@@brandonhavis8526 thank you very much. I was raised old school when it comes to journalism. I remember developing my 35mm film in a can, in a darkroom! I'm old. 🤣
@@cerebraltackle there a need for some old school ways in our modern world. Social media and technology has changed people and some of it isn't for the better.
Trey McKinney is my neighbor. He grew up fishing in my pond all the time. Such a really good kid, so humble and eager to learn and become better. He can out-fish anybody reading this without sonar, 100%. You just have to use it if you want to win tournaments. Trust me, the kid can FISH! Also his parents are legendary barrel racers who owns a country store in my town. GREAT PEOPLE! The image some of you trying to give Trey and his family is just wrong. All I see is jealous old men who wish they were half the angler Trey is.
Thanks CT for doing the hard work of proving jealousy trash talk untrue. If we all jump on the accusation train without vetting the truth, it ruins lives. I’d be the first to call out a cheater if proven out. That kid has a lot of turbulence surrounding him because he’s successful. Wish him the best!

@@illiniteamtrail Thank you, I appreciate kind words. People don't seem to understand that I was really looking for wrongdoing. That I wanted to find that fire behind the smoke.

Personally, I think Brad should be banned from the ITT for spreading false claims and talking bad about the trail. What he did was borderline defamation all because he was upset he got his butt handed to him by someone half his age.
I was a huge fan of trait and Chris until the past year. Between stuff like this and Chris bashing milliken and the way he treats non competitors on the lake, ive avoided their content. I don't think trait is a good person and she brings the worst out of Chris.
Great video. Rick Cheatam is an extremely talented fisherman and most likely as good as any pro to ever fish, and Trey is an amazing and talented young man who comes from a great family. It’s a shame that what he’s doing isn’t being celebrated but rather being bashed out of jealousy.
@@altielannom4590 100% facts. I know a lot of people who understand where Trey comes from and how he was brought up. The mommy and daddy gave him everything thing is such low fruit and simply pure laziness on the part of those who don’t care to know the young man but instead tear him down. I don’t know Rick personally but from what I understand Trey has a work ethic second to none. It started early he was trained. No different than golf lessons or club Soccer. He was just born with the natural talent and has done something with it. Glad a few of us are celebrating most of these rookies. They have earned our support.
I am LMFAO😂! Stop it, guy! Every time I think you have posted the best video I have seen about stuff like this, you top it again. This ranks up there with the “Mike Long is a cheater” and you “only” spent a month doing it. I don't know Trey M from a hole in the ground. I hate FFS in tournaments. But I despise rumor mongers of all stripes. In my career in wildlife conservation, I suffered through four bouts of front-page rumor mongering, brutal accusations, and formal investigations. All were unfounded, all disproven, and zero apologies from anyone. I won't wish Trey M good luck because he is competing against guys I know and respect and because I HATE FFS IN TOURNAMENTS. But I will say kudos to him for everything he achieves within the rules. Fuck haters and the ill will they spread like COVID-19. And kudos to you, sir!
@@terryjohnson666 While we may disagree "some" on FFS, I highly respect your opinion. I get it. I appreciate the kind words and you sticking by me. 👊 I'm right there with you! The rumor morons are just that! I'm so glad you're here, and THANK YOU! Much respect sir! 👊💯
😂😂😂😂😂 Leave it to man to take an activity and turn it into a competition. Once there is competition, leave it to man to whine when someone is better. My first outdoor memories are fishing. My best memories are riding my horse to go fish. My heroes when it comes to fishing? The great fishermen in my life. None fished in a tournament (other than our family bragging rights). Fishing was a way to feed the family. You better learn well or go hungry😂 Some day Cerebral Tackle, those bullies that pick these stupid fights will no longer question you. You are a great researcher on any topic brought to you. You are not gullible enough to buy any conspiracy theory. You despise and usually own bullies(thank you). Another great video sir😊
The jealousy in tournament fishing is out of control. This year the Elite Series was a soap opera. I agree hit the BS spreaders where it hurts the most, in their wallet. They might keep their mouth shut unless they have hard and credible evidence of wrong doing.
