you actually think anyone on this site will ever take you seriously if you constantly talk like a bumbling bufoon?(c-mon dude I can see if you are joking once in a while but over 100 posts of yall talkeen lik dees)? Going a little far? I think so.
Different strokes for differentl folks. I think we've posted before on here that we have to be tolerant and accept that some people are different and want different things. I have had a NUMBER of people at the shows approach me and say they enjoy and/or think BASS FISHERMAN is funny. Not everyone will, but I've had more people say they like having him/her around then who don't - djk.
Q#3) Could someone be so bad at grammar that they actually talk and spell this way and think it is legitimate? ( I dont think so) If you can read enough to type then you would find out really quick that even second graders can spell and talk better than you.
Pretty obvious he/she spends a good deal of time doing this on purpose. Doesn't seem like a wise use of time to chide him/her on grammar that is not bad due to lack of smarts, but due to goofiness or eccentricity or maybe too much time without sunscreen - I don't know, but I do know from rumor this person can speak 'normal?' like the rest of us - djk.
Q#4) DELETED - To me, I have to say this was just rude and mean - much less desired to me on my forum than someone who is a little silly like BASS FISHERMAN - djk.
Q#5) Thanks for the money you will give me this bass season if you fish tournaments. I guess thattenne there whasn't a qrrstienne attall ehh?
Poor grammar and spelling bad do not necessarily have any bearing on tournament fishing ability - but since BASS FISHERMAN is doing it on purpose - you may end up unpleasantly surprised after making such a statement - djk.
I will go ahead and apoligise ahead of time if i am mistaken with any of the above postings. But I don't really think I am out of line, and qustion five ;) thanks for filling my wallet buddy boy.
Man Bass Fisherman Did you pee in this dudes cherrios this mornin. Keep it up Bass Fisherman. These guys are way to Serious. Its all in Fun.
sees yal later?
:) :) :) :) :) :) :) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) :D :D :D :D :D :D :D ;D ;D ;D :( :o
:o :o :o :o :o :o 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) ??? ??? ??? ??? ::) ::) ::) ::) :P :P :P :P :P :-X :-X :-\' :-\' :-* :-* :-* :'( :'( :-* :-\' :-X :-[ :P ::) ??? :( >:( ;D :D ;) :) ;) :D ;D >:( :o 8) ??? ::) ::) ::) :P :-[ :-[ :-X :-X :-\' :-* :-* :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :P ??? 8) :o :o
Hey if you dont like how he talks on the computer then dont read it it is just for fun.By the way he is a very good fisherman.
The guys are all entitled to their opinion on the way bassfisherman talks. I believe it gets annoying, but that is me. I have mentioned it to Dan and he explained his position very well, to which I agree. As long as he is not offending anyone, I simply will ignore his posts. Annoying, yes. Enough to pee me off, no. I would actually like to meet the guy and I'm sure he doesn't talk like that in person. Not unless he knows you don't like it. ;D
I see nothing wrong with the way Bass Fisherman talks..Kinda reminds me of the time I spent in the south.
Smily faces take up very little space.....Unlike pictures..etc...If we have enough room on this site to talk about the NCAA and brittney spears bad haircut then I am sure there is space for Bass Fisherman.
The Bottom Line on this for me is if you were serious bucket mouth, and not just trying to stir up something, you would have PM'd him and not called him out on a public forum like this.
This site if for entertainment and bringing together a group of people that share a common interest...Let's not take ourselves to serious..Dan has done a great job with this site and I have gotten a ton of information off of here in the last few months.
I have to admit.......he had me going for awhile and it was annoying. ??? But it appears that several people know who this "Bassfisherman" is....and it seems to me that he is the "joker" type and will milk this until the rest of us figure out who he is! LMAO!! :D :D :D :D
I gots to git to sum of yer ternaments Bass Fisherman so ins I cans mets u!! ;) LOL!!
You got me.......I have no idea who you are....but I got a practical joking buddy JUST LIKE YOU! LMAO!!
BS ;)
Ya now that I think about it that must be the case Bass Fisherman must be one of their buddies just messing around. maybe bass fisherman is really Kim Stricker or KVD lol?
gots to be out fishin' soon. everyone's been couped up to long. even LSC network has trash talk goin' on. getting to be annoying all around.
i read his post sometimes, or just skip over them. but man, sure hope he's playin'......peace be w/you there bassfisherman.
I imagine this post will disappear once Dan gets back from the GR Show.
I always look for his posts first, they're quite humorous and I appreciate the effort put into them. I wish he would post more often. I learned a long time ago that there's a lot of folks that just can't deal with anything they don't consider normal. :-[
BASS FISHERMAN'S posts are part of what makes this site interesting. Should we also delete posts about methods or locations that don't interest all of the members? ???
I guess the thing that I like the most about his posts is how much they bother some of you. I just can't figure out why something so trivial could bother you so much. :o
Good for him.
;D
;D ;D ;D
:-* :-* :-* RANGERS BOAT RULE :-* :-* :-*
I imagine it will too. So in the mean time I'll weigh in.
I dont know the guy, got nothing against him personally because I dont know him.
I figured he's joking and enjoying himself, which is fine.
That being said, I choose to not read any of his posts. It's annoying and sometimes frustrating to read purposefully mispelled words in chat and forums. So I choose not to.
You can choose not to as well.
As long as Dan's ok with it and he isnt breaking any rules, there isnt anything you can do but ignore it. Again, I choose to do that.
I do think that a couple of posts like that would be humorous but doing it consistently on the forums is equally as rude as one of us calling him out about it on the forums. In which case, who do you reprimand? The person calling him out or him?
Making the leap from poor typer or bad joker to a poor fisherman who's going to donate money to you and personally attacking him is completely wrong and equally as misguided.
In short, I think your post is out of line on several levels.
I'm sure this will get deleted before Dan even gets to my post, but I got to temporarily speak my mind! ;D

