Absolutely shocked that they are putting a camera in Scott Martin’s boat especially after how certain guys like Feider and Hackney felt about his DQ. Would rather see Milliken in one of those spots but oh well

Why are you shocked? They ran an entire over the top save face campaign for him/them.Originally Posted by Loll1121
I said it before, the best thing Scott could have done if it was truly an innocent mistake would be to post the video of him getting the info himself and said see here it is this is exactly what happened.
He hasn't done that, so the video must not be so innocent. I like Scott, and am a fan. Just saying....pretty obvious there is more to it than what he said.

i mean you’re right, I don’t know why I am but it’s wild that they are. And I like Scot. Hung out with him and his family last time we were in Okeechobee but just a strange decision. Also, when I think Texas and bass fishing, Scott isn’t at the top of my list. Would rather see John Garrett who’s leading AOY
How'd they feel about it? Guess I missed that.
They were both very critical. Hackney said the video was very damning and wish he didn’t see it. Said he’s been doing that stuff for 25 years. Watch the oh-fish-ally podcast. They were on the most recent episode and talk about it
Giving Scott a camera is a joke, but in the b league I'm not surprised. The real question is will we actually get to watch any of these guys fish?
agree. Hackney saw it and said it wasn’t a good look
Trey getting love and getting a camera day 1 again too. Got one day 1 last tournament too. Yes it ended up being a good decision.
Just figured they would spread the love a little to the other guys

he drives viewers so I get it but if you want even more up why would you not have Milliken. Texas tournament you have to know what people want to watch. Look at the viewers from the first two Texas tourneys last year. He was on camera multiple days and apparently records were broken.
as much hate as he gets, i wish Milliken had one.. got a feeling he might be on something
They can stop showing Trey McKinney anytime, I have no interest in watching him fish, at all... Lots of other anglers out there, but BASS keeps sucking his D**K...
honestly, it’s probably because they put one in his boat first day at Grand last year. Hopefully he does well and has one day 2
Does he though? He is talked about a lot on here, but usually for the wrong reasons. Yes he is a really good fisherman, but to my knowledge he doesn't have some big following. I think BASS is just really trying to push him on everyone and hope it sticks. Kinda like they did Zaldain after the split, but they backed off of that.

think they are really trying to cater to the younger viewer. Has to be a reason they keep putting him on. Some
kind Of data I would assume but who knows. I still wish they would just find a way to put starlink or whatever on everyone’s boat and you could go online and pay a small subscription to watch the angler you want.
I’m actually surprised BASS has allowed Parks and Zaldain to run a livestream
Your reaction is exactly why they want to put a camera in his boat. Controversy attracts a lot of viewers.
He hasn't done that, so the video must not be so innocent. I like Scott, and am a fan. Just saying....pretty obvious there is more to it thanScott has been big-time into the video side of bass fishing and self promotion. I agree with an alleged video only helping his case of "I blew it".
Slippery slope if you don't allow the anglers to promote themselves.

absolutely! I’m glad they are doing it just surprised. If you’re going to have the same guys every week starting so the a camera in their boat then you gotta let others guys be able to promote themselves and their sponsors. Now I get it, the argument is “fish better and get in the top 6 and you can have one”. Easier said than done. I hope more guys follow suit because I would rather tune into that than Live
Having a camera in his boat attracts younger viewers and he has a good track record of not choking with a camera in his boat and they get plenty of traffic whenever he is mentioned from both fan boys and haters. It really doesn't surprise me they put a camera in his boat a lot.
