I'm pretty sure half of them are from Texas too lol.

Can't wait for them to get started, and I hope every single one of them has a prosperous year and the time of their lives. A heck of a lot of good guys right there, and some of the greatest ambassadors of the sport.

Glad to see Clark Wendlant and Jay Yelas back.

I�ll be following Clent Davis
He had an incredible final day to win the Forrest Wood Cup

I think it�s a great line up with some great FLW anglers mixed in.
I�m pretty anxious to see how Lee does. Dude can catch them and I always back my Fork boys!

I think BASS Elites have a great line up for 2019!

who all are including as the Lake Fork boys?

Lee Livesay is the only Fork guide I see.

Hope to see some of the local Texas guys do well but as far as the entire field, most of the names are ...who???
Disappointing to see BASS "Elites"
Need to change name of the trail to something other than Elite

Hmmm, they should probably change the name to bassmaster top 75 or something like that, the elite are with MLF now.

Louisiana is well represented

I am familiar with almost every one of them, they're definitely elite. There are over 13 million people in the United States that target bass specifically. I have no idea how many fish tournaments of some kind or another but I bet half of that 13 million either do or have thought about giving it a try. About 300 anglers fishing BASS, FLW, and MLF combined. That's about as elite as you can get.

There�s one guy on there ever wins a club tourney of 15 boats but is a bass master elite. Lol makes no sense. Guess it�s who you know elites

It's their "brand"... They'll never give it up... Gets under too many skin... Sorta like "Americas Team"... Dan

Right on.

Pretty strong field really even if it doesn't have that "elite" flair to it, they will be worth watching and the cream will rise to the top as always. 2019 will be fun to watch.
