Jason Christie took home $25,000 at the highest paying bass tournament in history. We caught up with him to talk about what it was like inside the inaugural WBE The Champions event, the BASS vs. MLF dynamic, and what this tournament could mean for the future of professional bass fishing.
Plus, Jason breaks down the finesse spinnerbait that helped him earn that $25K payday, including the exact bait, color, trailer, rod, reel, and line he used at Old Hickory.
A few things we get into:
– What it was really like behind the scenes at The Champions
– The atmosphere between BASS and MLF anglers
– His thoughts on resetting weights for the final day
– Why he thinks events like this are important for the future of bass fishing
– The $25,000 finesse spinnerbait setup
– Why he doesn’t use a trailer hook for largemouth
– Whether he thinks the Champions can become an annual event
Jason also shares some candid thoughts on pay-per-view, angler compensation, and why he believes the fishing industry needs to start working together to make the sport better.
