Hey Mark, I think most of the complaints were not because she was in the Classic or was a woman, I think it was because BASS basically created a spot for her instead of her having to qualify through the Elite's or the opens.

Some of the pro's made a big deal about a woman in the Classic and wonder if they need some cheese for that whine. I mean pleaaaaaase, was she really such a big threat to these ego freaks? I like'd Hackney's comment when he said he felt sorry for her fishing with all these wolves, he said heck I'm scared of these wolves, lol.
Anyway I thought to big a deal was made out of it, leave her alone, I mean you gotta make the cut anyway. Some of these pro's really need to get over theirselves. Also I wish somebody would teach Iconelli how to handle a fish. If you hold one straight out by the bottom jaw all the time you will break the bones and cause the fish much harm and possible kill it. Why don't they mention this to this INDIVIDUAL. It's hard for me to watch these pr's anymore too much BS for me, plus ESPN is all about the hype and antics. This Hip Hop movement has passed this old fart by I guess, lol.

Yea Tim I know, they did kinda make a spot for her. But look at this way. She may have a very positive influence on getting young women and families in general invoved in fishing and the great outdoors. That alone is a good enough reason to have her in there especially if that was their goal. To me if I would have been fishing it and involved it would have been, so what good luck girlfirend and I hope you catch a bunch. She is a good ambassadeur for the sport especially aimed at families and women. More power to her, and it would have been awesome if she would have showed well and put some of them blowhards towards the rear of the pack. She's easy on the eye's to, not that that has anything to do with anything but I couldn't help but notice, lol.
Mark's showing his sensitive side today.
I also think alot of these pro's need to get over themselves. I think it will be very positive for women in fihsing.
LOL she is definitely easy on the eyes, but let's be honest here, she is no Tiffany Lakoski lol!Yea Tim I know, they did kinda make a spot for her. But look at this way.

I understand the impact her being there would have, but I think a lot of the guys were angry, because she was created a spot and some of their cohorts who do this for a living were not there due to the tougher procedure of qualifying.
In all honesty it is a whole lot easier to win if there are only 40 women on the WBT and they only fish four or five events. Here would be my proposal to BASS. Let the WBT angler of the year fish the Classic, but if she so chooses, then she must move to the Elite Series the following year.
Those are good points Tim, if you are going to compete with the big boys ya gotta walk the same path I'll admit that. And yes Tiffany is the BOMB, DANG IS SHE EVER!LOL she is definitely easy on the eyes, but let's be honest here, she is no Tiffany Lakoski lol!

i would have liked to see kim place alot higher than she did to prove a point that she can run with the big dogs.... i didnt like what a few of the pros said about her... i mean come on if u are the female toyota angler of the year then shoot yeah she should be able to fish... i think them old guys were just worried that she might beat them.... can u imagine what would have been said if she came out and won that thing......
I thought about this when I was watching the interviews the other day and I think it's simple. Play by the rules.
I know it bites but I would not like it one bit if I had toured the Elite series, payed the money, missed my family, played the game as it was layed out to me and missed the cut by one spot and then they allowed another series (that I couldn't fish) to send a fisherman it would piss me off. Just follow the rules.....
She is easy on the eyes.![]()
Yes he is lol...but I've heard some story's about his younger years boy's, the hair has a little more silver to it than red now. And good to see my little puddle jumper got some space on the front page with his pretty mug holdin that sissy fish lol...Chuck
Now that's funny right there I don't care who you are, lol. I had just bent over and it was 112 degrees in the shade that's why my doggone face was so red, plus it was a bad blood pressure day to, lol. That fish weighed 27lb and change and it looks like it's 75 in that pic, Chuck you sure are a good picture taker. I can't wait till I get that 60lb this year, and dang it it's gonna happen to if I have to jump overboard and do hand to hand with one of'em, lol.
And now when you get that 60#er I'll be able to upload it on here...My father in law showed me how.matter a fact check out my pic album on my profile, and I think you'll find a pic of you and a 60#er.....but it was mine lol...ChuckNow that's funny right there I don't care who you are, lol.
