RE: Nixon's steadiness – I know what Larry means about his aim being off after shoulder surgery. I didn't have a replacement, but just getting it cleaned out, I would throw everything off to the left (right shoulder worked on) - casts, baseball, whatever. Finally got better after months of working on it.
RE: Windy City Classic – I remember that tournament! Proud to be a life member! I didn't know about the kids throwing rocks, though. And I couldn't believe the low attendance! I never saw any TV/radio publicity about the Classic until the morning of Championship Sunday. Wonder if B.A.S.S, will ever return to the Windy City?
RE: Windy City Classic – I know the Classic in Chicago often gets a bad rap and for many reasons it deserves to. That said, for a 15-year-old kid such as myself living in Wisconsin, it was my best opportunity to go to a Classic at the time. To me, it was a great Classic because it came to a part of the country that at the time hadn’t really seen a major tournament like that. While it may not have brought the results or the fanfare as most Classics, for some it was still the greatest show in fishing. I’d like to see it go to more unconventional places to expose more people to it outside of the typical audience.
Really getting disillusioned with all these bass pros doing nothing but pushing high-priced equipment that l and the common guy cannot afford. They have become in my eyes nothing more than insurance and car salesmen!
RE: Nixon's steadiness – It is great reading an article like this on such an amazing angler. I am also up in years and have grown up watching these pros as I learned from them. Health issues may slow us elders a little, but we press on. Go get 'em, Larry!
RE: Lake Powell biologist reflects – Thank you, Wayne, for all your years of hard work and dedication. Now get back out there and catch some more fish!
RE: Balog on livewelll procedures – I've used hydrogen peroxide for bleeding smallmouth. I've found mortality rates to be FAR less when hydrogen peroxide was added to stop the bleeding.
RE: Cox's St. Lawrence DQ – The rule was in place from the start. I am glad to see B.A.S.S. going by written rules and not changing for one angler. Great job, B.A.S.S.
RE: Cracking a Ned – Great article! So many relevant details on the Ned technique from anglers 'in the know'. LePera nails it again!
RE: Arey's video from home – If ya got 'em rocking to some AC/DC, then ya raised 'em right!
RE: Balog on Lau – Thanks, Joe, for making me remember.
RE: Cox's St. Lawrence DQ – I think Cox got a raw deal here. This made me question weather I should support B.A.S.S. moving forward.
I saw where BASS is now dropping each angler's worst finish for classic qualifying. Hurt Bill Lowen. I am guessing that John can drop the tournament he misses as his worst and still have the opportunity to fish the Classic?
BassFan says: Cox also has a 96th-place finish from Neely Henry Lake on his ledger, so he's one of the anglers who doesn't derive much benefit from the drops relative to the rest of the field.
RE: Cox's St. Lawrence DQ – I agree with B.A.S.S.' decision. I feel bad for John, but they absolutely made the right decision.
RE: Balog on Lau – Great piece, Joe, and thank you for remembering Glen. He was truly a pioneer and worthy of Mt. Rushmore.
RE: BassFan World Rankings – I'm not a fan of Mr. Wheeler. He is a real good fisherman, he just has a large ego. No thanks
RE: Lure Lock and NASCAR – It is a guarantee that a fishing product is overpriced when they become the primary sponsor for a NASCAR team.
RE: Balog on Lau – Great thoughts, Joe. The whole world needs to learn this.
