Re: MLF Clear Lake Thoughts?

I would think the Clear Lake winner can be someone not relying on FFS in order to get the winning bag, that's what I'm hoping for at least.

Re: 19-Years-Old with Historic Bassmaster Win

Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire benefited from new technology - steroids. And that got banned in all major sports. So should FFS be banned in professional bass fishing, we all can agree it is an enhancement and changes outcomes.