@@yooperrd651 thank you. Folks think their feelings count as real evidence. Trait, Chris, Randy, Luke... They think they should be believed because they're "part of the industry". That only means that someone holds their leash. They're even less credible.
I mean he called a couple of people who are in treys circle and asked them if anything shady happend, what do you think they were gunna say, deff nothing that makes the kid look bad, just sayin
@@johnlee7622 You couldn't be more wrong. If you listened, which you showed that you didn't, I called THE GUY who said HE gave Chris, Trait and Randy the information AGAINST Trey. THEN, I called every "witness" he could provide. None of them had any actual evidence. They would repeatedly say, "I know". When I'd ask "how", they'd reply "well, he had to have!". It was just their feelings. In fact, most of them stull talked about how awesome an angler Trey is! These are supposed to be people who are against Trey! Don't be stupid and don't insult my integrity. You'd be a lot better off if you removed your head from your ass and paid attention.
@@cerebraltackle yeah bro, u did ure due Diligence, but u aren’t over here w cell bright records and forensic cell phone records and locations etc etc, he’s a 19 year old kid w a live scope who had EVERY advantage, he’s a hammer and not going anywhere, I do think he fibbed about how he realized he was late for weigh ins at smith or wherever that was, and I do think due to a gray area in the rules he probably had a lot of help w this years schedule, where there is smoke there is fire imo
Let me add to this , I live in pickwick lake and was in my boat an seen trey an his partner an yes he caught them big fish an I didn’t see any kind of shady stuff , this kid is very good at using his technology an his technique is outstanding , an I also went to the weigh in so the that is false as well.
Jealousy is a terrible thing! It seems to have caused people to make up lies or straight slander others in hopes of bringing them down to lift themselves up??? Cold hard facts seem to be non-existent. I'd like nothing better than to see this young man win AOY or ROY just to hear what all these haters will have to say. Or to shut them up for good!
Scott Rook of Arkansas won several boats before he turned pro and then had sold them off to go onto the top 150, more than 3 boats to boot. He was the Arkansas river hammer for his era, and people are just jealous. Scott's success made me work harder until I finally won my own boat on none other than the famous Arkansas river in the very pool Scott was the King off.
I think Gee fished it in practice and the first 2 days until the Johnstons decided they "wanted it back". The same unwritten rule they complain about, they broke. I think they're titty babies.
Man this is the first time i have watched your channel i really enjoyed it. I have watched the bilge multiple times and trait doesnt ever stop talking and seems like she is very one sided about trey and jacob wheeler this has opened my eyes and i will defenitely watch your channel again . I feel like you are doing a actual fact finding show and not trying to spread a one sided view w out full facts good job
Why? It’s a personal opinion from a personal/professional acquaintance. TM may be and most likely is an honest guy but that too is also an opinion, just mine. And I know nothing about him.
@@cerebraltackle I just went through some of your replies, like the one to john lee where you tell him to get his head out of his ass and work on life skills. I find that a little bullyish. Go ahead, fire away with what I got coming! Lol
I am not a Trey McKinney fan. The dude is an absolute hammer though. Period. I may not dig the guy, but I can't stand people just crushing folks for nothing but conjecture and jealousy. Leave him alone if you have no evidence.
I am off both the Zaldains and Randy Blockhead. Trait actually thinks tournament anglers want her opinion. Totally narcissistic... Randy is just down right nasty because he's " jumped the shark" several years ago. I used to like him bought his sunglasses, over priced jigs etc to support his channel. He became down right nasty to coanglers etc. Very bitter about finishing 60th + in every tournament he fished...
Thank you, much appreciated! I'm going to have to watch more of your stuff. I apologize for being behind the curve on that. Every time I try to binge watch, something happens. My wife is a fan for sure! I really appreciate the comment! 💯👊
Man oh man… I appreciate you putting in the work and getting to the bottom of this! But it kinda of feels like to me that you are taking jabs at the zaldains and I sure as hell hope it’s not a jealousy thing bc they are nothing to be jealous of. They always act like they are better than us pheasants. I do agree with you one all but one! Thanks for the video!
