Good morning and welcome to another exciting edition of BTL Bass Talk Live where we are going to talk about bass fishing. Very busy week in the world of professional bass fishing. You've got a BPT coming up in a week

or another invitational at the beginning of the month. And then the Elite series kicks off

tomorrow out at Hartwell, which that looks like it could be setting up.

Man, I'm just a fan of catching fish and I'm watching all these guys out at Hartwell.

And they're like, oh, here's a 15 pound striper.

Here's an 8 pound hybrid.

Here's a 4 pound spotted bass.

Like, I'm all about like, if I'm going to practice for an event for an event like yeah it's nice to get on it

But dude like if you could just like turn around and catch a 10 pound striper at any cast like I like those events like I like going to Cherokee and trying to catch the small mouth and then just like oh look schooling high for 30 seconds I like those type of practices but it'll be interesting to see how that goes down,

whether that'll be a bank-related deal, a postpone deal, or a mix of both. But news that came down

over this past week, which I got to admit, it wasn't a shock to me, but it was a surprise.

And Kevin was the first of what I would call a generation of professional anglers.
