Eric, dumping your boat and letting it freefloat is often the standard practice in the South and Mid-West. When you fish tourneys all over you see stuff like this and it is considered normal and in good taste to clear the ramp quickly. They don't even ask for permission to board your boat; they just expect that you expect them to hop on the closest boat and hitch a ride to their drifting rig.

Mike Wolsky told me about it then Jim Sumich told me he saw it too. I thought it was hilarious.

Dez,
My previous post said it all. I have only two things to add, 1.) What we do, say and write represents us. 2.) The next time we're at Banks, you're more than welcome to come drink with Daryl, Mark and I again in the RV.

Thanks guys for the Atta boys guys. I was in 31st place overall and maybe the 13th non-boater and needed a homerun this weekend, and was fortunate enough to get two. Mark I was actually the second place non-boater overall, Mike Whitlow was first and was 12th overall, so he would have made it regardless of the format. But thankfully I am headed to AZ next spring. Gotta say thanks to Les Whitley for getting us both on fish and an absolute blast to hang out with. Best thing about fishing qualifiers is the people you meet, and the friends you make. Les your welcome in P-town anytime. Now regarding Ricky Hamilton, I fished with him Sunday and had a great time. That said, It's clear he can be as abrasive as 80 grit sand paper, which I am sure rubs a lot of folks wrong. He has spent his life working as a Principal, teacher, football coach and wrestling coach, which might explain some of the behavior. I believe there are two sides to every story and not everyone is adept at recognizing that we are all a little different and how to adapt, very often ego's, passion and competition raise the intolerance levels. According to Ricky he fished tournaments successfully here in the mid eighties, (Ron your Dad may remember him?" and has lived in the south the last 20+ years. I've seen some of the behavoir talked about here, Including the boat discussion. I make no excuses for him, we all reap what we sow. I am quite certain he is not the monster or bad guy portrayed, but he has social weaknesses’, that I am pretty sure he is at least somewhat aware of. Just so you know when I met him Sunday morning, I walked up and introduced myself, said "whats the plan for the day," and he responded with, "Well I hear you have a chance to make the team and I'm outta this thing so were fishing for you, what ever you want to do" I responded with Ah Hell Yaa!!...... I think this is a good example of what he is capable of. BW in fairness, on Sunday we were to Weber point before you and it was my spot...aka. a community hole. Tell me if I do not speak the truth.

Steve my dad never fished for bass before 1998 or 1999 which was the first year we fished a tournament. So I don't think my dad would know him, but maybe due to some other circumstance.
