BTL comingAST Talk Live where we are going to talk about bass fishing.

Hopefully we got things working, we have a new kind of mobile studio set up going.

We're at Lake Champlain for the fourth and final Bass Nation regional.

Bass did a really cool thing this past year.

I think it was cool.

I thought it was a well thought out plan and I've done an entire show about it. We've had we had

Hank on before when he moved to to to the opens but what Bass wanted to do was kind of open that grassroots level of tournament bass fishing to more people when they went to the nine tournament opens for the EQs.

So it still is a path to the Bass Master Elite Series.

They turned it into four regional, so you can either qualify through your state or country, which we're going to get into that.

Josh, welcome to, uh, welcome to BTO.

Nice, man. We got a cool story coming up on this, but, uh, what they did was they did four regional. So if you still

can do the state thing where you know you fish you qualify for your state team and the

top anglers in the state go directly to the national championship which is a

250 boat tournament the beginning of November on Grand Lake which is one of the

reasons why I'm up at Champlain but you could also enter as an at large nation member.

And as an at large nation member, you could fish any of the four

regionals.

And if you finish in the top 20, I think it is, Josh?

Is it 20 or 25? I know, you think it's 25 I think it's 25 we'll go we'll go

with 20 now if you finish in the top either 20 or 25 you got a invite to the national championship
