Title: Special Elite Series announcement today by McKinnis
Post by: Dan on January 18, 2011, 06:08:04 PM
What do you think Mckinnis is going to say in his special video announcement tomorrow? I'm hoping that it involves payouts and not any change in their structure. Should be interesting to hear what's up though. Suppose to occur at 2:00 pm tomorrow.

What about
First time in history that Michigan has sent 3 (or 4?) fishermen to the classic.

They just announced that they will award the angler of the year immediately following the last regular season event, this year its Wheeler (I'll be there to Marshal that event!) They then will invite the top 8 anglers and the angler of the year and then add four more anglers via the vote on bassmaster.com. Kind of a fan balloting idea.

Sounds like it will make the AOY what it should be and still have a post season that appears like it could be just as interesting as the last two years.

So if the ballot comes out we can stuff it with votes for Ryan Said and he will make the playoffs......That would be great we should get on this a huge call for votes once it is out.