@@treylee7623 No, I am in no way jealous of those two. I don't like bullies and I don't like being fed bullish either. I sincerely looked for any actual proof. I grilled BOTH SIDES. The only people who provided PROOF is the the TD (on behalf of himself, showing no wrongdoing) and Porter as to the polygraph examiner. There's nothing else. So, when it comes to bullies, I punch back.
Not saying you are wrong or that Trey did anything wrong or cheated. Just wondering how you know all of your sources are being honest? Not a dig, just curious
@@Whoblegear01 the side that is accusing him, I went - I went to every person who said they had something on him or information to give. I've been asked for proof. Feelings alone mean nothing. To accuse someone you have to have evidence. They end up having a gut feeling or an instinct, but zero evidence. Now the other side - they can actually prove theirs with documents. For example, about the boat. I showed the invoice to the boat and I have also seen documents talking about when the order was placed. As to Trey being on the water during the off-limits - there's evidence of a travelogue that exists that shows he was not even in the state. That's evidence versus feeling. That's how I know.
I just got credible information that Trey's real father is no other that ABC's The Bachelor aka Retired Professional BASS Tournament Angler Byron Velrick. The credible source came from a guy that fishes BASS Nation. He was talking to a guy that used to fish the Bass Opens, but now fishes Major League fishing. He talked to a guy who saw Bryon sometime 18 years ago in the state of Illinois. Are you following me? Trey's 19 minus nine months or so = 18years ago. If you take a look at Trey and a young Byron, you can't deny they look alike. I believe the source is credible, because well, they're fishermen.
@@cerebraltackle - I was waiting for your response. I really was expecting a more fun answer. Oh well. I can take the pop shot. Let it be known , I come from Clearlake CA. I was just having some fun. I did watch the weigh in and when Trey came to the stage, I was stunned at how much he looks like Byron. I realize that Trey is not Byron's son, but boy does he look like a young Byron. Remember, you're just one cast away...
One problem, there's no voice inflection on the internet. His mother is a nice lady, so I was kind of thinking it was a bit over the line even for me. I apologize for the misunderstanding misunderstanding. @@FishOutLoud
@@cerebraltackle - you are correct 👍 Thanks for pointing that out! The whole family is stellar! I could have used a better analogy! Remember, you’re just one cast away…
Great video, people just need to understand Trey is a stick. Always has been. He’s spent more time on the water than 99.9% of ppl that fish these Illinois trails. A hater is always gonna hate when they are getting there ass whooped
Sounds like a bunch of jealous hacks that can’t take getting whipped from this young man! The kid is obviously a heck of a stick, with or without Livescope for all of the he is only winning and finishing well because of Livescope! These guys just can’t except that some young kid is a better all around angler than they are! Trey should bring some law suits of his own for defamation! I for one am sick of all the crying from veteran pros about Livescope and the younger pros on tour! Put in the time with the technology available to you that these young guys have put in or don’t, just quit sniveling about it already. If you don’t have proof of wrongdoing then keep your mouth shut!
All I knew from the first time seeing him I just hate what this industry has turned into. Seems like the blue collar working class good ole boy don’t have a chance at the big leagues no more unless you’re 1 in 10 million. Which is a shame. How the industry rewards the well connected, well off financially kids with good family’s and good homes… if only I had been blessed like these spoiled brats I see left and right. It’s not just about me. It’s about the next young kid that doesn’t have these things together. And the industry has made it to where if you’re an adult you have to be a successful business owner with other assets on top of that to have a serious chance. It’s really a shame. The industry wants these young prodigy superstars and it’s not natural and many folks don’t like it, I’m disgusted watching it.
Aren't all sports and LIFE this way?!?! You must have a lot of hate & jealousy in your heart. Let it go man, it will eat you up from the inside. I'm no millionaire, just a working guy and fish out of a kayak but I love to fish. I can find the good in people and the enjoy their moments in the sun!
