Its BS that they wont say who filed the protest..i mean if ur gonna accuse someone then be prepared to have ur voice heard and ur face shown so everyone sees and hears both sides of the story..just cowards to keep them a secret..
Greed is gonna destroy Bass fishing if these people don't fix these issues.FFS IS THE BIGGEST PART OF GREED PERIOD.
Your title is widely misleading. He wouldn’t be in this mess if not for his own actions of seeking information at all.
MLF has the best format. You have an official in the boat with you. You weigh and release each fish where it is caught. As long as the bass meets minimum weight, each one counts for your total weight. The only rule is the lake you are fishing is off limits so many weeks prior to official practice. Also, you can only use FFS for one of the 3 periods you fish. You can run to the spot you are going to fish prior to the start of the tournament keeping anglers from having dangerous boat races to their fishing spots. Also, when the last period is over the tournament is over keeping anglers from having a dangerous boat race back to the dock. Why continue to support BASS when they are behind times on how a tournament should be managed?
Scott passed his paid for polygraph, so why not take Bass polygraph as well to clear his name and then walk away from the Elite's. Scott has all the gain and nothing to lose since he plans on walking away. I kind of doubt if Scott would be able to pass Bass polygraph. Where there's smoke there's fire. I don't now Scott Martin and have nothing against him, but this has to do with the integrity of the sport.
I would bet that Matt Robertson is the protester. On em is on him.
Just end the no information rule. I suspect they are all getting info but some have sources that don’t tell.
Fans will leave
I am a retired STATE trooper here in Florida and know all about polygraphs relating to investigations. I happen to view all of Scott Martin's u-tube videos. I like him and his family. It is sad to hear what has happened. Scott may lose all of his sponsors like his Skeeter boats and on and on. Well, he will work with his mother at their marina and have guide trips. As I type, I really feel sad for him. I quit BASS some time ago for other reasons but I think they are in trouble. I follow MLF now and enjoy it. I have my Ranger boat and my wife and I fish when we want and only for fun. I wish Scott and his family the best. Just a point, with social media the way it is, all these tournament anglers can get a wealth of information without talking to anyone. BASS rules are old and need to be updated.
Maybe they should let the government water board the accused then we will find the real truth?😜
Scott Martin was notorious for getting insider info, guide info ect. on waters he was about to compete in.
He's a cheater!!! Deserves to get his reputation ruined
I think B.A.S.S. started going thecway of the Dodo, when ESPN bought them. The only reason I am a member is because of insurance reasons. It wouldn't hurt my feelings at all if the organization went belly up.
Actually he withdrew BEFORE he took the truth verification exam. It's funny to see all the bs online. We actually here. We fish bassmaster. He didn't want to take a truth exam because it would have ruined his career and potentially been banned from fishing ALL tournaments. I get it one time can be an accident. However being disqualified now 5 times from events. Twice in 2 years and he was being investigated for receiving information for pasquotank river as well. I get it he has a bunch of fanboys. But that doesn't make you allowed to cheat.
I’ve been a vocal fan of BASS… even in these comments, but I agree… there’s clearly a problem. I’m of the opinion that any formal protest should be public and have the name of the person filing on it. Don’t hide behind the veil of anonymity … if you man enough to protest be man enough to say it was you. I protested one person ever in a tournament and I was at least man enough to say it to his face and tell him why and what I saw. On the other hand I got protested once for something completely off base and it was “kept anonymous” until after the fact when it was proven not to be true. Guy didn’t have the guts to even ask me about it or to could have been settled with a conversation. But then again… dignity and “being a man” aren’t exactly qualities you see much these days.
We need the names so that they can feel the same crap Scott has been made to feel over this.
Exactly! I think somone had it out for Scott and I thik he got set up at the big O. Ditto on the latest protest.I'm done with BASS after this garbage>>>
How does someone get the phone number of someone they have no idea who they are, not friends with, and never met….coincidentally that just happens to live in the area of the upcoming tournament? No doubt in my mind he was trying to get something to help. There seems to be a lot of nieve people on his social media page. When literally almost every other angler say he's been getting help forever, maybe, just maybe he has been. And you can't have the polygraph argument go both ways. Why are we supposed to believe his self appointed one is accurate to exonerate him but the BASS polygraph that I'd assume would find him guilty is wrong. Come on man.
