Jack,

It was unfair of me to attack Luke Clausen, I did know he was FLW
champion, and he was doing what everyone else was doing, and did make
the classic based on achievements. So I was definitely wrong to attack
Luke Clausen and the whole Classic field when in reality my problem was
with B.A.S.S and what they have become.

Now, I have bed fished, and watched others bed fish, and personally I
get zero satisfaction out of it. Do I have 500k on the line, no I don't.

Jack, you have a lot of respect in this group, and a lot of respect in
the industry, as well as a ton of experience , so who am I to argue. I
have fished 30 or so tournaments in my life, I have a boat, I have have
fished in 30 below zero, I have fished in 105 degrees. All of these
things I have done were originally for one reason, I wanted to be the
best, and somehow put myself in position to prove it, but all I see is
that world going a different direction, and makes me very angry.

Again , just my opinions

Chris,
I'm not sure why you don't think that Luke is a great angler. He
was the 2004 FLW Tour Championship Champion and the 2006 BASS Master
Classic Champion........I'd love to be able to say this.......so would
Gary Klein (who has never won a classic in 24 appearances).
As for the bed fishing, ever try it? It is a casualty of our sport
and is tougher than you'd think, especially when they weren't bed
fishing.......
