Federation to leave BASS

[WIbassfisherman]

I think Ike and Skeet gave ESPN the insight as they're charasmatic, etc., however they come packaged with the fact that they are extremely knowledgeable and good fisherman. ESPN has hurt BASS in the long run I feel and FLW although having sponsors and marketing at the center of their driving force are at least stable.

Personally, I'm dropping out of my Federation Club as I don't desire to be a part of ANY drama, and I'm going to concentrate on Team Events for the upcoming season at least. FLW has always had the BFL's and Stren Series and they are run well. It'll be interesting to see the turnout, results, and response the "weekend series" brings on the BASS side.

If and when I decide to start moving up levels I'm going to go with the FLW organization/ladder.

Don Rucks and the rest of their crew forgot how to treat people like people.
