Water is big time rough around the dam and the flow is fast! Zaldain, Swindle, Hackney, Palanik and couple other good personalities are getting a fair amount of camera time at moment and they’re catching them already!

The LIVE coverage should highlight the good turnout of fans BASS brings out to each of their tournaments, particularly on the weekends.

For those on the run, they can load the “Fox Sports” app and still catch the coverage. I didn’t know they had an app and just loaded it. It works flawlessly.

Good job promoting the sport, April!!!

App only let me play 5 minutes before it make you sign in with cable provider I don't have FS1. Is John Cox there or did he leave?

I think he fished the National Professional Fishing League last week, maybe he took a week off?

Different John Cox on the NPFL, no relation

Really? There are 2 Cox?

He’s listed on Basstrack... but he amongst a number of others have no entries. It looks like he has chosen to fish the Elite tournament. Check and see if he is at the weigh-in.

John.Cox is definitely fishing this one...he is on the board with a catch.

There were six 20+ lbs bags on the first day, which is impressive considering the waters rough conditions. Theoretically, Cox could still make the BPT event if by chance he is placed in group B and then doesn’t make the first cut in the BASS event. If he makes the cut then he will certainly fish through Monday at Pickwick and collect a minimal check, and by then pretty much be out of any chance of making the cut at the BPT event.

This is kind of what it’s all about... sponsorship gold!

Sponsorship gold is ratings and viewers. Not a couple dozen people hanging around weigh in

Your peers?

I am no marketing major, the crowds are nice to see, but I imagine they play a very small role in marketing value to businesses. But its nice to see, hope everyone had a good time.
