LMAO----Danny! No, I don't work for ESPN or BASS. I wasn't aware of the "modified shared weight" rule---Thanks SpotBoy. At least that is a step in the right direction. I still don't like it, but it is what it is. Actually, the BASS weekend series was run great----even if this was their first year in the "weekend series" I just don't like that format and I am not real thrilled with the Bluegrass District being all over the state. I tried talking them into a "River circuit" and they only put two on the river and then two more on the other ends of the state. Now, had they split those tournaments into 2 divisions---maybe more would be interested. Who knows. I really feel that any circuits have there good and bad--there's no clear answer for someone to say which one is best for someone else. I think whichever one fits you best,with all things considered, then pick that one and fish your hardest and have fun.