I’ve never doubted Tray’s ability to catch fish (Scope or not), but if you wish to do a concise investigative report, you should never expect anyone confirming to have received any compensation for something shady….
@@Juan_Mattos I think you're missing the point. I went to those making the accusations and asked THEM what proof they had. I looked for any and all evidence of wrongdoing. There simply is none. What would you have me do beyond that? What would you do? Do you have an education in journalism? If someone says they "know" someone was paid - they had to have HEARD it right? So, when someone says that they "KNOW"...but every person who "knows" can't remember where they heard it...it's just a "gut" feeling? Know what that's called? It's called bullshit.
This is not about journalism, all I’m saying is not a single person in this planet that has received payment for something illegal is going to confess to a journalist they had@@cerebraltackle .
@@BJDavis-vn1gr What is your evidence? Nothing? Yeah, thought so. I would spend another month calling people that had absolutely nothing. I've already been down this road. Take a number.
You did your homework here, but where there’s smoke there is fire. Trey committed multiple time violations on the elites this year, and was very disrespectful to GMAN at St. John’s when called out for breaking a rule. Before that I didn’t mind him, but since then I honestly haven’t cared much for him🤷🏻♂️
I would suggest that you look at my part 1 and part 2 of the Swindle versus McKinney videos. You're wrong. You'll see. Also look at my Shady Bunch video as well. Swindle is not at all what you think he is.
First, I know exactly who is being accused. Second, I know why they're not naming names...it's because as with everything else they say, there's no proof. They don't name names because they know they have ZERO ACTUAL PROOF. I'm not going to name the rookie because I don't want to feed into the rumor mill crap. It's not just Chris, Karen and Randy that do this. There are other channels that also participate in this kind of behavior. You and I both know who they are. I have a message for them - if they participate in this kind of behavior, I'm coming for them.
Not a guy a root for, but that doesnt mean he is a bad guy. He's young, and carries himself a bit arrogant(open to interpretation). That said he is killing it on a community hole this week. He can flat out catch them. It could be a career year, or it could be the start of a once in a lifetime angler. Time will tell.
I'll call it like I see it. I'll reach out for comment and go from there. But see, wasn't it just a week ago the J-Pow and Gerald we're talking about how easy the polygraphs were to pass how they were a "joke"? Yet, someone just failed one. Which is it? Can't have it both ways. Pick one. 🤦
@@MasonPorterFishing 1) I was told Instagram by your father who also said he'd ask you for the picture but never provided it. 2) I looked and that I found, no picture exists. We're not doing rumors here. If you have actual proof including Metadata that shows location, date and time, I'll gladly review it. Otherwise, the time for discussion is way past being over. I've humored the conspiracies long enough. Every so called "lead" was a dead end. I've heard good things about you young man and I wish you the best. Keep your chin up and keep fishing!
@@cerebraltackleit’s called a theory. Conspiracy is a crime not a theory. The CIA got y’all good most folks have a problem with how hard they brainwash us to associate negative cues to certain swords they choose and the complexity of words and the simplicity of a dumb America. But I respect everything else, it should all be about factual evidence.
If the people that sold him information wanted to come out and just tell any random person who asked that they did so... This controversy wouldn't exist. Not saying he has done anything wrong but a phone call directly asking if the person sold waypoints is not getting the facts.
Seems like you have a man love for Trey. Too many important things going on in the world to spend this much time on one person. It's like the news media spending any time talking about Taylor Swift.
I don't know what you're listening comprehension level is, but this is a fishing channel. It's one of the topics of the day. If you don't like it, there's thousands of other channels. So take your keyboard Cowboy bullshit elsewhere. I won't miss you. Just like your father didn't when he left for milk and cigarettes.
@@itselectric3906 Haha, NOPE! Honestly, that wouldn't even have come close to touching the work I put in on it. I really did talk to everyone that was supposed to corroborate the rumors. None of them had a single piece of evidence. Meanwhile I got tons of documentation from the other side. I called it down the middle.
