I have won the big fish tournament at Lox 7 out of 12 times and have yet to see Hank cash a so called check yet ! so for him to say his back yard is Lox makes me want to puke , i have been fishing Lox for 23 years and have seen skip reed many times in and out of the flats and have seen Hank feed off of skips Lox know how just like he did at the Big O feeds off of Skip Reed and Skip is the one who knows Holiday Park , Hank just rides in the boat to feed off of skip . the only back yard Hank has is the 12 foot by 12 foot section of grass behind his house !!! Skip should split away from Hank and keep all the money for himself since he is the one who catches all the fish and team gambler puts skip on big fish not Hank!!!!! so keep your mouth shut hanky !!

Quit your dam whinning and go fishing!

that's some tough talk .

Hank is a good guy and I have fished every 1 fish there hasn't even been 12 tourneys. My buddy has won a couple and I have won a couple and I know the rest of the guys that won so why do you come on this site to cause problems. Do us a favor and stay home no one wants to hear your whining. Hope to see you out there Hank.

Lets set the record straight, first off thank you for the kind words on my fishing abilities. Hank and myself and been fishing the glades backcountry togeather for over 30 years, as opposed to your 23 years. Although I have been fishing tourneys for 35 years, Hank and I have been fishing tourneys togeather for about four years and have been fairly successful. Hank actually fishes Lox, Sawgrass, and Holiday Park more that I do, usually during weekdays that is probably why you do not see him, or maybe it is because you don't venture back in the flats as once again you mention you only see me going in and coming out. The only reason as many people go in the flats now is because they have GPS's, maybe you might consider putting one on your christmas list, have your kids show you how to work it and if you grow a set maybe you can enjoy the success we have enjoyed in the flats. We both have our good days and bad days, but I would say we both catch our equal share of fish. If fact last year we won a tourney at Holiday Park when we weighed in 26 lbs. and Hanky caught all the fish and we split the money. Most everyone I know would love to have Hank as a partner, and I consider myself grateful for an equal partner willing to put in as much time and effort as he does.Hank and myself were planning on going to the Big "O" sunday, but if you are willing to come forward and identify yourself we will change our plans and go fish the one fish tourney at Lox (need to know by 6:00 p.m.) By the way who exactly is Team Gambler? Val, Bryon, Skip, Mike Surman, Donny Brown, Don Demont, Jason Quinn, Davey Hite, Chris Lane. All Gambler staffers in one way or another.

I hate posting on this site in fear of some clown posting a smart @ss come back , but I had to on this issue , I can say running fishing tournaments for years that Hank and Skip are one of the top teams and have won many tournaments at all locations that they have fished from here to the lake , they won the first king of the glades series and there skills propelled them into one of the hottest winning streaks in the everglades only steve and rodd came close to matching them . On top of all that they are the nicest and classiest champions that the everglades will and have seen and they dont hesitate to give up there patterns to help fellow anglers become better fishermen in the glades. to try and start something just because Hank stated his opinion about the holy lands is very child like and not needed , over 15 years of running tournaments and meeting 1000's of great people and anglers there will always be the few who cant handle being beat and taking in an opinion. I tip my hat to Hank and Skip they are a great team that will be talked about for years
not only on how they dominate the waters but for how classy they do it. Happy Holidays to all and
see everyone on the water and at the 2010 King Series...............................................................Bottom Line Mike

Bottom Line you can stop kissing @ss now !

first off merry christmas blm to you and yours.....BUT, I disagree,,his post about this Holy Lands tournament was way out of line...why try to put down a small local bunch of his nieghbors just trying to put somthing on by locals, for locals, on a weekend where ther isn't another thing going on fishing wise..just a few enjoying the holidays out on the water that may not have anything else to do....Class Act???? not on that thread. Oh yea, Happy Hanukka Hank.

I must say Blm , I agree with merry x-mas on the issue at hand ! no matter what you think of Hank he was way out of line on this one and has shown American way of back stabbing a fellow angler. we are all confused at his sudden outburst !
