bassmaster classic

The convention center held 10,000 people and came close to filling up on Sunday, but was practically empty on Friday and Saturday.

The indoor coverage was like a rock concert but I didn't learn much about fishing, patterns, lures, etc. It was pretty much a Toyota, Mercury comercial. To thier credit they did a great job at the weigh in with all the lights, video, etc. I just wanted to see more fishing. Its kinda like watching fake wrestling, alot of talk and show, not much action.

This is from another post I made earlier on another thread (KIM BAIN) - but pretty much sums up my thoughts on the coverage...

Who were the two losers on the docks on Sunday morning? They were terrible, I kept waiting for them to start bumping chests and high-fiving each other over some stupid stuff they were talking about... lord, have some class and tell us something interesting, not how pumped you are that a pro angler is standing behind you waiting to take off after the rain ends. Honeslty, I was pretty disappointed by the whole coverage... didn't learn a thing... watching guys ride in on their boat being trailed behind a truck waving at people was lame... show 'em fishin'!!! That is the sport? Right?

I think they plan on doing a regular show about the classic in a couple of weeks when they will show all the footage of the guys fishing.
