Quick Shout Out

[Ketchn]

Unless provoked or disrespected it is never my intention to make trouble . I have heard it said I am a trouble maker from more than one professional fishing person and have been disrespected several times by a few as well .
Now mind you this , because I don't "fish" professionally ,it does not make me any less of a decent angler than those that do .
So if it comes to pass I don't know a top whatever tier name on the professional circuit list and or I don't follow the tournament crowd or pursue a paycheck in this "industry" it is by no means a dig on any of them ,nor does it cause me to want to disrespect them or the folks they "fish" with .
I understand the train of thought in the competitive angling world and if that is what they like to do , so be it .
I think it is sometimes a case of misunderstanding my intentions in my posts and thought process .
So here it is , to those of you that read my posts ,from the professional world of crappie "fishing" and think for some reason I hurt your feelings intentionally , I apologize for the misunderstanding and toss out my olive branch first ....
In the end the word is still KABOOM .....

Let it be known that misunderstandings and misinterpretations of conversations in any kind of non verbal or face to face contact happens a lot…you can’t read the persons body language, tone of voice, facial expressions etc…..it definitely happens. Hope all is well Ketchn.

I had a old friend tell me long ago that I am completely responsible for what I say. I am however not responsible for how you take it. Tone, body language, how things are said are very hard to gauge in written word.

I’m not exactly sure what this is all about Ketch, but I can say I don’t think you have been disrespectful to any professional that I can recall, and I follow your threads. Like any other public figure that puts out info for folks to read there are some that in my opinion are worth reading, and those that are not. If you’re a pro you had better get a thick skin - it’s ok to disagree if it’s not a personal attack. YMMV.

This is very true.

For over 58 years, I have always fished because I WANTED TO, not because I HAD TO. Never understood the need to tournament fish, but to each their own!

If people don't like what you write they don't have to read it.

Sometimes it feels good to stick out your tongue and blow a big rasberry. Or maybe stick your thumbs in your ears and wave your fingers and say nanna nanna boo boo.

Ah, i see your problem! A real pro would not lower himself to ridicule any fisherman.
One that would is not a pro, he is just trying to make himself feel better. It's the "look at me" attitude, look at me i'm a pro. and i know it all!. I had to go through and edit all the bad words i put in there to keep from being thrown out of here!!!!!
Took about an hour. So now i guess i qualify as a pro !!!!
