What happened to Luke Clausen

[BigB]

Was just wondering why he is not fishing the Bass this year, I noticed his fishing the FLW instead. I thought he was doing pretty well on the Bass. Just a thought. I don't think that I over looked him.

Far as I know he agreed to fish the FLW and not Bass, even after winning the Bass Championship...His contract wouldn't even let him defend his title...That was a sad thing for him...But he's making the money in the FLW anyway.....

talk to the pro's...not many of them are happy with the way bass runs things now days..larry nixon was really vocal about this very thing last year....and luke had a problem with them also...basically it boiled down to bass wanting the pros to pay all their entry fees for the year up front...even in tourn. that they werent going to fish(ala conflicted with an FLW tourn.)

I think several of the pros decided to just fish the FLW because they were frustrated with the direction of BASS. They said that they were semi- retiring. But it leaked out they were not happy with BASS.

Yes, the same thing happened in reverse a few years back, when everyone was leaving FLW to fish B.A.S.S. exclusively over sponsor conflicts. I think some guys don't like the entry fees on the Elite Series and that has a lot to do with people being unhappy.
