Re: WTB 16 foot ± Tracker
A 16' Tracker isn't much of a boat. Basically a 16' jon boat cool a decal down each side of the boat. Because they say Tracker guys think they're worth twice then what they actually are. A 16' modified V-hull in whatever brand would be a better choice then a 16' Tracker. Look for a 17' plus in whate...

Re: No Scope Tournaments For the Future?
I think tournament bass fishing is almost an embarrassment anymore. Even the Kayak guys rigs have gotten out of hand. I'm done with it.
I wonder if a minor league type format with no livescope, no Pro's, no guys or guides that spend 200+ days on the water would do?
