A Woman in the Elites?


It can happen...and it's 2/3's of the way from happening.  Congrats to Janet Parker for another solid finish in the Bassmaster Central Opens.  She is in second and the Top 5 make the Elites.  If she can pull through for another good finish she will make it.  That would be great for her and the sport of bass fishing.

Update:  I have had some comments on this issue on Twitter.  What do you think about a woman fishing the Elite series against the guys?

Good luck Janet!

I think it would be great. I know a few years ago when there was a women in the classic for the first time alot of the anglers made it clear they did not like it. I think the women should be allowed to fish the elites and if Janet finishes in a place to make it I hope there is no issue with her getting the invitation. I think if there is I would have a serious problem with B.A.S.S.

Great job Janet, the top contenders in the sport should be commended on a job well done no matter what their gender. Considering she is now in second place, she has proven she belongs there at the top with the other great opponents in the sport of fishing! In the end all that really matters is who weighs in the most fish.

She earned it. The woman that was given a classic birth did not earn it. Congrads to her!
