I found this about basschamps - 07/15/15 02:56 AM
I don't chime in on social media a lot, but this subject just hits me wrong. So here's my two cents like it or not.
First- Awesome choice Bass Champs for the selection of the 2015 Championship.
Second- Seems like most of the discouraging posts are not sure of what a successful tournament trail is. When each event out of 4 regions averages well above 200 teams I'd say that is success.
How hard is this to do? Look at the tournament trails that have come and gone in the past 10 years. Look at the trails lucky enough to draw 40 teams and pay $1500.00.
So what contributes to the success? Great business men that understand what we anglers need and like to make it happen. (Money)
Look at B.A.S.S. and FLW, no not team events but what makes them successfully? (Money)
What makes a high percentage of people keep competing in a great event? (Money)
When your success rate is high, yes, cities pour in the money to have you back. That's no different in B.A.S.S. or FLW.
Without the money and keeping anglers happy and by just making it bigger and better every year, Bass Champs wouldn't be where they are today and neither would we. We would still be fishing for $2500.00 if we were lucky.
These guys have to get paid somehow and it's not by taking money out of our pockets. It's by hard work from Sponsors and Cities.
Do your research on successful trails then post your negativity feed, or just man up and fish all tournaments in a region and show up to the Championship and let your fishing do the talking. Next year, of coarse.
We have a great sport and it's all over the USA not just Texas. That's why so many from other states come fish with us.
And Third- I'm so glad to say I've been able to help create the best tournament trail in the USA one entry fee at a time.
Great job Bass Champs!!
I'll continue to be a part of your success as long as you are around no matter what state, as long as it's in the USA.
Stand strong together or make the news with the other fighting idiots on TV.
Help keep our sport strong and quit your Bitching!!!!
