Chase Anderson might be the most important interview you will ever do. For the CEO of BASS to come on your podcast and end the interview with "Seek the Lord and find out for yourself"? WOW! This is definitely someone I would work for.
That’s Right !
I've had the distinct pleasure of meeting and getting to know Chase on several occasions. I can attest that In person, one on one, he is exactly as we see him here in this interview: warm, humble, kind, a man of faith, and a passionate fan of bass fishing with a real competitive spirit. He cares deeply about the anglers, the fans, and our sport. Chase and Bassmaster are winning the battle while taking the high road. They're doing it right by simply doing it better. I believe with all my heart that Bsssmaster is in great hands.
B.A.S.S is in great hands with the Anderson family.
They seem to be here for the long haul!
Wow . . . I'm familiar with the 'name' Chase Anderson and knew his position, but this was the first time I've seen, or heard him speak.
First off, I think it' is VERY telling that Chase was willing to come on the show and open up for over an hour in the manner he did. It really speaks volumes.
What a great person to have driving the BASS ship! It's comforting to know that someone as straight forward and humble as Chase is leading BASS.
I've always been and always will be a BASS fan, . . . Chase confirms this for Me.
Great Interview !!!!
Go BASS !!!, and God Bless .
Good Listen ! Good Questions ! Adapt , Overcome and Conquer ! Jesus is Lord and we can credit the resurgence of B.A.S.S to a leader that follows ! All good leaders are the best followers. The confession of Chase’s Faith in Christ is awesome ! I would Love to hear the testimony of Chase Anderson. What an awesome platform the Lord has given him.
I am so impressed with Chase! Thanks for sharing your Faith! Best interview yet!
Great podcast. The last question and how he answered spoke to me and look forward to expanding that relationship. Look forward to the next one.
Thank you Trait for sticking to your questions! There was a lot of dodging going on....
Chase answers questions like a politician I'm glad I'm not the only person that saw this.
Absolutely one of the greatest interviews I have seen to date about the fishing industry. It is a business that needs to be understood not only by the future anglers but the fans. The past management failed the industry and the anglers. Well done!
I can’t think of any better advice at the end of a podcast. Our return to God (Jesus) is our Only Hope…for He alone is King! Thank you Chris for asking that question…and thank you Chase for your answer!
Thoroughly enjoyed the interview. Trait and you posed some terrific questions that Chase fielded and answered well. All of the BASS Elite anglers should be required to view and digest the information that came out in this vid. Terrific job Trait and Chris!
Thanks Jack!!
Dude, knocking it out the park lately with these guests
🙏👊🏽
Good interview,
What I took away and had not realized was the timing of the defections and Chase becoming CEO.
I knew Boyd and is Apostles plan was to put Bass in a position to sell. If it was up to me none of them would be back at BASS.
They need BASSMASTER more than BASSMASTER needs them.
I think that’s why the split was rushed. They realized the new ownership might listen to anglers and make quality changes if given time to learn what all was going on internally.
@@Zaldaingerous Thank you for introducing us to Chase,
The silver lining of the events of 2018/19 and what Chase went through is, he has skin in the game, I am hoping he brings to BASSMASTER what it hasn't had since Ray Scott.
Best advice he could give, the Bible tells us we will find the Lord when we seek him with our whole heart. Put your bias, experiences, and opinions aside and search and see for yourself. Great podcast guys.
My favorite interview!
Another great discussion. Wish that Bassmaster would broadcast more than just certain times. Think the whole event would be great! My opinion.
Trait just talks over Chris in every one of these pods.
I talk over her, too. It is eye opening to see how some men handle a female co-host 😂
@@Zaldaingerous LOL this has absolutely nothing to do with man or woman so let’s not pull that card- it’s simply an observation of reality. Trait is the reason the podcast does well, she guides interviews professionally and keeps the guest engaged , Id argue shes the host and you the co-host. I believe its worth noting, however, that Trait sometimes gets a little over-zealous in this role, diminishing the experience of the guest, hindering Chris’s evolution as a host/ interviewer, and leaving the audience wondering “what did Chris have to say?”. I think it was Trait that said “talking about something doesn’t mean your being negative” so take your own advice and sort through the bad comments to hear what your listeners have to say… Its great podcast but that doesn’t mean it cant be improved with a more collaborative approach.
Awesome show, what a great guy...love Bassmasters even more
Love his brief testimony at the end. Seek and you shall find!
Came into watching the sport with MLF and recently started watching the elites. My opinion, as a fan, I enjoy watching MLF much more. coverage is just better and the catch and release format makes sense. But coming from someone who has never been to an event so I understand the importance of a weigh in and attendance.
They are definitely two different models when it comes to in person fan experience, etc.
@@Zaldaingerous yup. Guessing BASS is better for the angler.
If bass was a non profit organization it would be better for anglers across the board. All the way down through the opens to the bass nation series.
