Honestly I always thought it was just me. I'm kind of glad you hit on the subject Brian, now I know its not just me. I go through something similar every time I stop with my boat. I have a Pheonix 920 Elite and it is a nice boat, but its not like people don't see bass boats all the time. No exaggeration, whenever Im yanking my boat and stop at a gas station or something, a conversation with a local always ensues. Its never anything malicious, but it always feels weird to me. Like yes I get it you don't see many black people with bass boats, and in the rural areas where you are typically accessing these bodies of water they don't see many black people in general. Its like I pull into a gas station in these areas, and they arent expecting someone that looks like me to jump out and when they see me all of a sudden that boat becomes a unique phenomenon that inspires conversation. Its never been any mean or aggressive encounters but it is weird, because bass boats are fairly common and it just leaves a begging question inside. If I didnt look like me would we be having this conversation, because the lake is right up the road its not like you dont see bass boats all the time.

Kentucky lake WAS a great fishing lake, but that all ended when the Asian carp showed up. I fished an April tournament there in the mid 90’s and I couldn’t fish the whole day, I talked it over with the tournament director and he said I could weigh in early and leave. Long story short I fished 4 hours and weighed in 24pound 7 ounces. I thought I might win it without being there at the weigh in. Surprise surprise, I didn’t cash a check, I didn’t even make the top 10, that’s how great the lake was back then. Of course the lake had weeds back then, now there’s no vegetation and carp are everywhere. What a shame.

Most men who are friendly respectfully introduce themselves, or compliment the rig you're driving In a pleasant manner. These dudes talked amongst themselves, then sent the boldest one over to ask personal questions. I know B Lat was a bit wary...and on guard.

I’ve lived in Louisville, KY most of my 48.5 years on earth, excluding the 7 years I lived in Hawaii and Louisville is not like any other city in KY. I’ve travelled throughout the United States and have traveled quite a bit out of the country as well and I’ve seen more interracial relationships in Louisville than anywhere I’ve ever traveled. Louisville is just so much different from the rest of the Kentucky. For about a 10 year span me and some buddies fished Kentucky Lake twice a year. It never fails though, when at Kentucky Lake we always got “Deliverance” vibes. We’ve been told a many of times by passers by in cars while fishing under overpasses to “get off of our lake!” The exact comments were “niggers get off of our lake”! Not everyone down there is like that at all, I’m not saying that, but we got that way more often than one would expect. Living in Louisville, I’ve never experienced anything close.

My friend, I am from Ky, Dale Hollow is my home, Ky Lake is a regular stop for me. Now....PLEASE, PLEASE don't assume most folks....wait....more than a few residents here are of the ignorance the man has you met at the pump. Some of us, like myself, are from the southern/eastern part of the state, and speak with "lazy tongue ". That guy COULD have said "What event are you here for?", but instead said "What are you here for?". EVERYONE in Benton, Aurora, Cadiz, Draffenville, and Paducah would have KNOWN you were there for a bass tournament. EVERYONE. Sometimes we don't fulfill sentences with lots of context. And what's so strange about smoking while drinking coffee?? Man, I have UPMOST respect for you, but it is almost like you went in to Ky with a predetermined notion that you were going to experience a negative moment of which you meant. There are many "simple" folk here that don't see a tall van pulling a bass boat. (Remember me asking how you loaded and unloaded in your post back when you first got the van?) We aren't used to seeing a rig like that. The VAST majority of us here in Ky are friendly, welcoming people. Some times old fogies flare off with what's on their mind, they are knuckleheads. I hate your first experience in some time in Ky was one that made you feel unwelcome. As a WKU Hilltopper, Cardinal Fan, and bourbon fan, we're not that way, we've evolved beyond the Civil War.

I feel bad. My son and I crossed paths with you there in Duncan Bay. We were coming out of the very back of the creek as you were going back. I tried to give you room, but had to cut back to our right to get back into the creek channel because I was hitting bottom with my trolling motor. You spun around and went back out onto the flat. I felt like you had thought that we were trying to push you out. That was absolutely NOT the case. I apologize if you thought that's what we were doing. I kinda wish you would've went on back because the little backwater back there was full of beds. We didn't catch any monsters but man was there a bunch of males there. I bet we caught 15-18 keeper bucks before we left. They were still biting, but we had. To get back to camp.

How tall are you? I like the idea of the van. I have never seen a van I could stand inside of though. I had to watch my head when I rode the bus in school. I’m assuming it’s not just a normal sprinter van, but even still, I’ve never seen a van that was even remotely close to being safe for 6’3” to walk through half awake. They just let me stop wearing a helmet full time not long ago. Rather keep it that way from now on if I could help it. 😂😂

Those glasses make you look like Macho Man Randy Savage.
