Aaron Martens is the Joe Mauer of the Elite Series

Did you see how reacted to getting hit in the face with a fish.

He acted like it was covered in nuclear waste.

The funniest thing I have read about him on the internet.

Quote:

It seems like he wants to be a personality, without really having one.

When he was on Zona's Awesome Fishing Show, Z was getting really annoyed with him. He seems like the last person you'd want to spend the day fishing with.

I think he's funny, reminds me of Nick Swardson...

Those of us watching the classic only had the see that footage 500 times!!!

[KickNBass]

Yup, I have a feeling that will be shown every bassmaster classic for years...

I was watching this on the DVR last night with my girlfriend on the couch and even she was making fun of him. He's a professional fisherman and he acted like fish were the grossest thing on the face of the planet. It was a funny little clip, but his reaction afterward had me wondering what he was doing there.

I've fished with Aaron as a coangler and although he whines quite a bit he is a nice guy and a great fisherman. He kind of lets situations and conditions get into his head a bit but when he is on he is one of the best.

[TonkaBass]

He is for sure one of the greats! I dont have a problem with how he acts...

[Raider4ever]

Saw him on the Zona show. Zona was ready to strangle him. I'm thinking that was Aaron's last appearance.

Nuclear Waste? He is laughing all the way through the video. Keep in mind that the amount of time that guy spends in a boat/truck ALONE probably has something to do with his personality.

He wears his heart on his sleeve, he is driven to be great and feels he is just a short distance away from realizing his potential.

His disappointment is understandable considering the number of times he finishes second.

Most of us think he has a dream job. When hobbies and professions collide neither of them are ever the same again. The hobby becomes his life and new streesses are created as a result. It becomes the reason they miss their kids birthdays and other special occassions.

I am not sure I would trade places with him. I have a job, I can fish for fun, I can be there for my family.

I say we slap RRR in the face with a fish and see how he reacts. I've had a similar situation happen to me and reacted about the same. Having a coat of fish slime on your face is not a comfortable feeling. And when it dries it is even more uncomfortable. I didn't see him acting like it was nuclear waste either, he was laughing the whole time.
