Yep nobody came close to Ish.
Mercer made it sound like the guys were really catching them and the weights would be huge. Other than 2 guys I wasn't impressed.

Elite Series St. Johns River Day 1
Well it looks like we'll be able to watch the weigh in and see some photo's on Day 1. No Live Blog, No Basstrak, and No War Room.
I see Bass Zone doesn't go Wide Open today until 1PM, so I won't be able to catch that. Should have got up earlier!

My Thoughts On Six Idea's
BassFan Editor-In-Chief Jon Storm wrote an Op-Ed entitled "Upon the Cliff" where he threw out 6 ideas that he would like to see implemented by the new management at BASS and FLW.
Here are the 6 ideas and my thoughts.
1. The sport needs a unifying championship to survive. Period.
I guess a unifying championship would be OK, but I don't think it's something that is vital. Also I wonder exactly what Storm has in mind as there is a lot of different ways you can go with this. It isn't clear to me what a unifying championship would look like.
2. The sport needs a joint conservation, youth and legislative body to take on the antis and polluters. We must ensure there are players and a playing field for the sport in the future.
I view this one as another nice, but not necessary. It is not clear to me that having one big centralized initiative is better than having a diverse coalition of smaller initiatives of varying sizes.
3. Tours should be exclusive, not inclusive. Billy Joe shouldn't get to fish against Kevin VanDam, Skeet Reese or Brent Ehrler just because he's got a trust fund or a gas well in his backyard. Make it tough to get on a tour and demand a multiyear performance level to stay there.
On this one I think there are Pro's and Con's for both approaches. Obviously the Elite Series is more exclusive and the FLW Tour is more inclusive. I think there is room for both models.
4. The sport needs to ditch its focus on 1st-place payout and balance the payout down the field. Once you pay your dues to reach a tour, it should be a profitable or break-even venture to stay there. And fans simply don't care how much a pro athlete wins at an event.
I tend to agree with this point as I think it's something that will make the sport more sustainable for those trying to live the dream.
5. Outlaw made-for-TV events and formats, like the BASS post-season or the FLW Tour cut to the Top 5.
Obviously there are serious flaws with the BASS post-season that need to be addressed and scrapping the thing wholesale might be the answer. As far as the FLW cut to 5, I'm not really sure why he singled this out. Cut to 5, Cut to 10, Cut to 12 whatever cutting the field down makes sense to me.
6. Distribute house money fairly. As BASS stabilizes, it should use sponsor money to cut entry fees first, boost purses second. Same for the FLW Tour. But also, performance should dictate who gets FLW sponsor-team deals, not who you know, what you look like or which boat you drive. And FLW team money should go to tour pros only, not co-anglers.
I was right with this one until he advocated cutting out the Co-Anglers. As I've made clear on many occasions, I believe Co-Anglers are good for the sport. I think it is a feature that bass fishing has an avenue open for fans to fish with the Pro's while in serious competition. I think Co-Anglers should have a shot at incentives and a piece of the pie. This kind of gets to one of the Cons about making the sport more exclusive. I think as you make professional bass fishing more exclusive you limit the overall outreach potential of the sport. Kevin Van Dam can only be in one place at a time. More people are on the radar screen when you have an army of Tami Curtis's, Chris Ricci's, Matt Peters and Ashley Rae's. I certainly think more can be done to promote Co-Anglers and to get Co-Anglers out promoting themselves and the sport.

My Suggestions To The New Owners Of BASS
I was reading BassFan's question and answer with Ray Scott about the new BASS ownership. Here is some of what Ray had to say:
What's something you'd first like to see the new BASS do?
What I'd like to see – I tried to do this with Helen (Sevier) but was never quite successful with her – is a dadgum BASS decal on the back of every bass angler's car in America. There was a time when you couldn't drive across town without seeing one. And to tell the truth, I haven't seen many lately.
I also want to see this ownership do what's right with conservation and the Federation (Nation) programs. That's what sets BASS apart from being just another fishing club. Those two things are the heart and soul of BASS, in my opinion.
Folks out there want and need to be a part of something bigger than just themselves. They want to be a part of an army, a movement, whatever you want to call it. I want to see them rebuild that sense. The members are begging for it. But we as BASS members have our work cut out for us.
This got me to thinking, what do I think BASS should do?
First on the list would be to go back to being B.A.S.S. (Bass Anglers Sportsmen Society) not BASS.
2ndly they should think about enhancing the grass roots by reforming, enhancing, and expanding qualification for the Bassmasters Classic through the Federation. For instance say if each State Federation can attain a certain goal of membership than that State's State Tournament Champion gets a spot in the Bassmasters Classic without having to win their region in the Federation Championship while keeping the regional and national formats the same so it's possible for State's to have double qualifiers.
In addition to that change, the Bassmasters Classic should change to a Pro with Co-Angler format and the Federations should strongly be encouraged to embrace some form of Co-Angler model. At the Classic itself they wouldn't have to weigh the Co-Anglers on the big stage with the Pro's. For all I care they could make the Classic for Co-Anglers a single day Pro/AM shared weight format where the Co's only get limited or no prize money, after all wouldn't getting to fish a day in the Classic with almost all expenses paid be prize enough?
Yes I may have jumped the shark with these ideas, but I think they would show BASS as an organization is serious about developing up from the grass roots, instead of from the more recent model which is more of the top down.
Update: Sometime soon I will share another idea: The Blogosphere for B.A.S.S.

