Bassfishing375 Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 On Friday Cliff Pace sustained injuries when he fell out of his deer stand and he won't be competing in the Classic. Here is the article http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_123/classic-cliff-pace-12714.html I think it is really sad that this happen, Cliff seems like a good guy and it is terrible that he won't be competing. Lets all hope that he gets well soon. Quote

Super User ww2farmer Posted January 28, 2014 Super User Posted January 28, 2014 Better check the standings, maybe your the next one if they decide to fill his spot. LOL Quote
Super User WIGuide Posted January 28, 2014 Super User Posted January 28, 2014 At least they moved his automatic qualification (from winning in 2013) to the 2015 Classic. Quote
Super User Teal Posted January 28, 2014 Super User Posted January 28, 2014 That's horrible, on the bright side(if there is one) he will have plenty of time with his family and to sit back and do a lot of mental and gear preparation around the house until he can go fishing again. I'm glad they are letting him fish in the 2015 classic Quote
Champfishnva Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 he also tour his ACL he is gonna have a killer time standing all day on that boat now on Quote
jhoffman Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Double break and torn ACL and they think 10-12 weeks? He wont walk again for 9 months at best. I broke my tibia, had a plate installed at 23 and it took me 9 months to walk again. If hes back standing in a bass boat in a year for long periods, it will be a modern day miracle Quote
Super User Teal Posted January 28, 2014 Super User Posted January 28, 2014 They said 10 -12 weeks before he could PUT WEIGHT on it Quote

Give credit where credit is due. http://www.bassmaster.com/news/pace-miss-2014-classic Someone should edit the bass resource article and quote the original author. Quote
jhoffman Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 They said 10 -12 weeks before he could PUT WEIGHT on it Word it however you wish. He will have a brace from hip to toe. He will be able to put a little weight on that while in the brace but that knee bending after being locked up is gonna not be fun. It took six months just to make my knee bend one direction then another. Realistically, ill be surprised if he makes the 2015 classic as well. Im gonna go ahead and say he will not fish a single event in the regular season this year either. 1 Quote
CDMeyer Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Gotta feel bad for the guy that he cannot defend his title, but you gotta believe a guy like him will work extra hard to work hard to win another Quote