^^^And you should BF....I have no clue who you are or what your like in person but IMO I think that a person should be able to live their life the way that THEY want and not others. That post was completely uncalled for and out of line...Keep 'em comin' BASS FISHERMAN!

one thing i see is no one will take anything on this site seriously. i would for one would not recommend it to anyone and will be signing off for now. sorry to say it.
see ya all on the lakes
It's just bass fishing, nothing more.
your right.
i have removed my post.
c ya
I hope you enjoy your year on the water, I know I intend to. Good luck.
Looks like some of us could use some open water. Its all in good fun and we shouldnt read anymore into it than that. If we take things to serious we will all go crazy. ;D
GO BASS FISHERMAN GO
C'mon - I'm disappointed. I will NOT kick off someone or tell them to change just because they choose to be different as long as they are following the rules. I've been busy at the show and heard about this from a couple members. I would have gotten to it quicker, but I normally expect (and luckily get) much better behavior and civility here - you all normally make it easy on me for the most part so the little bit of time I had available at night, I used to get some business done to keep this site going, and to clean up a much uglier mess on lsc.net.
I'd have to kick off more people than you'd imagine if I kicked off everyone someone thinks I should - some of you might be in for a shocking surprise.
BASS FISHERMAN is harmless to anyone who doesn't want to read the posts and I have now had a good number of people who have made it a point to tell me they like the posts - more than those who don't. And this started long before this thread so it was not just a defensive thing, but a true demonstration of how different people enjoy different things - thank God.
I'm disappointed if someone truly thinks this site will go down the toilet just because of some posts by an eccentric or silly-sally, and will be more than a little surprised if that is all it takes to get anyone to quit, or if that is all it takes to 'undo' all the truly helpful and friendly posts on here?!? If I even remotely thought things could come crashing down so easy, I'd just shut down and delete the whole web site right now.
If you don't like someone's posts, don't read them. I will never understand why people on Internet forums read posts they already know they won't like and then complain about them when they can choose to just not read them? I would think many of us already do not read every post in every board - I make different boards expressly because different people have different needs and expectations.
In the very wise words of my sainted Mother, "don't sweat the small stuff!" It is just not worth it to get so upset about someone who chooses to be goofy on purpose to be rude and/or intolerant.
Frankly, having posts on this forum that single members out because they choose to be different will cost me (us) more potential new members by far than having a few eccentrics or crazy uncles around - it's the kind of thing that scares off a lot of people because we are ALL different to some degree and individuals in our own minds. It truly bothers me to know that many people do not participate because they are afraid of how other's will percieve or treat them. That should not be the case.
Different in a basically harmless way is not the same as negative, argumentative and just posting to stir up trouble. I do not want those kinds of posts on here repeatedly from anyone. This forum is for the fun exchange of ideas and information in a friendly and NONTHREATENING manner and for my ulterior motives to get as many anglers as possible involved for so many reasons that are exponentially more important than a few silly posts by anyone.
We anglers have to be able to see – to be able to learn that if we ever want to be in the driver's seat on critical issue verses just being unseeing, unknowing passengers in the back of the bus of life. Personally, I really do want to leave this world a better place than I 'found' it. I've been told I'm naive or that I'm wasting my time pushing at windmills so many times I can't begin to guess how many, but I won't stop trying anyway. I just will never understand things like rudeness, prejudice, intolerance, selfishness and repeated negativity. People, we all can make the choice. What's it going to be?
Thanks to those of you who get it – and thanks to any of you who choose to try to make the world a better place too.
Dan's mother has to be sainted...she had Dan... ;D
A lot of us think it is funny.....funnier yet if ya can figure who he/she is....I think it's a he...oh crap...I just called Bass Fisherman an IT....lol :o
Way to keep some of us laughing......lol
Live and let live people. Open water will be here soon. In the meantime, how about a big group hug???
McCarter himself :-\'

