That said, Big O is wrong as usual. Those BPT guys that have CHOSEN to fish the FLW events do so because they can. Just like the Elite members that fish all of the invitationals. They do so because they are tournament fisherman and it is what they do. I know Elite guys that fish Thursday night jackpots when allowed. But when you're so angry your judgement is clouded, it's hard to see straight. Deep breaths Big O...... We had hoped your silence meant you had moved on.

Do you think Edwin will give his self a 2 minute penalty if his fish hits the carpet? Will they have enough time to put their evil livewells back in their boats?

hard to believe the Bassmaster Classic is bigger than Alabama vs Auburn in the State of Alabama.

Are you saying there are 500,000 professional BASS anglers?
Total BASS membership is 480,000 below that number, let alone there aren’t nearly that many pro anglers who fish BASS.
If you’re curious why a press release isn’t Fair and Balanced, you’re beyond help (if what you’re saying is even true, which you have yet to prove). Just in the interest of accuracy there are 500k BASS members. The number you saw must of been the BASS Nation Members, which is the local club level tournaments, of which there are 20k members. That said, Big O is wrong as usual. Those BPT guys that have CHOSEN to fish the FLW events do so because they can. Just like the Elite members that fish all of the invitationals. They do so because they are tournament fisherman and it is what they do. I know Elite guys that fish Thursday night jackpots when allowed. They only can because the MLF brass changed the rules and requirements and went directly against how the anglers voted, not once, but 2x... word is they were pressured to enter and participate doom and gloom threats if they didn’t. FLW anglers are being screwed once again, but after last season, they kind of get what they deserve for not learning their lesson.

Yes I am sure that someone that blast BPT every chance he gets receives accurate non 2nd hand hearsay info.

According to a press release, “The total Classic Week attendance of 122,814 was recorded at a variety of activities across Alabama, including the Bassmaster Classic Outdoors Expo in Birmingham, daily takeoffs on Lake Guntersville and the inaugural Huk Bassmaster B.A.S.S. Nation Kayak Series powered by TourneyX presented by Abu Garcia on Logan Martin Lake in Pell City.”
So over the course of the week Big O.
Talladega has packed in close to 175,000 in a day in years past.
Sorry to burden you with facts that don't support your narrative.

Its also important to note that this year's Classic happened right as things started closing down due to COVID-19. Several companies pulled out of the Classic Expo and lots of folks chose not to attend over the fear of the virus. Pretty impressive numbers in all of this mess.

Take your concerns about the facts up with the publisher of that write up. They made the statement the Bassmasters Classic event broke the records for Alabama, not I. I just shared the info I came across. And while I am sure Talladega has packed them in, they’ve never outdone Daytona and that event has never produced 175k... they even removed significant amounts of seats in grandstands as a result of not being able to put butts in all those seats.
