Bass champs

Anybody fishing bass champs this year? If so what region?

never have fished it bedore but gonna try this year. Metro region

The north region?

North

North

East, May jack pot a couple others. Best trail out there ! IMO

Looking to fish at least a couple of the North. Gotta use my free entry's from buying Fords!

Was looking forward to fishing the north division this year, but my partner had some family commitments come up. So I guess I'll be saving money and practicing for 2016.

May jack pot?

You can fish individual, i am. Be my first year with bass champs though.

^^ this x2

I read that and was thinking you meant 2015.....dangit! Its already 2015! I'm a lil behind so far this year I guess..

North.

Fished the Sam Rayburn one though last week. Got smoked.

Plan on getting smoked in the North as well....

Handd me your money now or later?

I'll NEVER fish them.....I drove from East Tennessee to fish a tournament with my brother @ Lewisville......the director said I couldn't fish......no explanation......

I find that hard to believe

Well it says in the rules that they can deny entry to anyone without reason, but that's still kind wrong , they didn't say why? Are you on the do not let entry list? Been disqualified from a tournament before?

That makes zero sense. Did you prefish in off limits or not have your ducks in a row with a license? There are guys that fish them from out of state all the time. This is possibly the first negative I have ever read here in regards to Jeff and Chad and their TD abilities.

Your right, but I fish tournaments on.a private lake as well and there is a 15 quarantine in place to try and stop the zm from getting in the lake. The way the tournament schedules work out. I would miss 3 of the tournaments on my home lake, plus alot of time not fishing because the boat would be quarantined. I was going to fish champs out of my partners boat, so I could have fished both trails. No biggie though I'll just save 600 in entry fees

20,000$ guaranteed cash for first place each event, looks soooo good.

All you have to do is get first it's that easy

If it was that easy everyone would do it, a lot of good competition and good anglers

^^ Agreed those guys (Chad&Jeff) run a great show. More to this story maybe?

South Region and fishing both Falcon tournaments only....

Are you sure it was Bass Champs; Chad & Jeff are great guys and run a first class organization.
when did they hold a tournament on Lewisville,

I am fishing East, South & North,,,,,,,best lakes of each one.
Looking forward to Falcon next.
at least I do not have to pre-fish anymore........I spent way too much time on Sam Rayburn.

Fishing probabaly the May tournament on cedar creek

Central to get whipped here

Professional? Or no valid license? About the only reasons I can see in the rules that would exempt you.

North

North. First year with BC..

First year BC too, north, hope to see y'all out there, maybe meet as well.

to answer your questions....NO...I've NEVER been disqualified from any tournament..NO, I didn't pre-fish...I drove 18 hours to get to Lewisville in time to pre-register....I haven't fished Lewisville in nearly 10 years....YES...I'm sure it was BassChamps..I don't remember who was running this particular event...it was about 8 years ago..my brother and his wife fished their tournaments for a number of years....I was given NO explanation, what-so-ever.....I don't know if they thought I was some kind of "ringer" from East Tennessee...that's a laugh....I was totally disappointed and offended by their decision....You can believe me or not.....that's up to you....I hold no grudges towards them....I watch their programs every week.....but, I'll never attempt to fish their tournaments....

...makes me wonder if someone had a brother with a name that rhymed with Fobby Fose. If it was a Champs tourney, then Champs would have been running it.

Was you and his wife and your brother gonna fish together? ....wasn't there a guy while back that was cheating, sticking weights down the bass's throats and stringing bass to a tree and he got caught?

Yes, Robbie Rose cheated in Bass Champs tournaments but they could not catch him in action. He was finally caught at a Ray Hubbard tournament BLT and punished.

What a piece of [censored]

But he was a good Christian God fearing angler....

Also owned a foundation company; what does that tell you!

I hope someone ran into him alone in a parking lot after that

Someone did. A game warden. He got to wear some pretty shiny bracelets. Amen?

Even God fearing Christians get tempted by the Devil - and fail. It is the Christians who should give grace show grace - they understand what it is all about. We had a cheater in our club in the early 90s - he cost me some money - some better finishes also. He failed 3 polygraph tests - after a over 6 fish would have gave him the big bass pot. Made many of us sick - he just left never to be seen again !!! Remember God gives us all our own life - to do as we want. It is up to us to read his word and do the best we can to immolate Jesus. Jesus forgave us - he hung on a cross and bled out for us. I forgive these guys for cheaten - just won't ever fish with them again.

Whatever happened to him? I hope someone on jail ran into him alone in a jail cell

He still owns the foundation repair company. Prob cheating little old ladies out of thousands by chunking some concrete blocks under the houses

He probably has his fishing license back by now.

Didn't he win a [censored] load of money? And few boats? I wonder if they made him pay it back

Yes and no!

I would of sued him for every dime he had.

He won alot.... Dunno how much. Tens of thousands.
