Check the listings but I saw where I think they are showing Day 1 coverage on Sat and Day 2 and Day 3 on Sunday but never saw anything about Day 4 coverage. It would be nice to see Versus, The Outdoor Channel or some other channel that actually cares about Hunting or Fishing to pickup the Classic and Elite Series events.
First....The Classic only has three days of fishing. Secondly, BASS not ESPN dictated that the coverage be one week late. Broadcasting fishing is much more difficult than other sports because there are 50 competitors in 50 different places...we'll get much better coverage when they have time to put everything together so that we can see how things unfolded. Does it **** we have to wait....yes....does everyone already know who won.....yes....but the tv coverage will be better.