I think if Bassmaster incorporated TH-cam anglers like pairing TH-cam anglers with a pro in a team tournament scenario it could help grow B.A.S.S. and bass fishing in general TH-cam anglers typically have a younger demographic which are the future of the sport and a lot of the younger TH-cam viewers don't follow bass as a sport and just enjoy the content of fishing doing something along those lines could potentially build an awesome bridge between the 2 just look at how much Miliken has helped since he fished the opens and had 2 top 10 finishes in the 1st 2 tournaments so far in the elites its kinda been pros vs youtubers so far work together and it could go a long way it was pretty cool seeing Chris and Hood Fishing win that tournament js
Best intro beat in bass fishing podcasts haha! Keep em coming!
I didn’t get the audio at first but Trait wanted it and here we are… it works!
When will this podcast be available on podcast platforms?
Good to hear from Chase! Good listen for sure.
Thanks for listening 👊🏽
Your studio is so sick! Just need a tiny bit more light, mostly on chris' & the guest's faces 😁
Good podcast. Enjoying these interviews!
A great great podcast Chris and Trait !!
🙏👊🏽
Great interview, certainly learned a lot about Chase’s perspective on the business. Always love the confusion at the beginning of each podcast on how to use the headphones and mike…lol.
Haha people watch the podcast but then they walk in and see how tiny the set is and it throws them for a loop
It would be wonderful to have an audio only option of Bass live for the working man. Some places I go service is terrible and video doesn’t do well. Plus it’s easier on phone battery
You’d think someone would make a streaming app that allows you to kill the video stream but keep the audio 🤔
Didn't really even talk about the act of fishing much, that's what makes a good fishing podcast/video in my mind. There needs to be a Patreon membership though where we hear all the questions Trait didn't get to in the interview.
That’s the good part about having BTL and all the other fishing podcasts out there. They talk a whole lot of fishing so we are trying to find another lane.
This was definitely a but kissing interview..according to this interview b
Everything is 100% perfect nothing to change.. thats what it looks like when your telling a man he is perfect..
I know this 1 is going to be a great show, I mean they all are but I'm glad to hear the juice
Wow. Chase appears to be an incredible person. But not a single question on his feelings toward forward facing sonar? The biggest controversy in the sport? Hopefully you can ask him next time
The elite are the top of the pyramid followed by the opens or EQ qualifiers.
The Question is BASS going to do work on the Bass Nation for the weekend warriors similar to the BFL , or they going to let MLF have that piece of Pie.
Totally agree..build the Nation to like BFL... not some guy with a laundry basket weighing fish and a Bass sign held up by pvc
Trait, don't get mad. I'm trying to help. I want to see you guys become even more successful. One thing I think that would help you and Chris is controlling the use of the word "Like". God bless, take care and good luck 👍
I never realized the timeline between Anderson ownership and the split...it makes where B.A.S.S. is now more impressive...
Most don’t understand. A lot of dirty tactics in the timing of the split and how the other side handled it so the anglers didn’t have a chance to really get to know the knew ownership and vise versa
So here's a question! How do u follow a guy like Boyd over a guy that talks and has a business sense about him like Mr Chase has?
Exactly
Ok how come you didn't ask him why there aren't any California tournament
Great interview!
Nice interview! I really enjoy your channel.
Thanks Chris 👊🏽
Amen! Great life advice
Great podcast
Brilliant!
This is awesome!
Cool interview and this guy is interesting but he comes across as shifty. Well done to Trait for asking real questions. As a casual fan I wish I understood how the tours work, how do I know who's doing great and why without all the commercialism of the tour product, that's what I can do with mainstream sports. It would be so cool to hear the head of Bassmaster talking about a cooperative with the anglers and transparency. If this guy can help present great fishing and fisherman then good on him. I worry the money will end up being the only compass.
He is a ceo .. he is a owner not worker .. he has to read people and please them for them to keep making his future and money..
He’s nothing special. Typical CEO milk toast responses and dances around hard hitting questions. Talks about transparency and communication but admits to not being transparent about financials with the key money makers of the industry because “they don’t get it” he’s there to insure the family will make their money and that’s it. I don’t see him making any kind of major key moves to really advance the industry or BASS. I’ve worked with multiple billion dollar corporations over the years and companies that are paying their workers fairly have zero issues being transparent about their financials so him dancing around that question has me guessing that they’re paying out way less than they can and writing it off as “I’m not explaining it to you because you wouldn’t understand”
I’m late to the party, lol. But yeah he gave very corporate general answers to some of the easy questions. If he was afraid to respond to them, something’s up.
Amen!
Interesting segment!
Thanks for watching, Brent!
Good cop bad cop routine 😆 Go TRAIT!!
Does any one else have trouble hearing them or is it just me?
Just you haha
@@PHATBASSASSASSIN Figures 😆
The audio was double checked before recording and everything was set up correctly
@@Zaldaingerous copy that. I just got home from work and tried my other ear buds and its on point. Sorry for that guys.
The audio is good, but I always have to turn up the volume when they speak. The intro is extremely loud.
Great to see Trait on here. Nice to hear the women’s point of view also.
What i see is just another person born on third and thinks he hit a triple. Very capable folks who did the WORK to learn the business got passed up cause this dudes family has money. And businesses cant understand why we have less and less loyalty to our employers.
B.A.S.S. Come back to Toledo Bend!
