Owner of Bassmaster (The Bilge Podcast) 

That’s Right !

They seem to be here for the long haul!

Thanks Jack!!

🙏👊🏽

I didn’t get the audio at first but Trait wanted it and here we are… it works!

Thanks for listening 👊🏽

Chase answers questions like a politician I'm glad I'm not the only person that saw this.

🙏👊🏽

Haha people watch the podcast but then they walk in and see how tiny the set is and it throws them for a loop

Thanks Chris 👊🏽

I think that’s why the split was rushed. They realized the new ownership might listen to anglers and make quality changes if given time to learn what all was going on internally.

@@Zaldaingerous Thank you for introducing us to Chase, The silver lining of the events of 2018/19 and what Chase went through is, he has skin in the game, I am hoping he brings to BASSMASTER what it hasn't had since Ray Scott.

They are definitely two different models when it comes to in person fan experience, etc.

@@Zaldaingerous yup. Guessing BASS is better for the angler.

Thanks for watching, Brent!

That’s the good part about having BTL and all the other fishing podcasts out there. They talk a whole lot of fishing so we are trying to find another lane.

This was definitely a but kissing interview..according to this interview b Everything is 100% perfect nothing to change.. thats what it looks like when your telling a man he is perfect..

I talk over her, too. It is eye opening to see how some men handle a female co-host 😂

@@Zaldaingerous LOL this has absolutely nothing to do with man or woman so let’s not pull that card- it’s simply an observation of reality. Trait is the reason the podcast does well, she guides interviews professionally and keeps the guest engaged , Id argue shes the host and you the co-host. I believe its worth noting, however, that Trait sometimes gets a little over-zealous in this role, diminishing the experience of the guest, hindering Chris’s evolution as a host/ interviewer, and leaving the audience wondering “what did Chris have to say?”. I think it was Trait that said “talking about something doesn’t mean your being negative” so take your own advice and sort through the bad comments to hear what your listeners have to say… Its great podcast but that doesn’t mean it cant be improved with a more collaborative approach.

You’d think someone would make a streaming app that allows you to kill the video stream but keep the audio 🤔

Totally agree..build the Nation to like BFL... not some guy with a laundry basket weighing fish and a Bass sign held up by pvc

He is a ceo .. he is a owner not worker .. he has to read people and please them for them to keep making his future and money..

He’s nothing special. Typical CEO milk toast responses and dances around hard hitting questions. Talks about transparency and communication but admits to not being transparent about financials with the key money makers of the industry because “they don’t get it” he’s there to insure the family will make their money and that’s it. I don’t see him making any kind of major key moves to really advance the industry or BASS. I’ve worked with multiple billion dollar corporations over the years and companies that are paying their workers fairly have zero issues being transparent about their financials so him dancing around that question has me guessing that they’re paying out way less than they can and writing it off as “I’m not explaining it to you because you wouldn’t understand”

I’m late to the party, lol. But yeah he gave very corporate general answers to some of the easy questions. If he was afraid to respond to them, something’s up.

Most don’t understand. A lot of dirty tactics in the timing of the split and how the other side handled it so the anglers didn’t have a chance to really get to know the knew ownership and vise versa

Exactly

That’s a pretty normal phrase for someone who went from a minority owner to a majority owner. It wasn’t like it was a hostile takeover

Just you haha

@@PHATBASSASSASSIN Figures 😆

The audio was double checked before recording and everything was set up correctly

​@@Zaldaingerous copy that. I just got home from work and tried my other ear buds and its on point. Sorry for that guys.

The audio is good, but I always have to turn up the volume when they speak. The intro is extremely loud.

We hadn’t really talked about what happened publicly until this past year. You’d be surprised at how many MLF anglers have reached out to say they are glad we are talking about things. Maybe a few will be on for podcasts soon 😉

He’s also not going to publicly deny when asked on record because that could set up issues, as well. And I’m not an employee. I’m a contractor.

As someone who sits in the group angler meetings, he’s not wrong. Most anglers need to look at it as being a business owner but they don’t and that’s the problem.

Only 8-10 events a season and 104 anglers on tour, so the chances of winning the $100k are very slim. So yes, the 94 anglers who don’t win have to figure out other ways to capitalize each season in order to guarantee a decent income stream that’s not fully reliant on tournament results.

@@Zaldaingerous he is the casino anglers are gamblers

Yes

👍

The NFL is a platform for Mahomes to sell shoes but it doesn’t mean it’s not a sport?

What about someone that never sinned? Should they be killed? Ofc not, but that is what Jesus did for all of us. He became sin for us who knew no sin so that by putting our faith in Jesus we are no longer seen a sinner! Sounds like an incredibly loving and merciful God to do that for someone as unworthy as me!

@@johnjoyce3371 You are no longer seen as a sinner if you put your faith in Jesus? 1. People who have faith in Jesus, who have committed horrendous crimes aren't seen as sinners? 2. Wouldn't an "incredibly loving and merciful God" simply leave you alone and let you enjoy freedom, instead of acting like an ever present dictator, just waiting for you to slip up (even though she could have stopped you) and then torturing you for eternity in hell? It's not freedom if you are forever subject to the whims of a god who can torture you forever, whenever they want. How is eternal hell fire merciful exactly?

Skeet is actually one of the owners at MLF and pushes the same rhetoric that Boyd does. A big reason why I stayed at Bassmaster was his rhetoric during the split week 🚩

​@@Zaldaingerous Exactly, Skeet is a Boyd wanna be.
