Kevin Wirth?

What's going on with WIrth? Yesterday on the classic stage he was on stage saying he didn't want it to be his last day fishing. And today one of the BM anylist said it was his last classic.

Is he retiring or ill or what?

I noticed he doesn't have any sponsors on his jersey and his boat isn't wrapped. I can't believe an angler as accomplished as he wouldn't have sponsor offers.

I read somewhere earlier that he is indeed retiring.

Yes, Kevin is indeed retiring. This is his last tournament. I spoke with he and his wife Lisa and he has bought a sushi restaurant plus some land and some horses (he's a former jockey). He said he's looking forward to staying at home and not traveling so much, but he'll miss the tour.

Sounded like in another article I read he wasn't to happy with B.A.S.S and how they were running things and was kinda tired of putting up with em. I hope his new business's pan out for him.
