Since I don't fish tourneys; only have a BASS membership to get the
magazine; and don't belong to a local organization,...I guess I can be
objective. It sounds like, from my reading, that lots of folks are unhappy
with the ESPN/Bassmaster approach. The one thing that is incumbent on each
and every one ...is to be CERTAIN that your local federation officers, know,
in writing, of your feelings. They are going to have to make some decisions
soon, and some clear feedback from you NOW...would no doubt help them. RG

It's no secret that the top story in bass fishing is the problems between
BASS & the Federation, and now FLW is reaching out offering to pump
millions
of dollars in to the Federation. From where I sit the possibility of a
crossover is quite realistic. This morning I watched Basscenter & was
stunned to see a story about PETA instead of even a mention of the
Federation issues. I equate this to Sportcenter not reporting on the
Super
Bowl because thier team didn't win. If you're gonna report the news,
report
all the news.
