ESPN coverage of 2007 Bassmaster Classic

You think the coverage was bad, you should have been there, went down, WILL NEVER GO TO ANOTHER ONE, of course until Im fishing in it....LMAO

Of course it may not do any good, but at ESPN.com there is a section at the bottom of the page "contact us" where you can leave comments/concerns/feedback. Maybe it would make a difference in the coverage for next years classic if they knew most of the anglers were upset. Just a thought...

Blessed Fishin,

Buzzking, What was so bad when you were there? I have been on several occasions and loved it. I was planning on being there this year, but some things came up. I would like to know what type of things were wrong.

Didn't like 4 hours of weigh-in to get 25 people across the stage, along with a few other things that I don't feel like typing a few pages about. It just wasn't my cup of tea, I would rather go fishing than watch that dog and pny show

Gotcha on the length of the weigh in. That is all TV and pyrotecnics (sp). I understand that. If you have ever been to any televised sporting event, TV really makes it time consuming. If you really want fun, go to a live pay-per-view boxing match. They spend an hour before the main event and most of the time you are listening to them introduce celebrities...big name people like Mr. T and others LOL.

F is too high.

I agree the coverage sucked, big time. You would think sine ESPN owns BASS, the coverage would be as good as past 2 years at Pittsburgh and Toho. I had the same thought about them selling BASS. They sure didn't seem interested in promoting the Classic. Maybe Ray Scott would be interested in taking it over again.

As usual Ike showed up in Punk mode....just a punk.He needs to learn how to handle fish as good as he catches them.

What about the prize money, maybe it is just me but to go from a half mill for first place to, 45k for second? That doesn't seem right, but I guess it sounds good for television.
