Oh, since this is also the Engorgeous George/Hawkeye fishing thread i should note i was on the Cache la poudre Sunda and again yesterday.  The Colorado breenback cutthroat trout are very active right now.  all timy, six to eight inches, but very active.  I also cot a cutbo and two small brookies.

I fished another tournament Saturday and sucked.  Caught a ton of bass but not big enough.  The lake I was on has largemouth, smallmouth and spotted bass.  Spotted bass are so much fun to catch.

In my limited experience spotted bass like to dive deep when hooked and seek refuge in structure, sometimes tangling the line while largemouth like to fight on or towards the surface and so rarely get tangled.  Makes me think spotted are smarter.

I predict things will end badly for him.  He may call himself an influencer, but what he is is a target, a lightning rod.  Some small-minded and angry person is likely to take a shot at that target. That is the nature of targets and the small-minded.

They are scrappier.  Just like the smallmouth.  Strong fighters for their size.

Perhaps.  We should not lose sight that this person has a mental illness.  And mental illness can manifest in a variety of ways. Sometimes the most "normal"-appearing person can have some really sinister manifestations of mental illness; Jared from Subway and Nasser from the gymnastics thing come to mind.  Just how his mental illness evolves cannot be entirely predicted.

Mental illness diagnosed by who?  I know many of us share that opinion but it doesn't make it true.

Yes, of course. Sometimes common sense and the eyeball test is all you need. Do you really need validation from someone with an agenda?

Bud Light Brewer Lays Off Hundreds of U.S. Workers

Quote

 

Anheuser-Busch, the owner of Bud Light, laid off hundreds of US employees, the company announced Wednesday. The beer company has faced lagging sales and backlash after Bud Light's promotion with Dylan Mulvaney, a transgender influencer.

Less than 2% of the beer company's 18,000 US employees would be impacted, Anheuser-Busch told the WSJ reported, which first reported the layoffs. Corporate and marketing jobs were cut throughout offices in the US, the Journal reported.

If you’re worried about these people’s jobs, you should start drinking Bud Light. Put your money where your mouth is.

 

 People don’t buy products to give other people jobs, obviously you don’t either.

I never drank Bud Light before, should I start now?

 

The problem with and brands that go south, lose a huge amount of market share if they rarely recover, and if they do it will never be the same type of sales it had before.

Bud Light losing 25-30% in market share is a dramatic loss.  Even though Bud Light it will never be what it once was, it is still a profitable beer for AB.

Can't believe you people are still going on about people not buying a product.  You guys never cared any other time.  Weird.

I'm in the group that thinks people should just drink what they enjoy drinking.  Don't let politics or anything like that affect what you do.  That's my opinion on the whole thing.  Life is too short and there's too much else to deal with in life to let stupid things like that affect what you do.

I'm in the group that think posts like this are way over the top dramatic for some strange centrist reason.  It's not that big of a deal to walk 2 feet further down the beer isle.

You are a weird cat.  Why do you care what people choose to drink? Seriously, it is so strange.  And you aren't done yet.  

Im in the group that believes people should buy drink and eat whatever they want.

I agree somewhat.

The Bud Light boycott was so effective because Bud Light is a very mediocre light beer.   Nothing outstanding about it. There are so many other Light beers that are just as mediocre in the same market. 

The Chik-Fil-A boycott never took off because most everyone loves Chik-Fil-A, and it is much different than others in the same market.

I'm on the Trump sucks side.  Just because all the liberals dislike Trump does not make me a liberal.  Most independents dislike him and there are plenty of conservatives that dislike him. 

I'm a centrist.