So why should we believe what you say? You sound like someone “with a microphone” that loves Trey M. There’s a lot more than three people upset over something involving Trey and most won’t say one word what it’s about. Since you look like an Elite angler I’m sure you’ve got the inside info. 😂😂😂
@@robstone1489 See, what simpletons like you don't understand is that "feelings" aren't "proof". I've said several times, assuming that you can read, that I went TO THE SOURCES who were upset. They had NO PROOF. Proof isn't your "feelings". What don't you get about that? Do YOU have proof? What? You don't? Let me guess, you FEEL. Right? Yeah, that's what I thought. I'm sure you can see your way out.

Because you know the facts don't support your narrative.
Well Trey is in for a polygraph today for unsportsmanlike conduct, his mom’s freaking all out yelling at bass officials… lmao………..with that being said u know the kid is getting waypoints from somebody , but those somebody’s will take that secret to the grave. Good work Trey if u can get away with it go for it , haul ass through those no wake zones & keep up the scope work and pay them good for those way points… lol

@@butchmontgomery3595 that's what I'm saying Butch, there is nothing there. I literally went to the sources who were claiming they had information and they had nothing.

There wasn't one scintilla of evidence. If I am ever proven wrong, with actual evidence, I will be the first to admit it.
@cerebraltackle There's no doubt the kid is a good stick with or without FFS. Is he gonna live up to all the hype? Time will tell there. He's rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. I really don't think it's jealousy but there's something causing it that we aren't hearing. You gotta admit he's done some stupid stuff (like answering the phone) because he is green and didn't pay enough attention and make sure to listen and follow the rules in the video all the anglers are sent. He gave himself a black eye w that stuff. It's a tough lesson for him to learn. If he would have had his head on straight nobody had a chance to catch him in the AOY race. He's lucky to still be as close as he is.
@@butchmontgomery3595 yes, he is absolutely green! Who amongst us would have been that prepared at age 19? With that said, you have to take into account who's doing the talking. Are the Zaldains known for not having an ego? For not being biased? Is Randy, the gut who HATES co-anglers and anyone under the age of 50, the guy to listen to? Is gerald, the guy who blatantly lied on his video, the go-to guy for honesty? I'd say no. There are others too...but I'm holding those cards until it's time.
I'm not sure what this is all about but it is interesting. Cheating is always interesting. Unless you are a politician or have tons of $, eventually most of them get caught or pay for it. I can think of other ways to live ok, eat decent and be content without always having to cover my tracks.

Great video. Rick Cheatam is an extremely talented fisherman and most likely as good as any pro to ever fish, and Trey is an amazing and talented young man who comes from a great family. It’s a shame that what he’s doing isn’t being celebrated but rather being bashed out of jealousy.
@@altielannom4590 this!
@@altielannom4590 100% facts. I know a lot of people who understand where Trey comes from and how he was brought up. The mommy and daddy gave him everything thing is such low fruit and simply pure laziness on the part of those who don’t care to know the young man but instead tear him down. I don’t know Rick personally but from what I understand Trey has a work ethic second to none. It started early he was trained. No different than golf lessons or club Soccer. He was just born with the natural talent and has done something with it. Glad a few of us are celebrating most of these rookies. They have earned our support.
Keep up the good and hard work brother.
Great job. As always. I always look forward to your videos.
Thank you!
I am LMFAO😂! Stop it, guy! Every time I think you have posted the best video I have seen about stuff like this, you top it again. This ranks up there with the “Mike Long is a cheater” and you “only” spent a month doing it. I don't know Trey M from a hole in the ground. I hate FFS in tournaments. But I despise rumor mongers of all stripes. In my career in wildlife conservation, I suffered through four bouts of front-page rumor mongering, brutal accusations, and formal investigations. All were unfounded, all disproven, and zero apologies from anyone. I won't wish Trey M good luck because he is competing against guys I know and respect and because I HATE FFS IN TOURNAMENTS. But I will say kudos to him for everything he achieves within the rules. Fuck haters and the ill will they spread like COVID-19. And kudos to you, sir!

