How about that BASS coverage

[phoenix]

My guess is they thought they had a "captive audience" with us "dumb ole fisherman"............it is ALL about TV and the TV stars !! Not fishin !!

For those of you who want Ray Scott back, don't forget who sold BASS out to ESPN. He had taken control back from the lady in Alabama. Then sold out to ESPN and in turn totally ruined the federation. Check it out........every time I get a notice about renewing with BASS I write on the notice that "as long as Ray Scott and ESPN is involved they won't get any of my money". On the back of the card I write "thanks for paying the postage". I then slip it into the postpaid envelope and mail it.........

I agree coverage this morning was poor. Did you notice the weigh in shows are on primetime at a whooping 10pm both Saturday and Sunday

My take is that ESPN tried to make bass fishing big sport and could not so now they seek (some understandibly) just to make it profitable to show period. Notice for example how bass saturday has dropped to little to nothing. Replays they used to do on ESPN2 at 5am each morning of the workweek have been gone for a year now.

Now the web coverage is even worse because it is so easy and cheap to track what is happening on the lake and just put it out on the web.

I wonder if it would be good to have gone down to SC? I almost did it but my wife had a party today that I apparently agreed to several months ago

the expo is lots of fun! i went 2 years ago while vacationing in Fla and had a blast. new products, pros everywhere (and MOST generally friendly), lots of free giveaways and sweepstakes to enter in. to me this was better than watching the weigh in. if you get a chance, GO you will enjoy yourself.

Just got done watching the show tonight (Sat.), and I didn't think it was too bad. Not too informative, but I got to see alot of the greats in action, and some I am not too familiar with. But overall I thought it was OK.

I was worried about it being too ESPN'ed at the beginning with they were givine interviews while they were traveling at WOT. I guess they are pro's and a little more comfortable running 70+ than me.

Just finished watching it myself. I do think it was better than this morning. I think Mark Zona saves the show. I guess they know that us dumb ol' fishermen will watch it regardless.

Watched it last night and this morning (day 2) and thought it was pretty good. Showing the coverage at 10pm is going to be tough to watch. (still don't like Mike I.'s fishing persona seems like a good guy from the other coverage he gets away from the lake)

Well i have been watching it too--its not all that bad--But one thing for sure IM pulling for that little guy Hartley ,spelling--I sure hope he can pull it off GL to us all and him--

I think that fish he broke off at that dock will come back to haunt him. But he's sitting pretty good right now. But today is going to be colder with clouds watch out for KVD.
