BR Elite-member profiles 2025

Low_Budget_Hooker reply :

We have come up with something we want to try this year. We want to pick special anglers out and do a profile on them so we can all get a little deeper look into the lives of those we respect.

The number 1 requirement to be one of the BR Elite, is to be a positive role model for the youth of the site. For all of us for that matter, but especially the youth.

Secondly, they should be avid fisherman who are consistent, positive member of the community.

We will feature 1 angler/month thusly forming the "BR Elite 12" for the 2008 season.

So stay tuned for the announcement of the January Elite member, we hope you enjoy this new feature.

The Staff

EVEN THOUGHT YOU STARTED THIS MR> LBH:

OTHER MODS: You know the most obvious person for this is RUSS, one of you other mod mooks needs to make sure he is mentioned, as I know his humility will keep him from naming himself 8-)

grimlin reply :

Newbies feeling left out....been to enough boards where people just stop going to boards because of these things.

It seems like picking favor"ism" among a group of popular posters...

I hope I'm wrong about this one though.

1st one is up, please critique it. My goal is to highlight positive role models.

You're concerns were forethought however, I specifically didn't add "PB" or anything like that as a question. This is not about being better than anyone else. There is no competition here.

also, these will not ALWAYS be members of the site. If someone in the industry is doing new and special things, we may decide to do one on them. Nothing "clique-y"

grimlin reply :

Well then you guys are on the right path....1st choice however is an excellent one.

guest reply :

Whew, I was worried there for a minute, glad we got your OK on it Grimlin

Guys, feel free to PM me with any suggestions of how to make these better. This site is your site. Without you, we wouldn't exist. We always appreciate constructive input. All suggestions, used or not, are appreciated.

I think it is a bad idea. It will become an enless back and forth banter of who should or should not be and endless streams of nonsense of the same...If you want to nominate someone each month for doing an outstanding job, get the mods together and a panel and elect one according to their proven merits. It should be someone than dedicated their time to help a worthy cause ...NOT FISHING MERITS

guest reply :

Hey fish for dollars: Read Russ's original post THE CRITERIA is based on just that , not fishing ability.

The Mods put something together nice, they do this all for free, and why not try this out before we say it can't work 8-)

Apparently not!!!

My initial impression of the idea was not good. I understood all along from LBH's post that they had every intention of running it right to solve the problems it could create. I still think that if it is not ran perfectly feelings could get hurt, but Glenn and all the mods are very good at running a first class ship. So I think they deserve the benefit of the doubt to give it a go if wanted. Its pretty cool to give good people the attention they deserve if it can be done in the right way. If anyone can do it Bass Resource can. 8-).

yeah,the way LBH explained it helped.I just wanted to say something early so nothing later on would brew from this.The way they run this site and board they definely do deserve the benefit of doubt.I didn't mean to start anything. LoL I was just hoping to clear anything if anything.

5bass reply :

It's not a "who's the best fisherman" type of thing. It's way deeper than that. BR is just trying to recognize some members that stand out in everyday life as well as on this forum.....giving us a different perspective of what these people do and how they came up. I thought the first one with Alpster was a grand slam.

AMEN. You guys knocked that one right out of the park.

dave reply :

I've been reading posts since before I was a member. I've been a member since Jan. 2005. Fishing abilities not withstanding, a persons character comes across. Good Idea. Good 1st choice. Congrats Alpster.

If someone's feelings get hurt because they are not recognized for this award, maybe they are not doing enough to deserve it in the first place.

I realize that many people do things merely to be recognized and receive accolades. Its the people that do these things with a low profile, expect nothing in return and continue their efforts on a daily basis that are truly deserving.

Oddly enough, these people are usually viewed in a positive light b/c no matter how low profile they are, people see them for the good things they do.

Case in point: Alpster, the first selection.

Hey Matt , no one deserves anything, you will find that most people like Ronnie and Russ do the things they do unconditionally. The joy comes in the act of doing for another, expecting nothing in return. I am sure this will work out well and will inspire others to do the same JUST KEEP MOVIN IT FORWARD!!!! 8-)

mattm reply :

Muddy,

I agree 100%. I thought Alpsters turned out really great and undoubtedly he earned it.

Redlinerobert reply :

This is a great idea. There are so many people on this board and in this industry that do GREAT things. The beauty is that they do it not to get noticed, or publicly commended, but they they do it for the love of the sport and really genuinely love to help.

Great idea guys, you rock.
