He’s a steady Eddie.Like the old saying goes. Out with the old and in with the new. Enjoyed watching him for years.
Get to fish against him out at our local TTZ Tuesday nighters on Lake Travis here in Texas and he IS an awesome man. Look forward to having him whip up on us more now that he has more time to be home….. God bless and enjoy this new chapter!
I knew about Clark when he was winning AOY but little else lately. I know nothing about the e-mail.
Gonna miss Sir Wendlandt
I wonder which MLF Angler bought out his Spot?
Clark is awesome.
Clark is a local hero here in the CenTex Lake Travis area. He's a genuine legend and had a great run better than most.
I for one had the chance to meet him in Eufaula, Alabama when he was part of the FLW talked with him only for a few minutes but felt that he was so genuine. Will miss seeing him on tv. I wish him well on his future endeavors and to enjoy those grand babies.
Clark came back after a cardiac issue too.
Pretty soon all the greatest will be retired from the best Era in bass fishing the young guns are good but definitely have big shoes to fill. Happy times in your retirement enjoyed watching you fish.
Think this is the beginning of the end. Bass dont give 2 s#### about the old school anglers. Actions speak loader than words BASS talks alot with some of the worst actions. They need to clean house over there and start with a whole set of people running it. I don't care if I ever watch it again. So fed up with that organization.
Clark is a true professional and a great man. Enjoy your retirement you deserve it.
90 % of the new comers are not half of the angler or the man Clark is ! Wish you the best Clark and thanks for all you have done ! Tight lines !
A real Class act and gentleman. Congrats on your retirement.
I fished only one Red Man tournament back in the ‘80’s as a co-angler. The boaters boat broke down on the take off to start the tournament. We didn’t place but Clark Wendlant won the tournament that day.
Thanks for sharing, Steve 👍.
Clark is one of the best to ever do it. A complete class act. We will miss him. I was hoping he would jump over to NPFL.
I remeber being a little kid watching his show fishing hunting texas. He was a great angler for sure
Clark was great, thanks #1 DAD, Take care buddy , Hey, did Matt Robinson quit BASS?
Clark was great, thanks #1 DAD, Take care buddy
Clark is a standup guy and exceptional angler. He's one of those guys who gave more than he took from the sport.
Congratulations to a class anglers on your retirement
Totally agree; very underrated angler and a future HOFer
4 time AOY in the big 2 means more than a win in my book!
Clark is absolute CLASS ACT!!!
It's hard to believe he would give up spending 3k per event in expenses to win those $500 checks.
He's a great dude. Met him many times. This new format does not fit his fishing style. We'll find him fishing somewhere… and we'll be routing for him. Might want to keep this show structure fresh.. I believe there will be 10/12 other anglers behind him.
awesome guy great angler….wish you the best
One of the good guys!
WOW! Super great guy! I wonder if the timing was accelerated as a result of FFS and his email. Of course Clark isn't the youngest guy on the tour and I am sure maybe getting out of the rat race of bass fishing national tournaments and spending more time with his family played a big part. I don't think I ever heard anyone say anything negative about Clark until his email, and then most of those comments seemed uninformed.
Clark you are a good person and a great fisherman
Think we are going to see a lot of guys start existing out of BASS. When is there emergency meeting again? I dont blame Clark for getting out of that s* hole organization.
Congratulations 🎊 Clark on a great career. Enjoy your retirement and your time with your family.
Absolutely agree with you. He is definitely a class act. One of the best. I hope he enjoys his retirement. ❤ THANKS CLARK 😊
Thanks Steve. Sounds like a good angler, and an even better person.
He definitely got to live the life! Big props to him. Winning AOY is tough.
Clark was always an amazing ambassador to the sport. I don’t recall a time where he was involved any type of controversy or negative issue with other anglers. His retirement really doesn’t come as a surprise. As you mentioned before Steve, the email was very clear black-and-white. he was not a fan of forward facing sonar, nor was he a fan of where the elite league is headed.
Though he will be missed, I’m sure there will be others that follow suit. The new direction that the elites are currently on, is not favored by many of the traditionallist anglers.
I wish Clark well and hope he enjoys his retirement
