Thank You, Karl

the year 2000? Although I’ve killed quite a few brain cells since then, I do recall it was an exciting year. B.A.S.S. introduced World Championship Fishing, a boat racing/bass tournament combination that was exciting, although short-lived. Bass fishing legend Denny Brauer was in his heyday, as was Hall of Famer Davy Hite. The Classic was debuted a column called “What’s It Worth,” with author and antique tackle expert Karl White offering readers select vintage fishing gear alongside estimations of value. That column, in some form or fashion, has been in every issue of to this day.
