I saw it too, not pretty. Great show up until the end. This was the tournament that ended up tied. Went to sudden death so whoever caught the first legal bass (14″) won the tournament. Ike made a smart move not traveling far so he could fish immediately. Didnt work out as he caught fish but not legal size. When his watcher received a call advising the competitor caught a legal fish thus ending the tourney, Ike had a melt down. Something he has been good about NOT doing for some time. First he busted his rod on the side of the boat (took two tries). Then for an encore threw the bottom half of the rod and reel into the lake towards shore with lots of yelling to boot. Been nice if they edited out that part but then again, Ike would have been smarter to not put himself in the position of getting that act on film. I know he had to be unbelievably frustrated after getting so close to the win, especially after several 2nd places lately but as a professional you just cant do that stuff. Im sure he knows that and will be harder on himself then anyone else is going to be. Will be interesting to see if there is any fall out. Hopefully not.BTW – It wasnt clear to me who sponsored the tournament or how it came about but I missed the first few minutes of the program. Also, I think this event was discussed on here a while back when it took place. There were from folks from here at the event I seem to recall. There were some Bass Cat spectator boats in the background.Last edited by schodackbassman on December 18th, 2011, 9:04 pm, edited 2 times in total.
