    Maybe the B.A.S.S. Organization wasn’t that great to begin with which is quite evident from the exodus of many of the Elites.

    The resulting anger, sense of abandonment and extreme Butthurt that created so much Vitriol that was directed at individuals involved with the new tour.

    Somehow this suddenly put B.A.S.S. on a pedestal of perfection for too long so any short comings were overlooked. Plus the Podcasters were getting clicks bashing the MLF while feeding that rage.


    No Professional BassFishing Tour is without problems and financial concerns that are always going to upset someone along the way.

    They informed the anglers on day 2 of practice.

    This definitely ain't your dad's Bass Anglers Sportsman Society anymore. The noise is getting pretty loud. Seems like BASS is over its anglers at this point. I guess the split probably drove this. They believe they are replaceable, no reason to say they're not after last 4-5 years, but bad PR don't help that very much. I guess we'll see. Clear there is a pretty big riff among the organization and some of it's anglers. I still struggle with those espousing that these guys are "employees". How many of you guys pay your employer to show up and foot all your own business expenses? Pretty evident why BASS tried to institute the "no entry fee" deal, they want more control over the noise and likely this was the way to clamp it down and CYA. I really do hope they get this ship righted, but honestly looking at it from the outside.. Looks like it's time for the Anderson Group to find a buyer.

    Lots of opinions being formed here off of some speculation from a 30 second tiktok video

    For all we know he said some horribly foul stuff and deserved to be fired. Or it could've been a non factor and BASS is overreacting. Or Slick could just be wrong and making stuff up / trolling

    BASS doesn't employ the anglers. The angler's sponsors employ the anglers. BASS provides a venue.

    That was posted by a straight up douche. Some of you guys are more wound up and full of bs than the women in here at work watching every move people make and then running to HR. A whole lot of you guys need to get laid.

    And a couple of the comments to B.A.S.S. on that post were brutal.
    "The man of system is apt to be very wise in his own conceit; and is often so enamored with the supposed beauty of his own ideal plan of government that he cannot suffer the smallest deviation from any part of it…He seems to imagine that he can arrange the different members of a great society with as much ease as the hand arranges the different pieces upon a chessboard.” Adam Smith, The Theory of Moral Sentiments

    Yessir the search for perfection in a Professional Bass Fishing Tour is futile they all have to deal with the same problems plus a demanding viewing audience that is never happy.

    Don’t think B.A.S.S. deserves all the negativity directed their way

    If you don't think BASS is holding a grudge, ask yourself why the last Sabine Elite winner doesn't have a live camera in the boat.
