What did mike long do?
Based on the video context provided, Mike Long was once considered an innovator in the bass fishing community, particularly in the realm of big bass and swimbait fishing. However, it appears there have been allegations and concerns regarding the legitimacy of his catches. The video discusses instances where Long's reported lake records, especially from the late 90s and early 2000s in the San Diego area, were highly questionable. There were suspicions that some of the trophy bass he claimed to have caught from certain lakes looked like they might have been taken from different bodies of water, as indicated by their coloration and other physical characteristics.
The video also mentions an article that goes into detail about these allegations, suggesting that Long may have engaged in dishonest practices such as claiming false records, potentially moving fish from one lake to another, and even poaching. The creator of the video encourages viewers to read the article and form their own opinions while also stressing the importance of being critical of sources and maintaining integrity within the sport of bass fishing.
The overall message seems to be a call for honesty and transparency in the fishing community, highlighting that unethical behavior, like what Long is accused of, can undermine the sport and the trust within the angling community. The video's creator emphasizes the value of #realfishing and sharing genuine experiences rather than fabricating successes for fame or recognition.
