Looks like the big problem was all those rangers plowing water lol

There was only 1 boat that stayed out all day fishing and it was me. I have a 520L and we ran 65 in the morning and the worst part of the day was 11am ran from temple to echo and doing 64 and it was not that bad. It seems as on here as was with the locals at mead that where not fishing it that had the negative things to say. This was not at all the worst weather tournament I have fished. 2-3years ago and 5 years ago for won bass u s open was worse. Fished a Wild West that was probably the worst ever. Can remember one on amistad that had me thinking what heck are you doing out here. But in life we all make decisions and it’s was totally up to each team on weather to fish or not. There was people there that did not have the skill to drive a boat but heck should they canceled all the tournaments “legit Britt” fishes cause he can’t drive a boat and wrecks? We ran all over the lake and was out cell reception and even if would have heard phone ring we would never even look cause we where fishing not working.
They sent out text message that park service was going to let them go ahead and if you felt uncomfortable they would give you a refund and get you into another tournament. This is by far the best tournament any one could fish. I would have not liked to be in the TD shoes to call it. The amount of money spent to put this on was unreal for a bunch average fishermen. It was not one trailer and some banners. Light plants everywhere stages big tents and over 50 bass pro employees working to put this on, they went all out for the fishermen heck they where even handing out invasive species stickers so guys did not have to go get them from parks and wildlife and I would like to know who else would put a tournament on that would make the classic look bad just for customers of Johnny boats. I hope I get to go to Table Rock cause if He went out this well for just a qualifier I could image what it will be like.
For every fishermen weather you like his boats or not this tournament at mead showed me He is a marketing genius. The number of first time bass tournament entries and just to hear the excitement from their voice and they are hooked and that’s good for all of use in every market of bass fishing. I know there will be guys who when time for a different boat will get one just to get the opportunity to fish this and if what ever a person can afford is what they need to fish out of.

your post count tells me this is damage control, that takeoff was beyond stupid and dangerous you can't argue that, if they want a fatality in the near future they can keep doing it that way...
