I would say the talent level went UP significantly 2 years ago when the baby's all decided to go play elsewhere and were replaces by better fisherman.
Kman thinks some guys just wanted to relax and have fun and not worry about dominating. As for Kman himself, nah he likes competition. Kman would look for a place where equals or closer to it play and not dominate guys who dont take it as serious.
I remember the articles from the Bassmaster Maff edition had a lot to say about it. I say bygones be bygones.
I really thought the comment blaming rich for the MAFF trail changes would stir the pot. I think he's hiding.
I accept blame. When someone who has forgot more about fishing then anyone else on the board collectively knows, takes over a trail and pretty much dominates, I expect there to be jealousy expressed as anger.
Dominate only because everyone else left doesn't count. I remember doing better than you at least a few times. Let's go head to head. Senkos and Carolina rigs on spinning gear only. Skipping docks on Carolina rigs only.
Like I said the teams that replaced the teams that left were 2x better.
Put your $$$$ where your mouth is. $200 a team winner take all. You can pick the lake.
