American Bass Anglers, a fishing tournament organization based in Alabama, is getting some backlash from fishermen who claim they haven’t been paid their proper winnings.
Several anglers who fished an ABA military tournament this spring say their prize checks bounced, and according to WAFF-48, those fishermen are still waiting to get paid. That includes the tourney’s winners, who were looking at a $1,900 payout for their first-place finish. The ABA’s president, Morris Sheehan, released an official statement that same day and chalked up the problem to a banking error. But Slick Johnson, an influencer (and instigator) in the competitive bass-fishing space, says the ABA’s payment problem goes back further than the most recent military tournament. In a video he posted Friday, Johnson claimed this issue has been going on for months.
