Seems to be a bit of technical difficulties at least at the start of today's broadcast.

Specifically the audio is jacked up.

Sounds like some of my video handy work.

Hope they fix it.

Sort of cringy to listen to.

Definitely sounded like outer space 🤣

Watching on FS1 right now. It’s raining here so what else is there to do other than watch this. Gee with a nice one! 

[F14A-B]

Gee is embarrassing to watch trying to fizz these Smallmouths.. Sheesh. It will be sad if he kills a fish or two over this .

Crazy how so many rookies are doing so incredible was just thinking about that. Any thoughts on how all the rookies to the tour are surpassing the established anglers? So weird. I’ve looked back at the history of bass and it was never like this. Curious what you all think.

Only took 4 days to forget who won at Champlain ? 😂

Those waves in the area Cory Johnston is fishing are something else. 😳

[F14A-B]

Trey has lost 4 fish already. Wonder why? 

[12poundbass]

Was anyone else hoping a wave would come up and take Trey’s flip flop when he had his leg over the side while fighting the fish? 😈

[F14A-B]

Gee just reports he has a dying fish…

hmm, wonder why? 😉

He already did several days ago claiming over half fish caught will die

My money says that if Randy was somehow given an exemption and could fish with the Elites, he'd shut up and be doing the same things that everyone else is.

JT Thompkins failed his polygraph and was DQ'd. Crazy. 

I'm proud of B.A.S.S. for publicly announcing this and not trying to sweep it under the rug like that other league.

Well he’s just released his latest video about honor and integrity concerning the elite series aforementioned issue (earlier in this thread) someone called him out on when HE broke the rules years ago lmao. The dude is one way 💩starter I swear.. he couldn’t even do a brief about RC. I hope the elite series puts torpedoes and depth charges on the boats next year 🤣

I'm not a fan of the Johnston brothers but man you got to respect what Cory is doing.  He's gotta work the bait,  watch the screen which I'm sure is moving as much as the boat is,  and detect the strike.  All while not falling out of the boat or getting sea sick.  I'm impressed.

Crazy thing is, Rick Clunn used to be his mentor and close friend. Noticed that Randy doesn't seem to mention Rick much anymore.

Randy has a lot of supporters that are older and don't use FFS but to keep their sponsors and not lose fans they keep quiet and don't associate so much with people like Randy.

The way thw Johnston brothers operate BASS may as well set up "teams" like NASCAR has....

[bowhunter63]

With Rick leaving we are coming to an end of era for sure.  I got to meet him  a few times at Bass Pro shop. Great ambassador to our sport. Gonna be missed

That is the truth! I mean they DQ one guy for a waypoint issue but you d**n well know those two share all the time.. I saw them down on Harris yelling at each other hey there’s a big fish over here etc etc. idk, maybe it’s just me, but it feels wrong. I can say there isn’t to many that seem to like those two. I’m one haha 

[scaleface]

As far as Randy goes , I unsubscribed , not because of his views on FFS but because of his constant lecturing. He thinks he has this insight on life that every one else lacks and feels the need to convey it . He has some good tips and a couple of them I use all the time now.

[GReb]

Maybe Randy has a point here 

[F14A-B]

Congratulations to Trey McKinney.

 

Rookie of the Year.

I didn’t think about it until now, what’s more impressive are the camera guys in the boats! 😁

Congratulations to Chris Johnston

 

Angler of the Year

[F14A-B]

Once again there are no OG guys in the top 10..that is rather disappointing to me. These guys have the opportunity to learn FFS, watching Gee and his screen, I’m not sure why it’s so hard to learn. Well, they can’t cry foul, they have the same tech..

I always see bits and pieces of his schpiel but have never subscribed to him. He doesn't seem to teach much in regards to anything innovative or new.
