Hey guys it worked. ESPN aired the situation for ratings. It obviously worked look at this thread grow, fastest I seen in a long time. Now people will watch more just to see what happens next. If ya dont like what they air dont watch. I dont. To much coverage for the top guys even if they are losing. A rookie can have the lead by 10 lbs and gets no recognition like the big guys. Ike brings viewers and thats what they want. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ My opinion. You ever think maybe some of this BS is rehearsed. These shows can make or break a pro, so that is what they are doing for Ike making him a name and the channel that airs it. And you keep watching for more drama. Hardly anything gets posted on here about a tourney unless something bad happens like Ike. It is life, cannot be stopped.
My opinion. As far as breaking a rule I believe that all anglers have to abide by the laws for that body of water or be penalized for it. That should be in the tourney rules.
