Don;
Thats way to much travel for me, Don't get me wrong, I am not a big fan of BASS/ESPN, they are in this for the money just as FLW. If it was not for the money, FLW would not put out any type of offer. FLW has offer up a lot of incentives, The Federations stand to get a lot of funding if we use FLW sponsored Cedit Cards. Discounts on FLW and TBF clothing, and others discounts on line stores.
The one thing that I did not see was the Liability and A/D 24 - 7 insurance that was offered by BASS/ESPN. Will this mean that my club needs to purchase this Insurance? Just another cost to the small clubs, shoots take $5.00 saving out the window.
Again this is just my view, I'm not trying to debate this. I have printed the proposals and have been conparing the 2.

I do agree with you on the way that BASS/ESPN have acted during this mess. I too would have walked out of the meeting.
Have a great day, hope to meet you on the water some day and share great fishing stories
