BTL, coming at ya!

Good afternoon and welcome to another exciting edition of BTL Bass Talk Live,

where we are going to talk about bass fishing.

And yes, we're an hour earlier than it says that it was scheduled,

but that is the joys of doing a live program today is the last day of practice

for the Bass Master Open EQ on you follow up.

They did it in divisions this year.

So there's no longer a central and eastern and a southern.

I believe this is division number one.

So this is the first Bass Master Open EQ for division number one.

I am actually in the Media or the Tournament trailer for Bass Master right outside.

And I've got the Bass Master Opens Tournament Director with me.

Hank Weldon, Hank, thank you.

You have a crazy busy day.

We're going to actually kind of get into a little bit behind the scenes of what goes on,

but thank you for jumping on BTL for a live on-mocation episode from Lake You Follow Alabama.

This is fun. Happy to do this.
