It doesn't matter, B.A.S.S is going to get the publicity they hoped for,
because of a big stringer, which is a joke in itself, but people who don't
understand seasons and fishing are only going to see the numbers and say
wow. But this is when the "big" fish are most vulnerable and "easiest" to
catch and what Luke Clausen did means nothing.

Luke did exactly what everyone else wished they could do, which is to do
better than all his competitors under conditions that were the same for all.
Give him his props, he performed at his best in the biggest event of the
year. Maybe they were easy to catch, but nobody else but him could bring in
56 pounds.

I'm not defending everything that ESPN/BASS does, but this is a business,
just like MLB, NBA, NFL, PGA and every other sport.
