Summing Up the Season

A summary of the BASS and FLW seasons

FLW Outdoors

   “This is my 16th season, and you go into it thinking it’s just another year. But it was not just another year, I think it was a milestone in the sport.

We did so many good things, and there were things we certainly could do better. But all in all, I think it’s been a phenomenal year. And the respect we got from the anglers, especially wanting to come back (in 2007), speaks for itself.” - Trip Weldon, BASS Tournament Director
