I just checked the B.A.S.S. Elite angler's roster, against the 2024 roster. The 2024 roster looks strong to me. Fritts and Nixon retired, can't blame them it's time to pass the torch. Truthfully, as much as I hate to say it as a fan, Rick Clunn needs to retire too. Brad Hallman and Micah Frazier have quit the tour. Looks to me that David Williams, Josh Stracner, Masayuki Matsushita, Skylar Hamilton, Josh Douglas and Gary Clouse are out due to performance. Seems about right to me.
Could not agree more. BASS leadership is the worst good ole boys network. BASS will be lucky to make it 3 more years
Wa Sup My Brother, great content and awareness, HAPPY THANKSGIVING 🦃
The CEO of bass said in an interview on The Bilge podcast that he wasn't concerned with MLF and he was concentrating on BASS. Having MLF in business is probably a benefit to BASS. They have a storage unit for top level anglers that aren't currently fishing the Elites. These big-name pros can stay relevant and keep their finances and sponsors happy while not at BASS and when they need them on the elites, they have them out there and somewhat available. plus, it's also a never-ending supply of big names to trickle into the opens over the coming years. Eventually, MLF will just be a steppingstone along the way to reach the elites. Bassmaster isn't going anywhere unless they make some poor decisions, MLF had one chance to bury them, and it was at the "split". it's over, MLF is the minor leagues. Just my opinion, of course.
Boyd is his own worst enemy and doesn't need help destroying MLF, he will do that on his own. Truthfully I don't think BASS wants MLF to go under even though that's what MLF tried to do to them. BASS has a lot more things to worry about than trying to carry 110-115 anglers on the Elites. Unfortunately the industry cant handle as many pros as there now and it needs to be narrowed down weeded out over time and not just cut out 35 anglers. As far as anglers being pissed off at MLF that is true and when the truth all comes out the whole world will see what's going on. Kinda crazy how Boyd pissed off enough anglers to leave that he doesn't get cut for 2024! Think about that! Boyd is out for Boyd! Boyd is 1 of the most classless anglers I"ve ever met! Look up what he did to Kelly Jordan In the Ultimate Match Fishing Championship! Classless!
I'm glad BASS has held it's course & hasn't opened up more legends exemptions.
IMO that would've been 'puny' on BASS's part . . . and sort of lowering themselves to the MLF / Duckett level.
I'm pretty 'neautral' on the whole 'Legend Exemption' thing as a 'fan' . . . but I could understand why some pros / prospective pros would be against it.
Especially if 'more' exemptions were made.
KVD is not coming back unfortunately.
Great points ! Yup bass missed a golden opportunity for sure !
Hahahaah! 😂😂😂 Good video. Great info but also very funny. BASS did kinda miss the boat, didn't they? Wonder if they'll take advantage next year when BPT makes their cut.
