BASS is LIVE

Right now on ESPN.

Actually it's ESPN2.

27 lbs of smallmouth is insane.

That would be loads of fun. But, I tried watching it for about 20-30 minutes. Nothing like watching a bunch of guys hunkered over their bow graphs with a drop shot rig to get me fired up!!! Not.

While the weights etc are impressive these are the events that I watch less of no matter the trail. Its just not my thing.

Right. I bet it IS fun to sit and hammer 3+ pound smallies all day, but not to watch. “It’s a giant it MIGHT HELP...stay buttoned”. Rinse repeat.

Don't worry bud, they could all spank you with a flippin stick in there hand too

Ohhhh. Tease me tease me. I like a good spanking with a stick.

Agree. Watching northern smallmouth tournaments aren’t the best but man do I want to go do it. 27lb smallie bags have to be equivalent to at least a 35+Lb largemouth bag, right?

That almost 8lb smallmouth was allsome, too bad i couldn't tell you who any of those guys are over there now,

They just ran the wrong leaderboard, noticed yesterday at the the weigh in several of the angler had the wrong name, different first name or spelled wrong. Who is running the technical stuff/graphics for BASS they are making a ton of mistakes they don't normally make when not on ESPN.

Your post above this one you say you don't recognize any of the names still at BASS but then this one says their names etc are spelled wrong.

When the fat guy announcing the weigh in says their name and it doesn't match whats on the screen, sorry to be critical but think they would have their s@#t together for being on espn

Luckily we have choices. Sounds like you enjoy BPT more. Nothing wrong with that either.

Allsome? Who's running your technical stuff?

LMAO....was thinking the same thing....it’s “simular” to awesome....

They have put out a better production product than this in the past, the audio is now a mess. I just think they would have had their ducks in a row, hopefully it will be better for the weekend

Where are they?

Lake Ontario. Supposed to get windy Sunday, that should be interesting viewing

It'll be windy tomorrow...

Like glass on the big lake today.

Starting to roll as predicted. By the late afternoon into tomorrow will be interesting

If I fished for next 6 hours rolling like Mueller and Johnston, I would likely take three steps and fall over when I got outta the boat. When we used to jetty fish I always had jelly legs for first 5 minutes after hitting land and felt it in the shower a time or two!

Isn't a jetty by definition hard dry ground (often with added rip-rap, of course) that doesn't move up/down or rock like a boat?

that's what I was thinking

I took it as fishing a jetty from a boat. The jetty creates a rebound effect on rough waters, making standing in the boat bumpy. Could be wrong, but that’s how I interpreted it.

aaah, yep, that would do it. Same as fishing freshwater against bulkheads where all the traffic wakes and natural waves have a milkshaker effect.

Wow tough crowd, I'm enjoying seeing 4 guys fish and two with big smallies on. Good stuff.

And Mosley fishing 2ft of water burning a chatterbait catching 4lb largies. He's gonna make a top 10 on green fish on one of the best smallmouth fisheries

Did the cameramen go on strike that last segment, they at least usually show them running in to checkin, not the best from them on this one

Probably all sea sick. I know Johnstons camera man was puking all day in the 5-7fters

What he did was pretty impressive. Looked like a ton of fun

Worst Sunday coverage of any event so far... may have been 30 minutes of actual live on the afternoon segment of the show. Over and over for 2 hours it was the same fish catches by the same 2-3 guys. Seeing the footage of the guys fishing the big water was awesome, makes some of those rough days around here on our lakes look like Childs play.

Would love to go get some of those giant small jaws, that’s a bucket list item for sure.

I agree, IDK what was going on maybe espn insisted they help with the coverage. Numerous technical glitches thursday and friday, saturday was good from what I watched but the sunday afternoon session was a beating. I think some stuff we are not privy too may have been going on in the background during the sunday break Zona seemed to be hinting about that and there was lots of nervous laughter.

I thought it was just me who thought this...seems to be the theme of these threads in other places.

Me and Ratz are planning a caravan next year if all this crud is over with. We were going to go this year til all this stuff started up. You can go to the next lock up and get completely away from the big water and the smallmouth fishing is every bit as good. You should go with us Buda.

I agree, worst live coverage theyve had in a while.

Seems like they were losing cell signal in the waves. As soon as the anglers came off the lake they had lots of footage to go through and put up in a short amount of time. Between that and the camera men all getting seasick it’s tough to please the TFF. I could have watched Mosley fish those docks all day.

Well they should have kept on Mosely instead of showing the same 3 clips over and over. They could have had Davey Hite doing some interviews at the ramp as guys came in early but nada, I think they must have had some connectivity issues with the main hub truck or generators went down.
