BBT - News Alert- Tournament Status

BestBassTournaments · Post by **BestBassTournaments** » Thu Mar 12, 2020 7:39 pm

We have had some phone calls regarding the current virus that is going around. After careful consideration BBT events will continue as planned.

BBT events by nature do not have close personal contact with groups of anglers. Please follow the CDC recommendations and lets have an awesome event.

What about the weigh-masters? Crowds of onlookers? Hmmm....

What are you talking about?? Weigh masters handle fish not people, last I heard fish aren’t carriers. What crowds of onlookers, have you fished a tournament? This isn’t FLW or BASS.

Yah I’ve fished my share of tourneys. Not gonna get into a pissing match here. Do your research, or don’t. Peace.

C'mon Kolt45. A person would have more risk getting gas or going to a grocery store then fishing/attending a tournament.
I'm hoping BBT is just saying they're not going to be morons and call off tournaments over this.

Shameful and irresponsible of any sporting organization.

BBT is only thinking about money, pure and simple.

Relax. Good for BBT not giving into the hysteria. 20,000 people in the U.S. die from the flu every year and nobody bats an eye. 60+ deaths and everybody is losing their damm minds. It will all be over in a few weeks.

I don’t always agree with BBT but in this instance I do. Thank you for not buying into the hysteria. Nothing is safer than being out on a boat fishing.

Thank you Randy and the BBT for not buying into the hysteria. Right now we all need an escape from the insanity and no better a safe place than on the water.

This is not hysteria, You guys need to take this more seriously. It will not be over in a few weeks .If anything its going to get worse.Not a fan of cancelling events but if thats what it takes to stop the spread than thats what should happen.

If you want to get in line with the rest of them and walk off a cliff go ahead. I’ll go fishing and take my chances with the other meat eaters.

While the internet can be a wonderful tool, whether it's prefishing using google earth or learning new techniques on youtube, I can usually only take these forums in small doses, because of the negativity. I fished a tournament in the past couple weeks where 60+ people were gathered in a small area for a meeting. At the time this was following cdc guidelines, but that is changing. I've been fishing with my father for 20 years and he's 76yrs. old. I choose to listen to those that know much more about this than I, the cdc. What you should be thinking about is how your actions may impact others, someones parent/ grandparent. I plan on using this time to hang out with my children and help my older neighbors by shopping for them.
God bless!

Not when they close. McClure just announced a closure.

Hey WB Staff, in your computer format, I think we need a thumbs up and down format on individual post. I sometimes agree and disagree with some postings. Now my thoughts, I always heard, 'When the going gets tough, the tough go fishing.'

ash · Post by **ash** » Tue Mar 17, 2020 5:19 pm

Hey guys this was for Last weekends tournament. It was great to see all 94 teams show up to fish Berry.

You’ll notice that there is a new update as of yesterday for the Oroville tournament in the Northern region.
