It is about time. This has been in works for quite awhile.
Perhaps BASS can return to its grassroots with this sale.

Hopefully they will be able to find money and get the AOY back the way it has always been. Then everyone will be happy.

Well that's been the rumor, now confirmed. I think this could turn out to be great for BASS, the anglers and the fans.

more tournies, less entry fee with more sponsors to keep paybacks the same, move AOY format to the way it was designed.... better coverage on free tv (non cable).... open it up for everyone to see! fans will come.

It will be interesting, thats for sure. I wonder if Forrest Wood is one of the investors?

You can avoid having ulcers by adapting to the situation: If you fall in the mud puddle, check your pockets for fish. ~Unknown
Open your eyes & look within, are you satisfied with the life youre living.
No matter how good or bad you have it, wake up each day thankful for your life. Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs.
