A Joke!

This Classic was a joke. They said B.A.S.S hit a home run by moving
this tournament to the spring???? Are you kidding me??? How much skill
does it take to sit on top of fish and rip them off their beds?????
Luke Clausen a great Angler?? Yeah right, he is about as great as Dean
Rojas.

Rich made a comment about dying fish in the live well, what about
Spawning fish on their beds. Even the new Bassmaster magazine promotes
it. I grew up respecting the resource more than anything else, and
ripping fish off their beds cannot be good for the fish. Our state
closes the season during the spawn (at least they try, weather doesn't
always cooperate.) I can't believe nobody is commenting on that. Can
you call a bed ripper the best bass angler??? I have had people show me
how they are able to "snag" them off their bed if they don't bite.

The summer is the toughest time, why not keep it there and put they
anglers to the test, not make it anybodies game! I guess it doesn't
matter, people hate Ike, and that is the most important ........ whatever.

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.
