Oh snap, you had too play to park and walk to the expo? Yea, BASS sucks.

Where did I say BASS sucks??😂 I enjoyed it a ton! Just sharing the facts that it was not 100% free and that BPT events are open to the public. Both simple facts

You said BPT was free and BASS wasn't, your words implied it, I was emphasizing the 'snarkiness' of your post

The fish was weighed 4 times read 1-15 3 times go watch the re play

I would put money on it that he will be sooner than later

The fish was only weighed THREE times. After the first called weight, Bobby put the fish back on the scale before it was zeroed. NO weight was called when this happened. Bobby took the fish off the scale, and for the second time the weight was 1-15. The third and final weight was 2-0, per the rules. Go watch the replay again.

Now let's be real about this. BASS did not charge you to park. The CITY OF GREENVILLE charged you to park.

I can see it now, Christie needs 17.9 to win the classic and it comes up 17.8 and they pick the bag up and drop it back in the basket several times and it comes up 17.9 for the win! I like Bobby Lane and both formats , but that reweigh rule is pretty shakey at best with what's on the line in that case. I would suspect they will revisit that rule at some point but for now it's a rule they supported as anglers.

Six to one half a dozen to the other- I can see it both ways. Both leagues pay to rent venues, with or without parking included in the fee they paid. RedCrest had free parking- many events at the facility charge to park, many don’t.

the cities where the classic or redcrest is held pay BASS or MLF to hold their weigh-in/expo there and tournament at a nearby lake...hopefully someone with inside knowledge can tell us whether BASS/ or MLF pay for use of the weigh-in location and who receives the revenue from the various exhibitors.....I've been told that one of the reasons the anglers left BASS and formed MLF was that the classic and TV show was generating huge revenue for BASS and anglers were receiving none of it and still fishing for their own entry fees....

10-4! I see now

This is a very good point.

As long as the rule Is followed equally I don’t see the big deal. I have rode in the Toyota TTBC and Bassfest. Generally they like to be able to re-weigh. The digital scales BASS uses are real accurate. You might get a 1oz on a re-weigh. Most of the time it weighs the same. They can all re-weigh.

They are leery of the accuracy of using separate scales. That’s natural when 1oz could be considerable prize money. When the scales weigh the same object that weighs 5.0# they all weighed 5.0# or at least the ones I saw them try did. Trip said they periodically check them all.

Even though Lane won by 1# 3oz that last Bass had to be 2.0# to be scoreable. So the re-weigh rule determined the outcome of the tournament. However the rule was set long before. Had Clausen caught a similar fish he would have done the same thing.

$250,000 re-weigh.

Had to look it up, more like a 250k swing in prize money for 1st and 2nd.

All depends on the situation, throw that bass in the livewell and what if he pukes on the way back to the weigh in, how much weight does he lose then? Its a different game and B Lane was just playing by the rules and happened to work out on the good side for him.
