BBT Weekend Report

[Champ188]

Guys, after fishing the Big Bass Tour derby this year, I want to go down as saying they run the absolute best big-bass event I've ever seen. They put Bob Sealy's old McDonald's tournaments and any of his other productions to shame. Same for other operations that I've been around over the years. I didn't see a single thing that wasn't run with ease and efficiency. Best of all, their weigh-in setup is fish-friendly.

Yes, the weigh-in site is awkward, especially for those fishing the river arms and wanting to play the hourly "poker" game of deciding when to weigh in a smaller fish and slip into the money. But Mark and the staff are bound by their sponsor agreement with BPS to hold it there and nowhere else. That's life in the fishing derby world, where sponsorships dictate just about everything.

That said, abkeenan's comment above is pretty darn funny.
