Never had a problem with media but everything I've ever won including a media championship was ran by Gordon. All TD's definitely aren't the same. Actually it's the first I've ever heard of media having an issue and I've fished since early 2000's.

Man, that stinks. I've know Gordon a long time and have known him to be a stand up guy. I'm surprised he hasn't made it right. Is that who you spoke with? He'll need to take responsibility and get you your money, then he can deal with the rest of the situation.

Fished media for about 8 years with no issues
Hate to hear of issues with this TD
Glad all of them are not the same Biggest question I have is how does this happen, its cash in and checks out for the most part

Really surprised Media hasnt made this right.. thats not a lot of money compared to the amount of negative spot light this will bring to the organization.

I got to fish with Bart at LOP for the ABA. Super guy. Hope he and you Spyder get the money you are owed. Bad deal all around. The Parent organization needs to make this right before the damage cannot be repaired.

Hey Fellow TFFers. First I want to start off by saying that I've really struggled as to whether or not I should post this and make it public. The nature of this post is to inform and in no way is intended to be malicious. On June 23rd my partner and I put up one heck of a sack on Bob Sandlin (26.17 lbs) and won first place. We got a nice check and a pretty decent bump in AOY points. Much to our surprise, the check we deposited came back "account closed." Many attempts to reach the TD resulted in a few misleading texts in which an apology was offered and a promise to send a money order was made. We are now coming up on 2 months of not getting our money and have had to pursue other more official avenues by getting the DAs office involved. Before posting this I thought reaching out to the leadership of Media Bass was a good idea and that they might be inclined to make it right. Much to my surprise the response was something along the lines of, "we are sorry for your inconvenience and we are aware of the issue. Please continue to work with the TD to see if you can get your money". Not once was an offer made to make this right. After more investigation, the rumor mill says that there have been more than just our hot check issued. I always thought the fishing community was mostly comprised of "salt of the earth" people that stood behind their word. Needless to say, this fiasco has shaken my confidence in that. But hey... I got me one super expensive wooden plaque out of the deal.
Just wanted you all to be made aware that if you win, you might want to cash your check and make sure it clears the bank before buying more tackle you don't need. Contact the DA's office in the county the check was written in. Tell them there's more than one bounced check. They will take it seriously;)

And show them that Facebook post with the other hot check. That's definitely fraud. Over 3k now.
I can backlash toilet paper.
