I do think Gkramer is on to something. We just don't understand one another all that well. We get to thinking that everyone should think and act like us and that causes us to act conversely to people that don't.

 

Just think of the different things that sets you off that probably wouldn't set others off. Aaron fishes for a living so he is bound to be a little more uptight about all things fishing. I'm still not saying that he is a whiner cause I know that I can lose my cool over a NCAA football game. Doing the comparison, he has more of a right to be mad than me.

Based on what everyone says and the pros that I know that know him, he's a good guy with a funny cali way of talking, but more importantly he's a normal guy like you and me with mad fishing skillz making the best of what he's got.

I don't know him personally and apparently lots of people think he is great guy - he may truly.  I only know that if I came across on TV the way he does, I would hope that some of the people who like me would point it out to me and tell me to knock it off.

Is this Dr. Phil or something? : ;D

If Martens has Autism then Mark Davis and Dion Hibdon also have underactive thyroids...

Autism and Bipolar disorder are the new ADD's. Everyone has it... :

He may be an excellent fisherman but he acts like a baby. I remember one Elite T where someone was fishing near him and he complained about it all day. Its hard not for TV to show him whining when thats all he did all day. It started in the morning and was still going on at the end of the day.

I think he clearly has some form of an anxiety/social disorder. But then again Fourbizz complains like him... :

Must be a Cali thing.

I was having issues with the bass club I was in a few years back and wanted an outside opinion.  I read an article on Aaron Martens and he sounded like a genuine guy, so I shot him an email asking for advice.  Lo and behold, he replied within a day with a good, honest 500+ word response that really told me what I needed to hear.

Any Professional angler who would take the time out to write to someone he doesn't know or owe anything to, is anything but a 'doofus.'  

And people got upset when Ike went ballistic.

Martens wants it his way so get of the way.  

Well folks, everyone is human and we all make mistakes.  Whatever was going to be said has been said on both sides, so it's time to say g'night Irene.