BASS Tentatively Sold
Well the rumors were true that ESPN was looking to unload bass. I can't say that I am disappointed because I had grown disappoined with how ESPN was handling BASS. I think new ownership will probably be a good thing. Unfortunately the rumors about the BASS sale involving the Outdoor Channel seems to be false. ESPN will still air the Bassmasters TV Show.It sure sounds like the new ownership is getting into this as much for love and passion for the sport as they are in it for making money. Hopefully they will continue and enhance Fantasy Bass Fishing. It will also be interesting to see what they do with Bassmaster.com and the Insider.

Bassmaster Classic: The Dream That Never Was
During this past Bassmaster Classic week I heard several different fishermen from Federation anglers to Elite Series pro's express the notion that fishing in the Bassmaster Classic was a lifetime "dream come true." A couple of times I heard it said that fishing in the Bassmaster Classic is the dream of all tournament bass fisherman. I must be an odd case then, because I can't say that fishing in the Bassmaster Classic has ever been one of my aspirations.
Growing up my family had a cabin on Lake Sylvia/Twin (now East & West Sylvia) near Annandale in Wright County Minnesota, which is about an hour and a half NW of Minneapolis; The two lakes are prolific largemouth bass fisheries. I was taught to fish at a very early age by my Dad, Grandmother Maas, and my Mom. Dad was my main fishing tutor and while he liked to fish, he was not overly serious about the sport, more of a casual weekend warrior type. Dad was much more serious about cars and Ham radio. Our fishing boat was late 1960's 14 ft Alumacraft with bench seats and a 5.5 horse Johnson motor. We also had a pontoon boat we would use for fishing. However, most of my early fishing was done off of our or our neighbors docks.
Of my 3 brothers and me, I was basically the only one to be badly afflicted with the fishing bug. I have just always loved to fish and we were up at the cabin frequently in the summer, so I got to go fishing often and as I grew older my love for fishing just grew and grew. My first exposure to fishing outside my family came from TV shows by Virgil Ward, Roland Martin, and Bill Dance. My first exposure to the Bass Anglers Sportsman Society probably came from commercials while watching fishing shows, but I also distinctly remember looking at Bassmaster Magazine at the Barber Shop in Annandale when I was probably around 8 years old. I remember thinking B.A.S.S. was the coolest thing and I wanted to join, but my parents didn't pursue it for me. I don't know when I was first made aware of tournament bass fishing, but I don't think it was until I was a teenager that I ever heard about the Bassmaster Classic and the information I heard about it was pretty scant. When it came to fishing I was much more interested in learning how to catch fish than I was interested in hearing about tournaments.
It wasn't until I was out of college and in my early twenties that I gave much thought to tournament bass fishing. In the 90's Lake Minnetonka used to be the site of a prestigious bass tournament called the Don Shelby US Invitational that drew in some of the big names of B.A.S.S.. The "Shelby" had a $50,000 top prize, which was big for those days. I was just astonished by how big a sack of bass it took to do well in that tournament. Sylvia/Twin is a peanut factory where 3lb and up fish are rare, and these guys were bringing in sacks with close to or over a 4lb average per fish. Also for the first time in my life I had cable TV and so I could watch the Bassmasters TV Show and I think I joined B.A.S.S. in 1993. In 1995 I went to see my first weigh-in ever at the Bassmaster Top 100 that was held on Lake Minnetonka.
I did not fish in my first bass tournament until 2 years later in 1997 when I was 27 years old; That summer I fished as a non-boater in 2 Military Bass Angler (now ABA) tournaments at Clearwater Lake in Wright County. I got skunked in my first tournament but did manage to catch a couple of fish on my second try. Looking back at it now, I had very little clue as to what I was getting myself into when I fished those tournaments. But despite the poor results I did enjoy myself and wasn't all that discouraged. In 1998 I joined The Fishers of Men Fishing Club (Twin Cities) which is just a fishing club, not a bass fishing club. It was not until I was 31 when I started fishing bass tournaments with any seriousness.
I think because I wasn't brought up with it and didn't start tournament fishing until well into adulthood is probably why the Bassmasters Classic for me is the dream that never was.

