Sounds like another money making scheme dreamed up by the big wigs at E.S.P.N.

Ever since E.S.P.N. took over B.A.S.S. things have gone downhill. One of the best things about B.A.S.S. for all the years was that even though they were the biggest they were always handled like a "small" business. They catered to all bass anglers and equipment manufacturers - big and small. Now E.S.P.N. wants to turn it into what Nascar has become and the people at B.A.S.S. who have been there forever think it's a horrible idea. I agree. I think the big wigs at E.S.P.N. view their new investment (B.A.S.S.) as just that - a money making investment - not a fishing organization. They know nothing about fishing or running a large fishing organization they just view it as another sport in which they can profit from.

Sending a bunch of products out to your customers, then hitting them up with a payment months down the road is definetely something a large corporation would do.

I got the book also. If they want it back I will tell them to send me a postage paid self-addressed envelope and I will gladly drop it in my mailbox.