Scott Rook of Arkansas won several boats before he turned pro and then had sold them off to go onto the top 150, more than 3 boats to boot.

@@treylee7623 😊 thank you!
Not saying you are wrong or that Trey did anything wrong or cheated. Just wondering how you know all of your sources are being honest? Not a dig, just curious
@@Whoblegear01 the side that is accusing him, I went - I went to every person who said they had something on him or information to give. I've been asked for proof. Feelings alone mean nothing. To accuse someone you have to have evidence. They end up having a gut feeling or an instinct, but zero evidence. Now the other side - they can actually prove theirs with documents. For example, about the boat. I showed the invoice to the boat and I have also seen documents talking about when the order was placed. As to Trey being on the water during the off-limits - there's evidence of a travelogue that exists that shows he was not even in the state. That's evidence versus feeling. That's how I know.
I just got credible information that Trey's real father is no other that ABC's The Bachelor aka Retired Professional BASS Tournament Angler Byron Velrick. The credible source came from a guy that fishes BASS Nation. He was talking to a guy that used to fish the Bass Opens, but now fishes Major League fishing. He talked to a guy who saw Bryon sometime 18 years ago in the state of Illinois. Are you following me? Trey's 19 minus nine months or so = 18years ago. If you take a look at Trey and a young Byron, you can't deny they look alike. I believe the source is credible, because well, they're fishermen.
@@FishOutLoud what are practice is called journalism. Being from Florida, I doubt you can spell it...let alone grasp it.
@@cerebraltackle - I was waiting for your response. I really was expecting a more fun answer. Oh well. I can take the pop shot. Let it be known , I come from Clearlake CA. I was just having some fun. I did watch the weigh in and when Trey came to the stage, I was stunned at how much he looks like Byron. I realize that Trey is not Byron's son, but boy does he look like a young Byron. Remember, you're just one cast away...
One problem, there's no voice inflection on the internet. His mother is a nice lady, so I was kind of thinking it was a bit over the line even for me. I apologize for the misunderstanding misunderstanding. @@FishOutLoud
@@cerebraltackle - you are correct 👍 Thanks for pointing that out! The whole family is stellar! I could have used a better analogy! Remember, you’re just one cast away…
I have seen many false accusations in tournament fishing. If you have no definitive proof keep quiet.
Great video, people just need to understand Trey is a stick. Always has been. He’s spent more time on the water than 99.9% of ppl that fish these Illinois trails. A hater is always gonna hate when they are getting there ass whooped
@@keatonroadman7737 yep! 💯
Sounds like a bunch of jealous hacks that can’t take getting whipped from this young man! The kid is obviously a heck of a stick, with or without Livescope for all of the he is only winning and finishing well because of Livescope! These guys just can’t except that some young kid is a better all around angler than they are! Trey should bring some law suits of his own for defamation! I for one am sick of all the crying from veteran pros about Livescope and the younger pros on tour! Put in the time with the technology available to you that these young guys have put in or don’t, just quit sniveling about it already. If you don’t have proof of wrongdoing then keep your mouth shut!
Bingo!
So many jealous "men" over this kid. Its ridiculous.
All I knew from the first time seeing him I just hate what this industry has turned into. Seems like the blue collar working class good ole boy don’t have a chance at the big leagues no more unless you’re 1 in 10 million. Which is a shame. How the industry rewards the well connected, well off financially kids with good family’s and good homes… if only I had been blessed like these spoiled brats I see left and right.
It’s not just about me. It’s about the next young kid that doesn’t have these things together.
And the industry has made it to where if you’re an adult you have to be a successful business owner with other assets on top of that to have a serious chance. It’s really a shame. The industry wants these young prodigy superstars and it’s not natural and many folks don’t like it, I’m disgusted watching it.
