In a season filled with bass fishing drama, the 2024 Bassmaster Elites has taken the first spot with rumors, accusations and angler beef. However the storyline for the last stop on the Elite series had numerous problems and issues that made the St. Lawrence River Elite stop, one of, if not the most bass fishing angler drama to date. Let’s look at eight story lines that happened during the last 2024 Bassmaster Elite Series St. Lawrence River event and decide which one you will remember the most. From disqualifications, fisherman fights on and off the water, to retirements and Angler and Rookie of the Year trophies given out, what will you remember most?

For me, and this might be weird, but Zona leaving is my biggest story. I texted him saying "Thank you……" and he said "Gave them all I had …thank you man – much thanks. Miss ya bud. Karin and I are very very at peace with it which means it was time". Just pure class act. Should have put it in the video, but battery was dying….AGAIN. Cheers!!
They ban ffs they get rid of all the drama
Dude! They’re all big news.
Bass and MLF is sad. It’s not fishing anymore. No skills. I didn’t even watch any LIVE this year. Until they ban FFS it’s only going to get worse
It’s without a doubt Zona leaving for me. I had the great fortune of taking him, Tommy Sanders and James Overstreet around the California Delta during an Elite tournament years back and it was one of the most enjoyable couple of days I’ve ever had on the water. You said it, he’s as genuine as they come, what you see is the real deal. Gonna miss ya Z.
Clunn retirement
FFFS…FBD!!!!
Until they clean house with these guys fudging and operating in the gray need to be banned. Set the example now before it is all ruined. These so-called pros are not impressing me at all.
No, the Johnston Brothers are a team, and net work goes to show you can't do this alone.
I have more respect for the 80's 90's Bass fields not today's drama crap. If they don't get this set up like the PGA it's just going to get worse. People low on money but want to stay in the spotlight will sale there soul.
I know Pro who is fishing the Elites by invite, said if he falls out he is throwing in the towel because the 9 tournament qualification process is unrealistic and very expensive, but he qualified for next year.
So did Rookie Dube qualify for the 2025 Classic ? I know he didn’t do it from AOY points . Did he win an Open to qualify or something else?
I LOVE your channel. I was a cameraman filming Zona when he was on Loudmouth Bass and Bass Center back in the day when ESPN owned BASS. Gem of a human being.
Chris & Corey Johnstons are nothing but a low life pieces of shit. Always have been and always will be. I hope B.A.S.S. dq’s the one who made a threat to Robert Gee.
Who gives a shit if the played hockey. Both are pussies.
1 zonas leaving
2 clun retiriring
Who ever thinks 9 rookies making the classic is big you are smoking some stuff if it wasn’t for FFS MAIBE 1 would have made it, just my opinion .
JOHNSTONS SCREWING THE KID!
Clunn and Zona share the top storyline of the tournament and possibly the year.
The Canadians calling names acting like school kids an Mercer for involved with it however he is a Canadian fan boy cause he’s one maybe he will leave bass he’s not very good an very socially weird never liked hite he’s always been a smart Alec , clunn leaving is sad as well as Zona really love them 2 guys , an Gratz to all the rookies very big accomplishment within itself , an of course the good ole FFS stuff who cares let them fish. Love this channel as well looking forward to seeing more.
The river is mine start to finish everybody stay out unless I give you written permission I have the title deed end of story 😆😆😆😆😆😆😁😁
Given how 2024 turned out, all 8 topics are the standout to remember 2024 by. History was made, the good, the bad and the ugly😂
The video of Mercer laughing at the name calling from Johnston really looked bad! I lost a ton of respect for Mercer for that.
Zona leaving. Clunn retiring. Most of the big names in the sport are all on the MLF side. The talent they do have bicker and cheat like desperate housewives. Then you add in the FFS debates. I would love to be a fly on the wall in the BASS meetings. This feels like a BIG turning for the whole sport in general.
Does Randy still think FF tournaments are still boring?? I have had people jump on my winning spots,and I think R G burned out his fish all by himself, my interest is in the fact that he ran out & told his buddy to go park on top of a fisherman that was fighting for angler of the year, every single person got what they deserve,angler of the year, tournament win,rook of the year,& RG still searching for a win & his own spot 😅
The contrast of the classyist angler of all time retiring, vs the Johnstons shit show.
Ray Scott rolled over in his grave
The Robert Gee and Johnson was the biggest but I can’t leave out Zona leaving BASS who’s gonna replace him Gerald Swindle?
Zona announcing he was leaving was the biggest shocker. IMO
2nd all 9 rookies making the Classic. Best rookie class ever.
I disagree so much with polygraphs being the end all be all. They aren’t admissible in court for a reason. Johnston/Gee is definitely the biggest thing for me drama wise but news wise it’s Clunn’s retirement
I knew you'd have a video on this. All you talk about is drama lol. Working for those clicks!
