Wasn't Robby Rose supposed to be a hot new semi-pro? That bust was pretty big. He is the all time money winner on Bass Champs I think he won over 10 boats

I wouldn't by any stretch call Zell Rowland a bust, he made a lifelong career out of bass fishing and was one of the best topwater fisherman of all time. That was just his FLW stats, he fished BASS for many years also.

From a tournament record standpoint this would be in the conversation. 35 Bass Opens without a top 30 finish. $750 career winnings. Still has a goal of qualifying for the Elites.
However from running it as a business has done pretty well. Seems to be making a living off it.
Just depends on how you define bust. There have been a number that get in the Elites and in two years have done little.

Wasn't Robby Rose supposed to be a hot new semi-pro? That bust was pretty big. Yeah, but it all comes down to money. If he had more money he could have cheated better. I heard he's coming back as SNOBBY NOSE. Gotta disguise and this time he ain't divulging any secrets of flickering shad spawns like in the past. That's what got him busted.... How did that get him busted? I didn't hear that part of the story.

Scroggins. I would also agree with Swindle until he actually wins an event at the tour level, Palaniuk already has multiple wins and only been there a fraction of the time.

What Palaniuk has done in his short career is very special. Being from Idaho makes it remarkable. He will be a legend some day.

Cant believe people are posting Swindle. Would think its a hell of a lot harder to win 2 AOY titles than to win 1 tournament.
Perhaps not dominant, but consistant.
He was a little lucky on the 2nd one, but still.
2 1/2 million career earnings, hardly a bust.

Gerald Swindle fits into the category of "Best angler that hasn't won a tour level event"
There is no doubt he is an incredible angler and also one of my favorites. He'll achieve legend status if he can snag a classic victory before he hangs em up.
