KEVIN, i need your advise on this too. i don't know what to do folks. should i keep my present name and so forth or should i start over? i loved ZOOKER, many of you understand my delimia. so i will ask you to think about this SERIOUSLY. i will do whatever everyone decides is best. because i TRULY don't know what to do here. i know i will NEVER take his place nor do i want to. i am the cheerleader here mostly, and the clown as well. i enjoy those titles. cherish each and every one of you guys. so i am at a crossroads and need my friends here to help me out. so don't post some quick response here, think about it first. PLEASE.

kevin.......YOU are the one who has the most to say on this matter since this is YOUR site. you think about it and let me know. i will do as requested gang.

John,

I think it is a beautiful gesture on your part, but I don't know that Zooker would mind one bit. There may come a time when someone else who never knew him at all exceeds 10K posts. Because of that, I think it is very fitting that it be you who is the first to move past him.

bcklash · 03-02-11, 06:43 PM

John somebody will someday pass zookers post count, it might has well be you. I can't think of anybody I would rather see do it. I'd bet our lost brother would say go for it.

nobass · 03-02-11, 06:47 PM

john zooker was your friend i do not ever remeberring him talking about his post count. i think he would be honored if you where the one to past him. zooker can never be replaced just remembered for who he was.

1/4 stick · 03-02-11, 07:11 PM

I agree with Cass. Eventually somebody that didn't know him at all will do it not knowing what that record means. Personaly I think Zook would have prefered that you, a good friend and someone that has respect for and knows what that record is pass it. Just my opinion on it.

BigBassin144 · 03-02-11, 07:18 PM

I definitely agree with Cass too. 10K is a lot, but someone else will eventually get there. I'm sure Zooker would rather have you be the first. I say go for it man! Besides, I don't think Zooker should be remembered as a post count, but as a great guy and fisherman who shared a lot of great information and also a lot of good BS with his friends here.

bassboogieman · 03-02-11, 08:35 PM

WWZD - Yeah, What Would Zooker Do? You know the answer to that, he'd say go for it.
The respect we all hold for the man was not based upon his post count. And our respect for you John will not grow greater if you surpass his post record. Post count isn't near as important that POST CONTENT - so in that respect

you've a long way to go.

MallenManson · 03-02-11, 08:52 PM

Do it up, John. If ya don't, Zooker's gonna smack you upside the head once you get to see him again.

Everyone who knew Zooker, knows just how much he meant to these boards, and just how important all his posts were. You passing him up, won't change that.

It really says something about your character that you've brought this up.

WatterBoy · 03-02-11, 09:56 PM

Yep, what they all said. I agree.

carolina-rig-01 · 03-02-11, 10:15 PM

I always thought of a post count as an unimportant number in all honesty. I think what is in the content of the post is far more important than the number of post. The fact that you thought about changing your username in Zookers honor is a great gesture. But I agree that you should just keep on keeping on.

woody · 03-02-11, 10:31 PM

John try to base your decision on what YOU feel is right, not on what other people think. ok

-Mark

bamabassman · 03-02-11, 10:44 PM

thanks gang. it really isn't important to me (posts count). i just wanted to get everyones feed back on it. if there is ANYTHING about ZOOKER that i know, it's that he would say the same thing all of you are saying. so i will keep my current standing and let it go as it is. thanks for the replies gang. yet again.........ya'll have proven tome wht i felt all along. YOU FOLKS ARE THE GREATEST!!

i may not post many Important things. but i post from my heart and my gut. i try to make things fun if at all possible. so again, thank you gang.

keithdog · 03-02-11, 11:39 PM

As soon as I read this which is right now, I knew right away Zooker would give ya hell for not carrying on just as you always have John. It's as though he has handed off the torch to you with a wide grin. Zooker wasn't the kind of guy who paid much importance to such things anyways. What he did care about was sharing what he knew with those around him who wanted to pick his brain. You know darn well when you do pass his total, he's gonna be smilen down on you and sayin, way to go buddy! And whatever you do, don't EVER change your user name. After all, what would the world be like without Bamabassman!!!!!!!!!

Bassboss · 03-03-11, 08:23 PM

A can't agree more with wants been said John. I think if there's one person Zooker would want to pass him up in posts, it's YOU FOR SURE, a good friend and brother.

flfireman · 03-03-11, 11:21 PM

Never check, we have those. Just do it, we already realize half your post's are about Bama football, so they really shouldn't count.The other 1/4 of them talk about Lisa outfishing you.

Now that's funny!

nofearengineer · 03-04-11, 04:37 PM

John, I'm sure if anyone was to top Zooker's post count, he would want it to be you.

I just think as you get ready to make your post number 13,442...you should stop and think a while and make it a really good, important post.
