Dang brah, didn't you taste the sarcasm? I thought I laid it on quite thick.

Pittsburg was as approriate for the Classic as running the Indy 500 with go-carts on a B-ball court.

I was so disappointed and bored, I deleted it off Tivo instead of transfering it to tape as I planned for my library. Blah. I don't care to re-watch that travesty ever again.

I know BASS doesn't have the quality of the fishery as it's highest priority. The location is chosen after bidding by cities to get it. And BASS likes big cities with lots of people & MONEY.
That's the problem.

The first priority of a world class tournament with world class fishermen should be fishing world class fisheries. Once a reasonable list of fisheries exists, the surrounding cities can then bid and bargain or whatever. But the fishery should always come first.

And that's my "Buck'o'Five" :+
