HelpMePickABobber Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 I'm not trying to start any craziness, I've seen plenty of that on FB. Can anyone explain (without wild speculation) what actually happened? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zsneezes Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 In short - A lot of orders for merch and limited baits were unfulfilled & people started demanding answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HelpMePickABobber Posted November 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 In short - A lot of orders for merch and limited baits were unfulfilled & people started demanding answers. I guess what I'm not getting is how were people ordering and paying for stuff... not receiving it, and it continued to go on? How did none of the other admins know what was happening? How did this dude get away with it for that long? Something just doesn't seem right here. zsneezes and biggfeast 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re asking all the right questions, sadly, Iï¸ don’t think we’re gonna get any answers. Something definitely doesn’t seem right, and Iï¸ feel like the people with money involved are owed a better explanation. On the other hand, shout out to Swimbait Underground for always keeping it clean, classy, and official.

Zackmega Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 There is another swimbait page ,Swimbait Nation, on Facebook that is keeping up with the amount of money/baits/ gear owed by him, so far it is just over 20,000 dollars.

thastickybandit Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 I bought some strong shads from him on his most recent post in the black market. 23 Oct 17 to be exact. He told me they go out and he'd shoot me tracking. Nothing happened so I shot him a text and said he would do it later in the day as he was busy. But assures me they should be there by Friday and no later then Saturday. I keep pestering him for tracking and says he'll set any alarm to remind than he is at church yada yada yada. Still nothing Monday. I plead with him for tracking to make sure there was no delay or that it wasn't swiped from my doorstep. Still nothing Tuesday the 31 Oct 17 .Finally Wednesday he shoots me texting saying there was a weird delay and it will be there the next day. That day shows up and bait arrive. Still never received a tracking number through all this. I gave him the benefit of the doubt but after reading this thready today I looked at envelope/mailer that my baits arrived in and seen there was a tracking number on it. I typed it USPS and he created a label the 30 Oct 17 and shipped out the next day. So he was lying this whole about how/when they had gone out the next day and that they went out first class.(label says priority 2 day mail) Hopefully everyone gets their stuff. Not much you can do if you paid for family & friends(which I did) but cross your fingers and hope your stuff gets to you. basskickinrednick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swole_t Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 I had problems with John as well in ordering a Hinkle Trout through him. After almost a year passed the delivery date and constant messaging and getting the run around Over and over again and lots of frustration. I finally got the bait. I guess I should feel lucky cuz a lot of guys were waiting a lot longer and still haven’t gotten their baits. But I’m glad to see he’s not a part of that group anymore. He never seemed like a creditable Swimbait fisherman to me anyways. I dunno what he was doing running a Swimbait group, besides taking peoples money.
