I might get killed for this, but does it feel like BASS is trying too hard with this movement? Articles that there will be females on the Elites and a female Classic champion when neither one has ever come close to happening? Interviews with female co- anglers because there aren't enough female Opens pros to get content out of. Videos of girls showing their favorite way to catch panfish and white bass? It just feels like they are really trying to make something that just isn't there.

Kind of coincidental that the only chicks they show are the same 2-3 decent looking girls that fish. It’s silly.

BASS tried to elevate women when ESPN owned them....they had a womens circuit and their angler of the year was invited to Bassmaster classic couple of times...lot of controversey because many felt that the woman's trail was not up to a bass club level....the two women that fished the classic were not competitive although one (Pam Martin) did catch an early limit on first day..

There is nothing that stands in the way of women fishing the pro level of BASS. The bottom line is men are just better fishermen than women.

As much as I want to agree. My Mom taught me about fishing then Dad.
Seeing a sexy woman on a $150,000 boat. Pulling them in.
We're talking natural. If she stood on her head. They wouldn't sag an inch.
Be right back with YouTube channel.

Kristine Fisher and Kay.Fishing are in that promo reel, along with Hillary Martin.
Kristine talks about it a lot, she'll be doing a couple of opens coming up and now has feet in both the boat and kayak side of fishing. She doesn't expect that she'll be the woman in the Elites, but hopes one of this coming crop will be.
Kay is just having fun.
Hillary has the funding to do it, but just needs to get the fishing part down better than dad.

It think it’s weird when any gender, race, or sexual orientation is highlighted or promoted for anything.
There is probably plenty of sponsorship opportunities for females in fishing right now. That’s good.
Whether you’re black, white, brown, boy, girl, it doesn’t matter to me. You still have to go fishing. You won’t be around long if you don’t weigh fish. There are a lot of examples of women that haven’t succeeded at bass fishing, but there probably a few that can do it. Good for them.
