So, Bassmaster fires thier Chief Editor...

[78Staff]

Brian Brasher, because of some online spat with Slick Johnson.

Brian then touts on facebooks video about he's going to do a 10 part series on all thats wrong with BASS, to start April 23rd. Things like FFS deals, BASS Owner threatening anglers, how they handle certain anglers stuff like that. Damaging stuff, apparently.

23rd comes and goes, no podcast. Of course, lawyers have gotten invovled, severance package is being threatened, lawsuits being threatened, etc.

Brian's ealier Facebook video announcing the 10 part tell-all gets deleted, but Slick saved it, for anyone wanting to see...

Suprised there is not any talk about, tbh.

I just got the boat back from the mechanic, motor serviced, boat is cleaned, organized and ready to roll. Dropping her in tomorrow to stretch her legs. Fishing season is here once again for me so all the drama about which pro angler is pissed off about whatever can f-off until next winter when I have nothing else to do other than work like a dog so I can afford to go fishing the following season again.

Wow. It’s going to get messy

Ruh-Roh.......

Man does anyone in this sport tell the truth and have a real backbone?

Is this the gober that did the slobber fest praising Scott Martin

Does this mean Slick Johnson is now the Most Powerful Podcaster in the World of Professional Bass Fishing?

Shedur Sanders isn’t the only one that has taken a Nose Dive as B.A.S.S. has slid from being declared near perfect on the BBC while being promoted as the only Pro Tour needed.

The Financial Reality of running a Professional Fishing Organization is continually emerging from its Illusion.

Ray did good financially by selling it to Helen and partners then they scored big selling it to ESPN who grossly overpaid then had a fire sale then passing it around.

Bass is the new MLF. MLF seems to have righted the ship a little. Bass just seems to have jumped off a cliff.

yes.. I think that has more to do with the firing than getting into some online debate with a guy that’s known for stirring the pot with rumors that has a good chance of being fake news. Slick sure thinks very highly of himself to be involved in so much drama with BASS.

but if BASS did lawyer up, that leads me to believe Brashers tell all series is more rooted in fact than fiction.

Hmm, could be. That article certainly didn't age well lol.

Oddly, there is no byline credit on that story now. Seems unusual, but since firing Bryan they've apparently scrubbed him from the website completely, so I supsect it was. The 10 year timeline of working at Bassmaster mentioned in the article also lines up, as Bryan started at Bassmaster in 2014.

Then he deserves to be fired.

[cg2fish]

Bass is done. They are the laughing stock of fishing.

Wonder what Ken Duke will say?

Does anyone tell the truth anywhere anymore? Very few and very sad.

Good Question

[juice780]

Who exactly is slick Johnson and where does he get all his info

[Jocephus]

I’m pretty sure my ex wife did the same pity party thing on tick tock when I left her.

[borderbasser]

Whether or not he signed an NDA, those lawyers were going to get on him

[WarEagle24]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, like him or not Ol' Slick is usually spot on with his information.
