[#0000FF]Everyone to their own tastes...said the old maid as she kissed the cow.
I did not try to discourage anyone from watching his show and forming his own opinions. All instructional shows...like cooking, home improvements or whatever...are aimed toward a specific audience or at least appeal to certain people more than others.
I'm the first to admit that Gary's shows might help some folks who are still a ways down the learning curve. But the way he handles fish and his repetitive use of the same old trite expressions quickly turn off more experienced anglers.
My little "tirade" in this thread was simply pointing out a major goof. And since we have had several discussions on Gary's shows in the past it is nothing new on these boards. I did not attack him. Merely pointed out a very glaring error. Anybody who holds themselves up as fishing experts should be above that kind of thing and are leaving themselves open to potshots. And if he can't take it he should not be putting himself in the public eye.
Hang around awhile, make some worthwhile contributions to the board and I will take your criticism more seriously. We all have to earn our respect around here.
