Elizabeth Montgomery was one of the most popular actors from the 1950s to her unfortunate passing from cancer in 1995. Before, during, and after her benchmark Emmy-nominated role as twitch-witch Samantha Stephens on TV's Bewitched (ABC, 1964-1972), Montgomery made over 200 additional appearances in other weekly shows, TV-movies, and feature films.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Today, B.A.S.S. made the announcement everyone has been waiting for: Live sonar will NOT be banned for the 2025 season. Instead, the anglers in the Bassmaster Elite Series and contenders for the Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Classic presented by Jockey Outdoors must now follow new equipment standardization rules that put significant guardrails on what and how much technology can be used. How in the world did the worldwide authority on bass fishing come to that decision? Well, I’m about to tell you. I was on the technology committee that made the recommendation. I know, half of you reading this now think I’m an idiot (if you didn’t already) and likely will not read the justifications. Your loss, in my opinion.

“Change is inevitable. Growth is optional.” — Prominent author and leadership expert John C. Maxwell. As B.A.S.S. announces a new standardization of equipment initiative for Bassmaster Elite Series competition, anglers and fishing fans alike may naturally be polarized about changes introduced to tournament fishing as they know it. This was no knee-jerk decision — the standardization was discussed, options were weighed and ramifications of the standardization were considered for a year, long before any changes or tweaks to the longstanding system were implemented.

Why the new standardization rules?

There’s no debating the fact that live sonar, or forward-facing sonar as it’s often referred to, has had an impact on the Bassmaster Elite Series and how events are playing out. In addition to the changes made by B.A.S.S. to standardize equipment, another huge step being taken is to create a diverse schedule that doesn’t lend itself exclusively to live sonar.

It's been eight years since beloved former child star and Oscar-winning actress Patty Duke died from sepsis (a ruptured intestine) at only 69 in 2016. She was also the recipient of two Golden Globes, three Emmys, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In the 1960s, she was the star of her own TV sitcom. In the mid-1980s, she served as President of the Screen Actors Guild. Through it all, she was married four times (including once to actor John Austin), had three sons, and never stopped acting. This is her tragic yet triumphant story.

One trend we have seen on the Bassmaster Elite Series over the past couple of seasons is the addition of electric motors mounted to shallow water anchors. Many anglers saw the additional motors as overkill. Others thought the extra motors made the use of live sonar a little too easy. And other anglers felt these motors would make rules infractions like trolling and long-lining impossible to identify. These voices were heard.