I hope there will be some women in this group hug?...lol I have my phobias...lol
You make an excellent point.
This group hug should be supervised by professionals to insure no funny business. Let me be the first to suggest this event be held at Hooters, also known as Confrence Room H. There will be plenty of women around to keep all interested parties in line.
McCarter himself :-\'
I second Conference Room H, and move to have it made a "Man Law" ;D ;D
I am sorry, but ever since Bassmaster made Harry n' Charlie into a little article barely bigger than a Ranger ad ;D I just have to get my southern fried bassin fix somewhere. BASS FISHERMAN is very clever and witty and I will find his posts on purpose just to see what he has to say. A little humor that puts a smile on my day is worth it's weight in gold. Keep up the good work BASS FISHERMAN and thanks for the site Dan. God Bless and Good Fishin' everyone.
PS down here in NE Indiana our lakes are beginning to open and I have heard rumors that that rufus guy is already catching a few bass due to the fact we have an open season ;D.
This BASSFISHERMAN must be a pretty good guy. One, he's a bassfisherman. Two, he's from Belding. We all know the greats that come from Belding. I still have no clue who he is, but he knows me. At first he was hard to read, but the more people who complain about it, makes it funnier and funnier. And for you BASSFISHERMAN, you are correct, STRATOS BOATS RULE.
Why don't Gambler Boats rule?
They have ruled some where in these threads. ;D
What about Astro?
C'mon all everyone really knows.... "TRITONS RULE"!!!!
OK OK ;) ;) ;)
:-* :-* :-* ASTRO AN TRITONS BOAT RULE :-* :-* :-*
:-* :-* :-* GAMBLERS BOAT RULE :-* :-* :-*
Thanks!
What about Champions? ???
Is this our version of the blessing of the fleet? I think bass fisherman needs to sit down on easter and bless all the brands ;D ;D ;D!

now i tell yous all that is funnie ;D ;D ;D
:-* :-* :-* CHAMPIONS BOATS RULE :-* :-* :-*
That is a great idea!!
i's think you've become a legend.......
Hey bassfisherman you forgot the ole CAJUN. I used to have one of these boats and it was great.
What about the old Terry boats my dad had one in 1974 thats when all they made were light blur and brown boats.
I have a 74 terry aluminum I use for river fishing
I'm not fooled at all Bass Fisherman. The way you spell takes talent. You are able to do that and make sense of any sentence. I don't think I could do it even if I tried. Bumble idiot, I doubt it. I'm calling yout out I say behind the curton is a Intelligent probably successful bass fisherman.
Scott
I do not know who he/she is (besides rumor and 'legend'), but I agree with your assessment... other than to add maybe the hint of an old head injury in the past ;D :D ;D
I hope no one is too mad over this. My intent, as always, is to ask for a 'live and let live' attitude on here. Read what interests you, and skip what doesn't. I'll probably eventually add more sections and attract an even more diverse range of anglers. Who knows what the next eccentric will stir up?!?
My biggest fear is that we smother out anyone willing to brave posting on a public forum. I know way too many anglers who are afraid to post because they do not know how they may be treated, or because they feel they will sound, spell, 'talk' different than others and possibly be jumped on about it. I want to hear all of those voices, not just the ones that sound exactly like me. Lord, a boring forum this would be if everyone went on just like I do...
Variety is the spice of life, as my Sainted Mother likes to say. Too narrow and too limited a purpose leads to a death spiral for too many endeavors. We'll always be home first and foremost to bass anglers, but with more visitors all the time including from more and more states, regions and foreign countries, things should only get more interesting.
BASS FISHERMAN, thanks for entertaining the anglers who want to be entertained by your efforts. Same goes to all the rest of you who attract readers' and visitors' attentions!!!
Dan,
Bring back the swimsuits!!! :-*
Those were entertaining!

