    HUGE CHANGES TO FISHING INDUSTRY

    What the heck am I missing?

    For those of you out there who aren't industry insiders, or who haven't been dialing up the rumor mills, there is a huge white elephant in the room, the sport of professional bass fishing.
    Two things could happen soon, nothing at all in the 11 years I've been around the sport I've lost track of all the rumors of this or that, or, epic fundamental change could be coming to the game.
    Sides may be drawn, sides may not, lots of this and that back and forth could, COULD evolve, don't know.
    If it happens the only side I'm on is that of the FANS, is that of the HISTORY of the game. I'm with the serfs, not the kings.
    We'll see what happens, could be nothing, could be more.


    Jeremy Langer It’s going to be interesting to see what comes. I think, to a great degree, the lines have already been drawn in the sand. I’m not sure either side can back down at this point. From what I know and understand it’s going to be a tough, tough deal for either side to walk away from without trying to “save face.” I’m interested in the outcome only because of the change it will likely have on the fishing industry at large. There will be a very large shift in thought process from an entire generation of anglers, and I don’t think it’s understood on the whole at this point.

    In for the let down. I'm sure this is over hyped nothingness.

    I have no idea and have no way of figuring it out based on that.

    It's more believable if you say "I thought I heard somewhere"

    I just read db’s comments and am confused as everyone else.
