  • Name a bigger drama queen in bass fishing

    Fake drama and name dropping. That’s what this clown brings to the table. He wants so bad to be “included”. In reality he’s just a failed musician, a failed bass fisherman and a failed YouTuber. It is hilarious how he uses the term “compete”. lol the only thing this clown competes for is his wife’s hairspray