Bass fisherman your posts are priceless. Keep up the good work.
Sunken boats rule the bottom
Bass fisherman must be a good angler if he won the 101.3 tournament before. Ive gone though the list and Im narrowing it down. Once I figure out the anglers that won that tournament over the years then eliminate those who dont own a ranger and then eliminate those that dont throw a spinnerbait and then eliminate those who speak normal, I will have it narrowed down. Wont be long now before I know the man behind the myth. Right now Im linking up with NASA sattilites and trianglating the where abouts of this so called bass fisherman. HE HE HE LOL
Yes Dan please bring back the swimsuits. LOL
Sorry... this is a 'thong' free zone... Don't want any parents worried their young 'uns is getting more than a fishin' edumacation... (besides, have you even remotely thought about some of the members here actually fishing in a thong??? Yikes!!!)
Hey Dan, just wondering, I wasn't able to get to the GR show, but I Heard that you were signing autographs with some electrifying results... Just wondering if you would be so kind as to send me your autograph.

I do not know if I will ever be able to sign an autograph again due to my unfortunate injury. Hopefully, I'll regain full use after my physical therapy.
No... don't feel bad LGMOUTH. I'm sure you did not know I was sensitively susceptible to electroshock trauma. I'm sure I'll regain use of my whole hand... someday.... I hope...?
Thought about you yesterday BASS FISHERMAN. I fished China Gardens - 50 degrees surface temp with tons of nesting geese in the area. In your honor I threw a 3/8 oz, white with hammered smoke Colorado blades. (not anything you'll find at Wal Mart :-*). I cannot divulge the outcome of this excursion off the beaten path due to the upcoming First Tournament next Saturday! ;) I will have a complete report later.

Bass Fisherman,
I can help you anytime with your GPS situation .... aren't you worried about me finding out who you are though ..... ;)
The Angler's Genie is the perfect tool to go along with your GPS. You can buy them from Dan here on his site or from mine. Price is $39.99 plus S/H.
PM me when you are ready for the boat installation.
-Genie
Sorry to return to a previous topic... I thought about the swimsuit thing and I'm willing to compromise... I will change my ad-block settings to allow the keyword 'tongs'...???
well dan that will only help the yoopers and Bass Fisherman, all the rest of us still pronounce it "thongs" with the h
now i heer to tell yous i likes lookin at tongs on thems good lookin womens ;) ;) ;)
i see nothin rong withs it at all ;D ;D ;D
ifin Dan is wantin to bring women in thems tongs thats fine withs me aswell ;) ;) ;)
:-* :-* :-* MONARK BOAT RULE :-* :-* :-*
Women in tongs, that sounds interesting ;D
I might also allow women from Tonga, but they would have to be tastefully done in some type of fishing theme... of course. I don't want to shock the kiddies here... or get angry calls from their mothers.
I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to sign on here, (I thought maybe I got banned) I guess not. I just would like to express my aploligies... to all. Sometimes I surf the net after a 12 pack, and this is the aftermath of my natural ice. I am glad that this is a site w/ very few people getting in other peoples faces about dumb stuff. (I guess its too bad I am the one getting in peoples faces). I really had no idea I was going to create a big stir. I was just typing w/out proofreading and dan did me the biggest favor by deleting most of my post. I am sure I will see all of you this summer, and I doubt I will know who anyone is. I do however still plan on taking bass fishermans money. I also don't plan on reading bass fishermans posts. I will on the other hand keep my trap shut. and not post while under the influence ;) Again, my bad....
The bucketmouth
i has no hard feelins against yous fur anna things ya say to me :D :D :D
one muss lurn to keep his panites on tite an not getts all up set ovur the small stuff ;) ;) ;)
maybe its times to switch ovur to budwisur beer :D :D :D
:-* :-* :-* RANGERS BOAT RULE :-* :-* :-*
Lots of talk about banning at times, but the only persons banned so far have been pure spammers that disappeared practically before they got started. Takes a lot more than one disagreement or difference of opinion to get banned.
Glad you're back with us and thanks for the very nice post. BASS FISHERMAN might end up having to buy you a beer. His/her stock has only gone up.
That gives me an idea for an invention, a usb powered breathalizer.
