Good morning and welcome to another exciting edition of BTL Bass Talk Live where we are going to talk about bass fishing.

We've got a big show today. We got a number of guests.

We have Ricky Harris from Omni fishing coming on.

Then we're going to do a full show with Dave Rush for Best on Tour. We're going to break down all that we know. There's a lot that we don't know also. and we're going to dive into why it is not cut and dry,

why it is not black and white as to who's in,

who's out on the Bass Master

lead series for next year. I think the classic field is pretty well set. We may have a special

guest at the end, at the end of the show, who, who had to sweat it out and do a little bit of

a little bit of work on his end to get into that Bassmaster classic. But we're going to

talk about why it's not set in stone, especially when it comes to the BPT, when it comes to

elite series re-qualification. We know some anglers who already said, hey, this was my last day.

Some anglers who are hoping to get in. Some anglers who are on the bubble. We also have the team series going on. What is it? Not the thumb tip. The thought, something thumb in Michigan. They're up there. There's small mouth. There's large mouth. They did a really good show last week with Josh Bertrand and Dean Rojas, Team Smokey Mountain. They're competing today as one of the four teams to move on in the team series.