It is insulting for him to say that most Pro Anglers wouldn’t understand the numbers.
AFTER we established that Pro Anglers are small business owners.
As someone who sits in the group angler meetings, he’s not wrong. Most anglers need to look at it as being a business owner but they don’t and that’s the problem.
Thanks for the Tundra! If you know you know.
A owner will never admit to a employee that a sale Rumer is true .. that is how deals get canceled..
He’s also not going to publicly deny when asked on record because that could set up issues, as well. And I’m not an employee. I’m a contractor.
“Our family took over”
That’s a pretty normal phrase for someone who went from a minority owner to a majority owner. It wasn’t like it was a hostile takeover
Trait is awesome!
You guys talk about the split alot I am not the biggest fan I have no idea what the split was about or that it even happened bit I feel like you guys are still kinda hurt about the split in some way being it happened 4 years ago I live the dirt and drama lol so I am not trying to harp on you by any means I love the podcast love you guys as a team and family I am new to you guys as a fan but I am here to stay a fan yall are a class act I hope one day I can meet yall I don't really fallow bass fishing like lots of other fans but I love it as a sport or hobby we say don't California montana it's fucking ridiculous I can't even buy a house in bozeman now it was always expensive but now I am priced out
We hadn’t really talked about what happened publicly until this past year. You’d be surprised at how many MLF anglers have reached out to say they are glad we are talking about things. Maybe a few will be on for podcasts soon 😉
Lol where can I get that shirt chris?

Bassmaster gives you the opportunities to win hundreds of thousands ... sounded like you guys where saying you need sponsorships and social media deals to actually make a living because the platform dose not give enough..
Only 8-10 events a season and 104 anglers on tour, so the chances of winning the $100k are very slim. So yes, the 94 anglers who don’t win have to figure out other ways to capitalize each season in order to guarantee a decent income stream that’s not fully reliant on tournament results.
@@Zaldaingerous he is the casino anglers are gamblers
So this guy owns BASS ?
Yes
👍
Good grief, Chris. Ask questions, don’t just kiss up to your boss
New sponsorship bass pro guarantee pay ..
Super vanilla interview. You ask all the tough questions to anglers that should directed to management. Then you get management on and don’t ask one single tough question.
If we look at it as platform, then we can't call it a sport.
The NFL is a platform for Mahomes to sell shoes but it doesn’t mean it’s not a sport?
Build the Nation to like the BFL affordable grassroots "professional " league and give guys a chance to compete in B.A.S.S and make 5k. The opens have turned into Elite qualifiers. Strong roots will grow a good tree. And give young anglers a place to grow. Ps Every Elite angler gets a check.. if they are on TV they deserve it and Elite victory 150k and classic 500k.... Strong Nation can fund Elites
Get Milliken on here so yall can talk bout big swimbaits.
Isn't "pride" a sin Chase?
Why aren't you a Hindu? Or a follower of Zeus?
It's because through no fault of your own, you grew up in America and weren't raised in the other 3000 religions that have come and gone over the millennia.
Have you looked into all the other religions? If the safety of your eternal soul hinges on you choosing the right religion, don't you think you should look into all the others to make sure you are walking the correct path?
Why, if we go to hell, are we punished with infinite torture for committing finite sins?
Does that seem fair?
If one of your kids, hits the other, do you think eternal punishment for such a brief lapse in behaviour would be fair?
Of course not.
That's what the god of the bible does.
Eternal punishment for a slight lapse in judgment.
What about someone that never sinned? Should they be killed? Ofc not, but that is what Jesus did for all of us. He became sin for us who knew no sin so that by putting our faith in Jesus we are no longer seen a sinner! Sounds like an incredibly loving and merciful God to do that for someone as unworthy as me!
@@johnjoyce3371 You are no longer seen as a sinner if you put your faith in Jesus?
1. People who have faith in Jesus, who have committed horrendous crimes aren't seen as sinners?
2. Wouldn't an "incredibly loving and merciful God" simply leave you alone and let you enjoy freedom, instead of acting like an ever present dictator, just waiting for you to slip up (even though she could have stopped you) and then torturing you for eternity in hell?
It's not freedom if you are forever subject to the whims of a god who can torture you forever, whenever they want.
How is eternal hell fire merciful exactly?
Enjoyed this interview...Chase seems like a good fit to run B.A.S.S. as compared to a typical profit is all that matters bean counter...he gets it.
MLF / Duckett / after poaching so many of the Elite anglers that were just trying to improve their income situation, comes across as way too commercialized, that league reminds me of that LIV golf thingy...and most guys aren't ecstatic about having to call Boyd their boss.
So glad that Brandon Palaniuk, Greg Hackney, Jason Christie, Gerald Swindle, Michael Iaconelli, Larry Nixon, Keith Poche, Ish Monroe and Bobby Lane working their ways back to the Elites...plus more...hope Skeet and Brent Ehrler.....head back to the Elites where they belong.
Skeet is actually one of the owners at MLF and pushes the same rhetoric that Boyd does. A big reason why I stayed at Bassmaster was his rhetoric during the split week 🚩
@@Zaldaingerous Exactly, Skeet is a Boyd wanna be.