If you not naming the guy protesting F off with the bullshit. I have a feeling that there is a weasel in the field of anglers. I think it’s one of the guys everyone thinks is above board.
Ray Scott is looking down and thinking, WTF????
Scott was witch hunted and effectively so. I’m not implying he is completely innocent, but look at what B.A.S.S. does allow. It’s ok for Chris Johnston to fish on top of Robert Gee at the st Lawrence the way he did. It’s ok for Cory to poke fun of Gee the way he did on Mercers little pre tournament talk show. It’s ok for Cory Johnston to hook a bed fish outside the mouth on camera and still win the St. John’s event without being polygraphed. Slick Johnson posted the video of the catch and he isn’t looking at his graph whatsoever as he claims he was doing. If it’s ok to go the tournament leaders spot and fish on top of him, then who needs outside help? Just pile on the leader….works for the Johnston brothers! Bass has decided to end the careers of angler’s based on hearsay and witch hunts but they allow some of the favorites to wreak havoc and do whatever. I would love to see Scott qualify and fish the BPT or the NPFL. B.A.S.S. has failed their anglers and their fan base.
😢THE FACT that nobody is willing to name the "protesters" is a GIANT red flag for me. We, the American people have THE EXCLUSIVE RIGHT to face our accusers, period. Because it " might" hurt somebody's rep?? It already has, just ask Scott Martin and his family!!!
Shame on all of u who don't have the fortitude to name the accusers!!!
Scott has the right to face his accuser
He could make more money guiding than putting up with b.a.s.s.
I always watch your channel to see what is really going on. You do a great job 👍
BASS is a joke at this point. Just finish the collapse already and go away.
And another thing I get watching yourself with Bass but where are Scott’s roommates Matt and Scott Canterbury on this messed up subject ? I would love too here from them !!
Since the protesters are supposedly not Fieder or Robertson and they have been named by someone besides yourself can you elaborate on why those two Elite pros don’t care for Scott Martin ?? I’m fairly confident you know exactly why. Just curious because everybody has got haters but Scott too most people is a really good Angler and individual. I know years ago there were many that didn’t care for his Dad but I think he’s been much better about his reputation. Thanks
Great Update
One thing all fishing podcasts have in common, they know who did or said something but can never say. Always feels like high school. The bottom line is that the rule is the problem. Tournament fishing is a sport where every anglers wants to talk to these guys about fishing, and their sponsors want them to talk about their products and how and when they use them. Somehow, this rule has to change. Maybe keep the derby locations secret longer. Just one idea.
Fairwell to the cheater. He's been ripping off his competitors for years.
There is a very good reason why no anglers are supporting this guy. The silence is deafening.
He faIled BASS' polygraphs but passed his own? So who is right here?
I don’t follow Martin like I used to, but there’s one thing I’m certain of. He has to be losing his damn mind watching all of the start-up channels talking about this. I’ve see multiple channels with only a couple thousand subscribers..guys I’ve never heard of…trying to build their channel off of this.
The accuser should be named as well, and submit to a polygraph as well. I am not a super fan of Scott, but still a fan. Since he passed his polygraph, I would sue the crap out of Bass and their name less accusers for defamation of character..
Not sure what to believe. But regardless of the polygraph results and who took them, why was Scott calling a guy he doesn’t know looking for info to a similar body of water close by. AKA the tournament waters, just pretending it’s not for legal reasons. You know what I mean?
I respect Scott number one because I love the family and grew up watching his dad Roland and still do, and number two Scott started out as and earned his dues as a coangler.
I honestly don't know who the bad guy is here. This is a straight up divorce.
Forming questions for a poly examine will certainly
Get the desired results.
I think most anglers hear stuff and get info on lakes. Who cares let them, it’s hard to catch other people fish especially after 3 days of practice and 3 tournaments days. Let them fish!
