[quote Tarponjim]Name names on this clown. If there's no doubt about who it is, why not? Let us know his username so that everyone can evaluate the credibility of what he writes or says. [/quote]
Seriously? Are you the same guy that was crying a river about people taking Macs out of the Gorge, but yet makes a living teaching people how to catch/keep giant Macs? It sure is telling that you assume credibility via an internet post, or in this case, a picture. If we all had your rosey outlook on things, you and I wouldn't have lasted three posts on this site. Lame.
[quote Tarponjim]Otherwise, people will just keep on believing everything they read and see on the wonderful internet from unreliable sources.[/quote]
You mean, kind of like you just believing that this guy stole pictures, claimed them as his own, and was profiting from someone else's work -- all by reading something you saw on the wonderful internet? Give me a break, you can't make this stuff up...
As for the guy who posted that KSL article, I know him well and he is a hell of a great guy. Everything he says on that ad is true, he really does do it for the joy of doing it. In fact, after our first meeting he was gracious enough to give me a full day of tips, learning, and even gave me a box of hand-picked gear to get me started. (from his own box, no less) After pricing some of that stuff out, I'd bet he gave me over $100.00 worth of crank baits, lures, and plastics. People with that kind of generosity in their hearts are rare, and don't deserve to be called "clowns" or be ridiculed by selfish dinks; especially guys like Cliff.
I doubt very much that he used TD's picture on purpose, and if you read the ad, he never once mentions that those pictures are his or that those are fish that he caught. As someone else mentioned, he probably just posted pictures of local fish that he can teach about and/or go after.
My hats off to him for working his ass off to make ends meet, all while busting his butt to get an education to better his and his families life. Some of us, myself included, could learn a thing or two from this guy.
