B.A.S.S. will go on with or without him for sure, and I think there is a mix between some b.s. going on and the fact that these guys don’t want to learn FFS, and that’s fine. Matt will probably be better off where they don’t allow it and if B.A.S.S. continues to allow it they will have plenty of guys coming up that will want his spot. None of this will change until guys speak out. They say they are afraid of BASS and maybe so or is it that they all could flunk a lie detector test at some point? I don’t know the answer but it needs to get resolved.
We're heading into the payouts being administered no sooner than 30 days after the event so B.A.S.S. can sort out all theBS. Let these guys get all the info in any way. They oftentimes fish right on top of each other anyway.
GETFISHED !!!
Uh oh! I see heads exploding!

Bass going the 2009-2010 nascar route, it looks like.
i just want to be able to turn on the garage TV on a Saturday morning in February and watch guys fishing great looking water. Don’t screw up my Saturdays, BASS!
The Elite rule book says automatic DQ.Originally Posted by Mark Perry
The Opens rule book does not mandate a automatic DQ.
My take is the anglers were pretty outspoken as a very large majority in that they want a strict no-info rule in place. We as specatators question it's enforce-ability, but that is irregardless. The competitors want it. And they want it for the exact circumstance that seems to have just happened, an angler received info with the exact type of information they dont want shared against them (the rest of the field). I don't know much about and never really followed Matt's pro career, but it seems to me like a consummate pro would know the rules and wouldn't engage in a conversation about his practice with a non-competitor, regardless of who that person is.
I am surprised he is not appealing the decision and just quitting instead. Maybe there is more to the story. His video he posted today made it sound like he has been looking for an excuse to leave anyways. The BBC crew will figure it all out and fill us in.
Just an observation that typically holds true....Nothing says "there is more to the story" then not appealing and quitting. Did someone pull the trails on the graphs (prior to or immediately after the poly) and verify he did not go to that creek? I am sure we will never know the truth to that. But nothing clears your name on using information in regards to an area quicker then an unaltered GPS trail.
You mean like Avena did then Poche just cried and whined and never showed any proof of what he was talking about. Then tried to double down and apologize but “standing for what’s right.” Seems to me like the pro tours are more like a daycare than a professional event. Really is sad how organizations handle thingsJust an observation that typically holds true....Nothing says "there is more to the story" then not appealing and quitting.

i had the same thought driving in to work this morning while listening to BTL. Very well could have been the difference between the Opens angler getting a 4k penalty and Herren being DQ’d. but we don’t know and it shouldn’t be taken as fact thoughJust an observation that typically holds true....Nothing says "there is more to the story" then not appealing and quitting.

Or maybe he is just tired of the BS. As stated multiple times already there were several infractions that were not penalized, some repeat offenders.Just an observation that typically holds true....Nothing says "there is more to the story" then not appealing and quitting.

Herren has been outspoken, just like Watson. The new kids running BASS probably want 0 push back from anyone, especially the older guys. They obviously have their favorites and Matt isn't one of them.
What a complete chit show!
Pretty comical however that one young poster boy for the BASS brand seems to always find himself in these conversations. And his age or rookie year should/do no longer apply.
That should say something!

That poster boy got DQ’ed for taking time info from his mom which cost him AOY. He then owned it and kept fishing.

My neighbor reported me to the HOA for keeping a crappie in our hood when we weren't supposed to. Got my key fob cut off for 2 days to the pool.

I just want to hear about Ike now.
How ironic! Checkout Ike Live on Facebook. He has a recent post asking viewers about their opinion on Matt’s DQ for violating the no information rule!

Could this be a prelude from Ike to "guilty hen crows the loudest" ?

There's lots of decaffeinated brands that are just as tasty as the real thing.
Hi Mike.
Hey Jaredn how have you been?
We have sure enjoyed the cuisine at the place you recommended in Seguin, TX
