    BASS And Brock Mosley....More Drama

    So you remember the rumor that an angler wasn't going to be allowed to fish Day 1 at Hartwell? We found out back then that that wasn't true, but I also found out back then said angler had to pay a $5,000 fine in order to be allowed to fish day 1.

    Come to find out that was Brock. Yes, this info comes from Slick Johnson. Say what you want about him, but his info is always right. Watch the video for the explanation, but basically Brock had some criticism of Davy, and Davy got pretty upset, said a bunch of things and according to slick even tried to get him removed from the Elites.

    What in the world is happening inside this organization? Its non stop drama and poor decisions these days.

    I don’t know, but I can’t imagine what he would say to Davy to get him that fired nor why? Maybe something to do with Davy being on the electronics committee, or whatever it was called?

    Either way, it seems B.A.S.S. really took some brash moves in the off-season via the new contracts/entry fee deal.

    When the fines start flying makes me think that maybe they are in financial trouble and doing everything to get solvent.

    So did Brock say something while live on TV? If so should be easy to find online.

    That’s the way I understand it. I’m surprised there’s not a link to it from Slick or someone else.

    Probably Pasquatank Day 1 - that's the only recent time I recall Brock having a camera in the boat. Would be nice to find out what the fuss is all about.

    The more I think about it, I can't imagine any angler making a specific derogatory comment against Davy or any of the crew on Live, so I wonder if it was something more generic. There was a comment made about anglers making long runs and not making it back, and Ronnie stepped in and had to say something like he doesn't hope they don't make it back or something to that effect... Not sure why that would be an issue, but who knows.


    Davy always seemed like a good guy in the past (afaik), kind of in that Zona space. But with Zona leaving, and Tommy probably retiring soon as well, I wonder if he's getting into a "Davy vs Ronnie" fight to be the future alpha of BASS... Whatever it is, it's not a good look for Davy recently, along with Herron's comments as well regarding the "sign the new deal in 4 days or you're out" referring to the original no entry fee fiasco.

    They all have to sign a contract saying they won't poor mouth BASS or it's employees. Strickly enforced and has been for several years.

    Seems normal for any organization.
    Kind of like biting the hand that feeds you.

    Sad to see the degradation of BASS is moving at such an exponential rate. Seems like 4 years ago BASS was drama free and back to its old self before the split, to now it’s even worse than MLF ever has been.

    the roles have flipped, MLF is the more stable tour.

    BASS as we knew it is dead.

    Brock shouldn't be a dick. He's not worthy to carry Davey's tackle box

    Be that as it may, I don’t buy the “don’t criticize the organization or any of its employees” dogma. No one or no thing is above criticism, and to me it’s a bad look to even try to enforce such a rule.

    Depends what he said.

    Start complaining inappropriately at most people’s jobs in the real world there’s a good chance you’ll get the boot.

    There seems to be a lot of people that do not understand this.
