My observation from my perspective as someone who could care less about professional fishing. I see all of this alleged “drama” injected into the mix as purely staged to stir interest into something that perhaps was lagging … like when The Deadliest Catch first started, it was basically a documentary about crab fishermen. Now it’s a soap opera with crab fishing as a background … I mean how long can you milk that premise and keep the average no attention span American tuning in ???? …. DRAMA !!!! …. They’ve done it to the news, sports and pretty much all other forms of entertainment, why should fishing be any different ?? Someone is laughing all the way to the bank.

Sounds like he apologized! Hang him!
he said he was sorry but then went on to blame Caleb for it all. laughable.

Irrelevant Bernie should chose wisely who he tries to bully. I doubt this situation would have ended the same if he tried his garbage with others like Livesay, Swindle, Herran and some others. DB move on his part!

I read the article and did t take it as Bernie whining as much as giving his side.
Sounds like he got an article on the Bass website to promote Ike's show. Pro's know Facebook, Podcasts and videos are the way to get attention. Wonder if sponsors are tracking how much screen time good or bad they are getting in these little dust ups.
Bernie is siting top 5 after day 1 and someone comes up to him and says hey I found fish in practice and saw you on the spot day 1. I got a early boat draw day 2 and I plan on fishing it...I really wonder what Bernie has to say. It sounds good that Bernie says Caleb should have said something but if Caleb really did say something Bernie never said how he would address the situation.

Good news is there is another Elite Event this week. Will the Drama continue??. Keith is posting on Facebook calling guys Cry Babies. Getting to be a contest to see who can get the most coverage on Social Media.
Bernie was in the wrong. He can cry all he wants to via a letter to the editor, but Caleb has won a blue trophy, and Bernie never will.

If Bernie was not in the wrong then what is he apologizing for? I don't know anything about Caleb, could have been anyone really, but I promise you, if it went down the way Bernie says, he would have been far more upset and there would be no apology.
