deaknh Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 not saying he's guilty or innocent, but much of the story written is anecdotal, with zero evidence to back it up. I read all 9 pages and watched the video, it really just seems this author has a hair across his ass for Mike Long. Moleman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcclovinfishing Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 He was using two weights and a treble hook... those fish were hook on the side and side of the head. No coincidence at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogers954 Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 My boy sent this to me first thing this morning, after reading it i came straight here to see if anyone was talking about it, I didn’t want to be the person to post it because i didn’t want to be the one to spread ish because 99% of the time i hate seeming that ish line 24/7 but after reading all the behavior about him it’s hard to doubt that it’s true the video looked pretty clear to me. To say the least i was really surprised but then i though man i follow this dude on insta and there’s hardly a day that he doesn’t post a monster, got me thinking no one is that good. In all serious my immediate thought was how many times has this dude done this and then popped a swimbait in her mouth before taking a pic. This is something my buddy questions all the time when i send him pics of guys catching on new baits he questions of the makers are just planting the bites. I like to give the benefit of the doubt as much as possible. It’s actually really surprising that he didn’t start making his own brand of baits and doing that exact thing plop the bait in the mouth of a fresh snagged fish, think how much profit he could have made off of that. Not that he hasn’t already made a ton of money off this shady ass practice as is. This ish is just pathetic. If it’s true i hope they drop the "not allowed" hammer on this dude.

Not that he hasn’t already made a ton of money off this shady ass practice as is. He did actually release a wake bait back in 2014/2015, my buddy has two of em. I remember we had to tune them more than a fair amount the first day he took em out. So maybe he did do the old “snag and switch” theres a Surfcasting “legend” up here that’s known for doing that, catches em on whatever then pops his own plugs in their mouth for a catch pics, he’s been caught numerous times but keeps at it waynem, MA Frog Man, basskickinrednick and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reem_er Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 He started replying to the youtube comments on the video. Just a lot of your mom jokes and saying how bad ass he is that he can snag big bass all the time. Just not giving a rip. I don't get what he is trying to do, just making himself look worse.
