FINALLY KBFN Qualifier Video

[fishbum]

With IE ver 6 sp 2 I get a dead end 404 when I click the front page button. With Firefox ver 5.0 I see the verbiage for the video, but there's nothing to click.

Why are you covering the KBFN and ignoring the KBF? The KBF is larger and more impactful in Ky, and it's also the original Federation.

The KBFN is run by a good guy, and I have nothing against them personally, but I want no part of the B.A.S.S. the ESPN suits have created. They ain't done yet either.

I had to go to Barren and the tournament was there.. That is why I covered it. No favoritism, I just was looking for something to shoot and I had to go to Barren on Business.. so I just figured I would kill 2 birds with one stone. It was good practice.. I will gladly cover the KBF and any other tournament on Video IF I CAN FIND A SPONSOR to pay my gasoline. Otherwise coverage will be as I can do it when I can, and where I can afford to go..
Does that answer the question?
I paid for the Camera, the Software and put in the time on this. It was so I would not go in to the trip to Canada or the Amazon this year with no experience on shooting video.
I have a customer on Barren who is starting a tackle business.. www.NancyTackle.com (Yes shameless plug) and the tournament was across the street from our meeting place.

If KBF keeps going down the road they're on, they'll wind up folding.

Once upon a time KBF was the powerful entity that Devilshorse mentioned, but not anymore. The split along with management issues have really hurt KBF.

I totally disagree Bass wipe The Kbf with the TBF are much stronger now than before because there is not a huge political string hanging on to us However because of some peoples interpretation of how we split we have lower numbers but that to will change. The only ,management problem we have is that some don't like the management therefor everything is wrong to them but that is OK.

"CAN YOU HOLD UP THE BIG ONE"

Good job on the video!!

Hey, I am learning.. LOL.. if you want something you have to ask.. my old "Grand Pappy" used to say.. Most of the guys had been holding them up.. I have some more.. but not the 2 biggest.. and I have one where the guy drops the fish 2 times.. but I just did not want to put that up. Ammunition for the aunties..

Sorry Jim, I misstook some things you said, Yes Ruckus was the straw that broke the camels back, and it hurt as I have been with BASS a long time, It upset me, as weel as some others that I did not fish any of the qualifers last year,though I did fish the KBF team circut. But the main thing I do agree with you on is that now with two federations, maybe it wiil have an impact on the conservation side as this to me is the most important thing we need to focus on so we can have fish and places to catch them in the future. We all as fisherpeople need to be concerned about the enviroment and make it known to both BASS, FLW, The FED nation, The Federation that this is our #1 priority so we can enjoy our sport in the future.

Thanks Bobby, it looks like we're both on the same sheet of music. Best of luck man.

Basswipe, I'm sorta out of touch with the KBF, wasn't aware they had mgmt issues. They've gone to a KBF members only web site and since I disagreed strongly with that strategy I don't go to it much. Every so often some anonymous hacker would make comments or accusations and get em all stirred up. Instead of being smart enough to ignore the trollers or have some fun trading flames with them, they tightened down the web site. Even more boring forum now than it already was.

Didn't fish any qualifiers this year because the championship is out of Carrollton on the mighty O, and I don't enjoy fishing there. (The river rats would say I'm just not a good enough fisherman...and they'd be right.) IMO one of the smartest things Greg'n'em has done is avoid the Ohio River with the KBFN tournaments.