Elite Series Wheeler Day 1
I have other stuff going on today so I will miss the weigh-in and BassZone Wide Open for the day.
It looks like they attempted to get Basstrakk running for this one. It doesn't appear to be working for them, I can't get it anyway. No Bass Cast either.
Another Live option for the day without ESPN 360 is Hooked UP! The are scheduled for 11am, 1pm, 3pm Central Time. It's just after 1pm now and I think I might have missed it. There was streaming of an Elite Evan Williams banner and then that went dead. Must be quick updates, if you blink you miss em. I wonder if doing a live stream is expensive? I wouldn't think so with the stuff they had on livestream at the Classic. I don't want to rip ESPN/BASS to bad, but they are over promising and under delivering yet again.
I don't understand why they don't have a live blog going on at every event like they do at the Classic. At least they should have the blog until they get their act together with Basstrakk and BassCast.
If Hooked Up! is only on for a minute or two or you miss it is messed up.
Also as of right now (1:25pm Central) the Liveleaderboard link is broken. I wonder if they will have that fixed???

Elite Series Battle on the Border Amistad Day 1
Shortly I will be over at the Bassmaster site to see what's up.
Well it appears nothing is up. Lake Amistad must be sufficiently remote to cause issues with the Basstrak and BassCast live on the water features. If you don't know Basstrak is an electronic system where every observer/marshal in the Elite Series boats will send in weights for the fish caught during the day, which should result in there being an unofficial scoreboard during the day. It's something to keep your attention during the tournament day. It appears there isn't going to be any BassTrak for Amistad at least not on Day 1.
BassCast is a webcam live feed from a couple of the Elite Series boats. Not working either.
Also, it looks like there won't be any streaming audio of the weigh in so those of us without ESPN 360 are out of luck. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Although this doesn't matter so much for Amistad, because I will be paying attention to FLW weigh in which I think runs concurrently with the BASS weigh in. Hopefully BASS will ad an audio feed for the next Elite Series event.
Update: It looks like the Live Leaderboard didn't work today. Looks like the first hint I am gonna get about the BASS action is on tonights BassZone Wide Open at 7PM. Looks like I will be recording survivor.

ESPN Bassmaster Classic Day 2 Coverage
This morning I read several complaints on message boards about ESPN's Day 1 Classic coverage. They said it was mostly commentary and background story's with very little on the water video of the anglers. I did not wake up to see the Day 1 ESPN Recap, so I can't judge that. There was quite a bit of commentary on the Day 2 review show and they definitely could have used more on the water footage, but I wonder if that is necessarily totally ESPN's fault. I don't know that the anglers give the editors a whole lot to work with. People can say what they want about Iaconelli but at least he knows a little bit about mugging for the camera and giving the video editors something to work with. The most compelling video clip was of Boyd Duckett breaking off a fish and then going on a calm mini-rant about what it feels like to loose a fish in that situation. When the guys are catching a fish on camera for the most part it is all business then they seem to get right back to fishing quickly many times without acknowledging the camera very much if at all. I understand this is a bass tournament and you are judged by the fish you catch, but it is also important that Professional Anglers provide some entertainment and educational value to their target audience. I think if the anglers were better at this aspect of the game than there would be more on the water footage and less fill in commentary. I think it would be in the best interest of ESPN to work with the anglers and train them in the art of making good TV.
I am all for women anglers but I found a Toyota add focusing on women to be a bit over the top in some of the things the lady anglers said. Then there was the little controversy segment where Bernie Schultz flat out stated that he didn't think Kim Bain should be there. None of the other anglers were as demeaning in their comments even if some were less than totally enthusiastic about Kim's presence. I think Bernie looked like an idiot and his sponsors should take him to the wood shed. I have no problem with Professional Women Anglers getting a seat at the table at the Classic. In fact I think this development has taken about 20 years longer than it should have. The old BassNGals circuit and B.A.S.S. had a mutual interest in promoting bass fishing among women, but they didn't do much if anything about it. Having a spot for the BassNGals Champion in the Bassmasters Classic would have been a smart move for BASS to make but apparently nobody was that smart or visionary. I don't know why it took BASS so long to recognise the women bass angler niche, when BassNGals went defunct in 1998 they had over 33,000 members which seems to me to be a pretty good sized drop in the bucket. It could very well be that all of those 33,000 BassNgal members were also B.A.S.S. members. I obviously wholeheartedly think visibility of women in tournament bass fishing is good for the sport.
