Bassmaster inequity

September 12th 2007 00:29
This will probably stroke someone's fur the wrong way but...


I knew about this before anglingfish was even an idea. I figured that maybe I'd get over it sooner or later but, the more I write, the more I think about it. I've thought about it quite a bit and keep coming up with the same question--
WHY?

Boyd Duckett

Pam Martin-Wells

Back in the early part of 2007 Boyd Duckett won the Bassmaster Classic and pocketed $500,000. This sounds like a pretty hefty chunk of change but, there's a lot of hidden expenses on the tour so I said, "More power to him."


Around the same time, the inaugural WOMEN'S Bassmaster Classic was held. Winner Pam Martin-Wells took home a Trition-Mercury boat/motor rig valued at $60,000 along with a purse of $10,000.


So, you have $70,000 versus a half million bucks!
WHY?


Until next time--watch yourself and watch your line!

I came to look at your site because you were kind enough to leave comments on mine.

I was thinking I would find nothing to relate to since the one and only time I went fishing was at a trout farm and I FAILED TO CATCH A FISH. I hear that I did the virtual impossible.

Anyway, I was wrong about the former, because I am very much interested in this post, and am echoing your own "WHY?" wholeheartedly. It makes absolutely no sense to me, but this is something that is very prevalent.

Nice post James.

BTW, just saw post on the left, and I apologise profusely. I failed to fish a fish, not catch a fish. Lol.

Check this out...
I wonder if it's because you have a bunch of "good ol' boys" in charge of things and they figure anything is good enough for "the little lady."

Highly likely.
