BoatSquirrel Posted September 12, 2019 Posted September 12, 2019 So 4 of 9 stops on the 2020 Elite series are reruns of the 2019 schedule-with one stop TBA. That is weak! And the classic at Guntersville with the weigh-in an hour and a half drive away? Is BASS trying to spin off another league again? 1 Quote
j bab Posted September 13, 2019 Posted September 13, 2019 So less than half are reruns, and the ones that are will be at places where they hammered em this year. And it's fairly common for the Classic weigh ins to be a drive. I don't see any issues In fact, all the elite series guys I know are pretty stoked about the schedule! Quote
Super User WRB Posted September 13, 2019 Super User Posted September 13, 2019 They get June 10th to July 22 off to travel and recoup, then fish the northern lakes. Does anyone really follow the B.A.S.S. Elites anymore or can name the top 10 without looking it up? It's not the Who's Who anymore, it's the who's that? Tom Quote
j bab Posted September 14, 2019 Posted September 14, 2019 They're undoubtedly in a weird transition right now as far as name recognition is concerned @WRB but give it some time. I think we have the next generation of stars in the making, they're still hammers even though we haven't heard of them yet, look at some of the weights from this year 1 Quote
billmac Posted September 14, 2019 Posted September 14, 2019 I think Rick Clunn is still an elite. Maybe it's time for Roland to come back! He still has a shot at a classic! 1 Quote

SWVABass Posted September 15, 2019 Posted September 15, 2019 Canterbury and the Johnston brothers are three that come to mind right away. They have had really good runs at titles this year. My summer has been busy so I missed a lot of live this year. Quote

moguy1973 Posted September 15, 2019 Posted September 15, 2019 When they have the Classic on Grand in Oklahoma the drive to Tulsa is about an hour and a half for weigh in. Quote

I don't follow FLW real close. I am not sure what division he is fishing but I have seen his name listed in the tournament standings on some of them. Quote
OCdockskipper Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 Roland Martin has also been fishing some of the BASS Opens, I am assuming he is trying to catch lightening in a bottle, win and get another shot at the Classic. He could fish the Elites if he wanted, he has the best resume out there for one of the 2 legends exemptions. I would guess the Elite series is too much of a grind for his old bones. 1 Quote
Super User WRB Posted September 18, 2019 Super User Posted September 18, 2019 Larry Nixon is satisfied with FLW and Hank Parker is too comfortable to get back on the pro schedule and then there is Roland Martin, he just likes to fish! It would be good for the sport to see the old pros compete against Rick Clunn but their time has passed. Tom Quote
Super User scaleface Posted September 25, 2019 Super User Posted September 25, 2019 I follow the BASS elites . I like the tournament format . I pay zero attention to that new circuit . Thats sort of like watching Mike Trout playing beer league softball . 2 Quote
