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.⁠
