Is there not a lady contender this year?? 

I think there is a formula for a woman to qualify from that tour, I don't believe one lady get's an invite each year.

There was no WBT last year.

Ah......didn't know that.  I actually just read that they eliminated the WBT totally.  Sad really.  Women deserve a chance to fish professionally too.  Why not just open up all competitions completely to women and men, or is it already that way on some level and I just don't know it?? 

If I'm not mistaken the ladies can fish any of the opens and try to qualify that way. It seems I read that somewhere.

Women can qualify to fish any BASS event.

They have the same opportunities as men.

They can fish B.A.S.S. professionally. I think the women pros have also put together a woman's circuit. I was just talking to one of them last weekend at a show. If I understood her correctly I believe that was what she was telling me.
