Quick Shout Out

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!

hey Ketchun

here is what i make of it.... sleep well.... let it go thru one ear or eye and you will be happy..

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!:twocents. 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 !!!!:Rofl

Keep on truckin buddy and don’t change who you are...:biggrin

Guess I’m missing something here.

I read most of what you post and I don’t pay attention to any of it!![emoji23][emoji106][emoji476]
Guess I have never been offended because I’m not a pro. Lol [emoji38]

The REAL PROS wouldn’t get offended!!!
Do what you do and the moderators will sort it out.

It should all blow over. I have picked and teased back and forth with Ketchn. Quite frankly a day goes by without Ketchn throwing a wild and shocking post that makes you have to read it to gst his angle. A day is not complete without one of those is unusual. After 3 days and nothing I sent a PM to check on him. He even will get you to try some of his recipes through peer presure:Rofl. Them was fine vitals

I enjoy your posts. This site would not be the same without them. You can't please everybody. We like you just as you are.

Only thing I don’t like about his post is………
“He catches more fish than me” [emoji476][emoji106][emoji23]?[emoji12][emoji36]
Come to think of it, maybe that’s what offends the Pro’s?????

Just my opinion. Youve never been offensive in anything I’ve ever read that you’ve posted. Rock on, brother.

Pro’s are competitive and therefore run a little different than a lot of us. Some people like to make themselves feel superior by talking badly to or about others. These are smaller people. Frequently, in my experience, they are somewhat thin skinned and don’t take comment very well. So I leave them to each other and go my own way, enjoying those I find as like minded with me. I don’t lose any sleep over it and neither should you.

What's the old saying, let it roll off like water on a ducks back

i look forward to his culinary creations. Oh the posts too. :biggrin

I "do" take offense due to the fact that he catches more fish on the Barbie Pole Combo than I do on my Bart Simpson Combo but there ain't no tears in my beer. Rock on!

Running wide open in the fog could cause you to run aground. I didn't see the fella do it but I sure heard the motor blow out. He must have sent it really good. I heard that motor giving it fits for about 30 minutes

was kidding , never run hard in the dark ,fog or driving rain unless you REALLY want it to possibly end in a tragic fashion .....:yikes

But yes to the fog in your head correct? :crazy:

Dang Ketchn what did you do? Next you need to apologize to your fifth grade spelling teacher! :Rofl

I read most of your posts and have no idea what’s going on . Of course , my wife says I don’t listen to what she’s saying sometimes, so I may have missed it . Think that comes with getting old . No disrespect intended.
I did notice you get to fish more than I do and catch something every time you go .
Keep it up . Kaboom.!

Edit: I meant to add , I think I’d enjoy a fishing trip with you more than one with all those “pros” out there .

would likely end well is my thoughts , of course there are days when it is tough to ketch them ....
yesterday afternoon was not fun , 30 minutes and 5 crappie and the wind was what seemed to be close to be hurricane force ....:Rofl
i even went to 2 jigs in tandem to try to stay in" touch " with them and after about 25 I think thats a bite , whoops nope just my shirt hitting the rod , home I went .....:Rofl

Maybe just maybe you should stop letting their secrets out and catching so many fish and maybe you won't be getting negative vibes from anyone......:Rofl:dono

All it takes to be considered a professional at anything is to be paid to do it. If need be Ketchn we will take up a collection and send ya a dollar to fish for us Professionally :fish

Seems you made him into a Pro-fessional guide.

Ketchn: I will add ten cents on a trip also. I just wished I got to fish half as much as you do. Keep on posting your pictures and stories I enjoy reading them.

:fish:fish:fish:fishUSA FLAG

I don't know why any pro would worry much about a guy on a forum catching fish. I've never read anything you wrote that would be considered a challenge to the pros or talking bad about their profession. Keep on being you and ketchin' fish and hopefully all will be well.
I don't follow the pros and probably can't name more than two or three so I doubt you've offended any of my "friends". KaBoom!
