Bud...... you are consistent and determined ....... I gotta hand it to you. I don't know what ol Boyd did to you, but it must have been bad.

Boyd rejected BOFool in some capacity, whether it was as a fisherman (highly doubtful) or in an office capacity (toilet bowl and ash tray cleaner). Of that, there can be no doubt.

Yep. Happy to see a Texas community getting a huge injection of revenue.

Texas will very likely shatter all records and deliver the biggest turnout for a Bassmaster Classic ever. The great fisheries of the state have been in the spotlight a lot recently, so there is a lot of interest by people even outside of the state, and making a trip to attend the Classic could be viewed as a dream fishing trip. The only drawback I can see is the June temperatures could be borderline brutal.

What was the BASS event that was held at Roberts and Frisco several years ago that was a big flop ?

I was literally in a truck taking every few rigs into the stadium for the final day weigh in of the Conroe Classic in 2017 and there were maybe 500 people there. Stop the foolishness. It was cool to see young Jordan Lee win the title though and then win it again the next year. Maybe he will win another this year!!!! Oh, wait............

It wasn’t a BASS event. It was the Toyota bass fest. I think that was the last year before they turned it over to BASS.

I doubt he is gainfully employed, but yes its nice to watch both!

MLF posted an article about viewership and you claimed it was manipulated data, cant the same be said for this?

I suppose anything is possible, but not sure why a municipality would manipulate the findings of their own studies and analyses from past events to justify spending their own money and resources again? In many cases BASS gets paid and receives other fee reductions such as licenses, etc.. to bring these events to a location. The municipalities crunching the numbers count on the events to draw big enough crowds to generate enough taxes to offset and recoup the costs those municipalities incurred while managing their end of it. I don’t see what benefit it would serve to those municipalities if the data from past showed it cost them money, instead of made them money or at least broke even and at same time benefited local businesses.

I mean, if it was a bust for them in the past, why make up statistics to hide that and then do it again?

Not sure why a government entity would manipulate numbers? Wow....you’re an even bigger idiot than I previously thought.

Big O? What do you do for BASS?

I never said that... but in this situation I fail to see what would be gained by it. It’s not like the local businesses that buy permits and license to operate at the event wouldn’t know from past events if what’s being said wasn’t somewhat accurate. Why don’t you put forth a reasonable explanation as to why and what incentive they have to do so along with your disagreement?

I don’t do anything for BASS. Not affiliated in anyway other than having held a membership most of my life.

Why do you dislike MLF?