So what you're saying is that the fishing industry should offer you welfare? Can't do it on hard work? 🤣
Aren't all sports and LIFE this way?!?! You must have a lot of hate & jealousy in your heart. Let it go man, it will eat you up from the inside. I'm no millionaire, just a working guy and fish out of a kayak but I love to fish. I can find the good in people and the enjoy their moments in the sun!
@@jimoconnor8597 bingo!
I’ve never doubted Tray’s ability to catch fish (Scope or not), but if you wish to do a concise investigative report, you should never expect anyone confirming to have received any compensation for something shady….
@@Juan_Mattos I think you're missing the point. I went to those making the accusations and asked THEM what proof they had. I looked for any and all evidence of wrongdoing. There simply is none. What would you have me do beyond that? What would you do? Do you have an education in journalism?
If someone says they "know" someone was paid - they had to have HEARD it right? So, when someone says that they "KNOW"...but every person who "knows" can't remember where they heard it...it's just a "gut" feeling? Know what that's called? It's called bullshit.

@@DesignWho Hello good Dr sir!
You did your homework here, but where there’s smoke there is fire.

What’s your thoughts on today’s news with a (unnamed) rookie buying waypoints for st lawrence River?
First, I know exactly who is being accused. Second, I know why they're not naming names...it's because as with everything else they say, there's no proof. They don't name names because they know they have ZERO ACTUAL PROOF. I'm not going to name the rookie because I don't want to feed into the rumor mill crap. It's not just Chris, Karen and Randy that do this. There are other channels that also participate in this kind of behavior. You and I both know who they are.
I have a message for them - if they participate in this kind of behavior, I'm coming for them.
Get ready!
Not a guy a root for, but that doesnt mean he is a bad guy. He's young, and carries himself a bit arrogant(open to interpretation). That said he is killing it on a community hole this week. He can flat out catch them. It could be a career year, or it could be the start of a once in a lifetime angler. Time will tell.
Great s

If the people that sold him information wanted to come out and just tell any random person who asked that they did so... This controversy wouldn't exist. Not saying he has done anything wrong but a phone call directly asking if the person sold waypoints is not getting the facts.
Seems like you have a man love for Trey. Too many important things going on in the world to spend this much time on one person. It's like the news media spending any time talking about Taylor Swift.

I don't like people getting bullied. If you've come here to try to bully me, you're outclassed dude. I concentrate on truth and fairness. If you don't like that, get the fuck out.
@cerebraltackle Im not bullying anybody! Where there's smoke there's usually fire. Let's see how it all plays out.
@@butchmontgomery3595 that's what I'm saying Butch, there is nothing there. I literally went to the sources who were claiming they had information and they had nothing. The only thing they have is jealousy. I guess there's two things, they have bias. I went looking for evidence. I went looking for something that showed there was fire. There wasn't one scintilla of evidence. If I am ever proven wrong, with actual evidence, I will be the first to admit it.
@cerebraltackle There's no doubt the kid is a good stick with or without FFS. Is he gonna live up to all the hype? Time will tell there. He's rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. I really don't think it's jealousy but there's something causing it that we aren't hearing. You gotta admit he's done some stupid stuff (like answering the phone) because he is green and didn't pay enough attention and make sure to listen and follow the rules in the video all the anglers are sent. He gave himself a black eye w that stuff. It's a tough lesson for him to learn. If he would have had his head on straight nobody had a chance to catch him in the AOY race. He's lucky to still be as close as he is.
@@butchmontgomery3595 yes, he is absolutely green! Who amongst us would have been that prepared at age 19? With that said, you have to take into account who's doing the talking. Are the Zaldains known for not having an ego? For not being biased? Is Randy, the gut who HATES co-anglers and anyone under the age of 50, the guy to listen to? Is gerald, the guy who blatantly lied on his video, the go-to guy for honesty? I'd say no. There are others too...but I'm holding those cards until it's time.
I'm not sure what this is all about but it is interesting. Cheating is always interesting. Unless you are a politician or have tons of $, eventually most of them get caught or pay for it.
I can think of other ways to live ok, eat decent and be content without always having to cover my tracks.
