    Hopefully they give the guy his money like they did John Murray after they screwed him.

    For such a huge organization, they sure seem to have a lot of trouble. I was thinking about getting back into fishing the BFL tournies but I am sure my Triton would get me DQ’d if I won since it’s not under 20′ long.

    Just finished looking at the BFL website and there is no mention of the disqualification. Are they just going to try and sweep it under the rug ?? Very disapointing.

    Sweep, Sweep, Sweep. Just like the Tony Christian DQ.

    Here is some food for thought about the BFL. I fished 4 different Wildcard tournaments with questionable ethics involved. The first one was at Neely Henry,AL The winner was Bill Taylor the FLW director,another of the final 6 was Eddie Evans the tournament directors brother and another one was a Redman chewing tobacco rep. I am sure that non of them new where the tournament was going to be held. The next tournament in question was at Paducah, KY on the Ohio River. There at the meeting is Billy Schroeder, one of the best fisherman in the area. I’m sure he just had a bad year and didn’t know where the wildcard was going to be held. Oh ya, he came in second. Then the last two I went to were at West Point,Ga. Each year I drew a co-angler from GA. that told me they knew the tournament was going to be held there and they knew it by midsummer. How is that for playing in a fair field? I did not renew my membership last year and will not fish with them again. Sorry about being longwinded but I thought I should share this information. For an added note Bill Taylor was a part time director when he won and for the 2nd West point tournament Kim Carver a former All-American winner fished that and came in second, and I’m sure he had a bad year too.
