B.A.S.S. sticks it to the kids-Bigtime

[Bass Hole]

So now bass is going to have the JWC at an elite series tournament we'll at least thy get to fish with a pro.

still not the classic kind of like putting a band aid on a bullet wound.

just like thy did two years ago with the adults. there just trying to make themselves look a little better.

Yea, .....nice touch,....REBOOK YOUR TICKETS AGAIN!!!!!

Honestly, I would tell this organization to pound sand by now.

Why is it ok to have changed it in the 1st place? If it were me, I would get a lawyer. Honestly,...I paid "X" amount of money to compete for a prize. A chance to fish with the pros at the classic. You took my money and then changed the prize at the end of the season. Does this not ring FRAUD with anyone else???

If not, I'm running a lottery,lol. Give me $5 for a chance at 200k. Warning: I work for BASS, the prize could change later, maybe a pack of hooks or something.You may think I'm way off base but I know the RI jrs had to change all their tickets. THAT cost them more money. NOW, they don'r need tickets at all because it's within driving distance. 2k wasted because you changed the prize in a competition I PAID to be in.

I would call my lawyer. >

Amen brother.

Absolutely sickening.  I can agree that after ESPN puchased the right to show the BASS programs and took it over, it has slid and slid downhill.

What a disgrace by ESPN.   >

Blame Disney if your gonna let it trickle up.    Its only fair you bad mouth the owners of ESPN and BASS.  

   When ya'll start talking boycotting of Disney, you might hit a nerve with the owners.

Just for the Record!

Some of you might have seen this on another board but it looks fitting to me.

The devil went down to Georgia, he was looking for a soul to steal. He was in a bind 'cos he was way behind: he was willin' to make a deal. When he came across this young man sawin' on a fippin stick and playin' it hot. And the devil jumped upon a hickory stump and said: "Boy let me tell you what: "I bet you didn't know it, but I'm a bass fisherman too. "And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you. "Now you flip a pretty good jig, boy, but give the devil his due: "I bet a shield of blue gold against your soul, 'cos I think I'm better than you." The boy said: "My name's scotty and it might be a sin, "But I'll take your bet, your gonna regret, 'cos I'm the BASS boss and the only one theres ever been."

scotty you warm up that Merc and run that motor hard. 'Cos hells broke loose in Georgia and the devil deals it hard. And if you win you get this shiny shield of blue and gold. But if you lose, the ESPN gets your soul.

The devil opened up his locker and he said: "I'll start this show." And fire flew from his fingertips as he loaded up his rod. And he pulled the line across his thumb and it made an evil hiss. Then a crew of demons joined in and they loaded up the boat. When the devil finished, scotty said: "Well you're pretty good ol' son. "But if you'll sit down in that chair, right there, and let me show you how its done."

Fire on the mount, run boys, run. The devil's in the house of the risin' sun. Mickey in the in the piggy bank, pickin' out cash. "Daffy, does your dog bite?" "No, child, no."

Scotty bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat. He laid that golden sheild on the ground at devils feet. the devil said: "scotty just come on back if you ever want to try again. "I told you once, you son of a gun, your owned by ESPN."

And he played Fire on the mount, run boys, run. The devil's in the house of the risin' sun. Mickey in the in the piggy bank, pickin' out cash. "Daffy, does your dog bite?" "No, child, no."

Someone give me a clue?

They are still going to hold Casting Kids at the Classic, yet they moved the JWC?

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for anything kid oriented, but.......if we want to truely get kids fishing and shed more light on the sport of fishing, actually taking them fishing and mentoring them in that way is definatley the way to go IMHO. Sure, a casting competiton may spur interest but it is nothing like being outdoors and actually fishing.

Im with you 100% on this

[Bass Hole]

Maybe this is why thay did it.

But since the date has been changed and it is going on during summer VK could you pull it off? Worth trying to compete. Trust me, experience of a LIFETIME

Plus you are the first guy, and there have been so many changes, whats one more?
