0PERFORMANCES , PERFORMERS AND SHINING MOMENTS THAT DEFINED THE CRAZIEST TOURNAMENT SEASON TO DATE
By Joel Shangle and Justin Onslow
In tournament bass fishing , as in life , December is a time to reflect back on the year that was .
This year , especially , that practice is particularly important , thanks in large part to a pandemic that shattered lives and upended norms , impacting everyone and everything in some way . The impact COVID-19 has had on the bass fishing world is substantial , highlighted by perhaps the most unusual and eventful tournament season to date . But in spite of everything that changed , many things did not . People still fished . Checks were won and records were smashed . The world , in defiance of a virus that continues to change the way we go about our lives , kept on spinning .
And so , to fully appreciate the year that was , we want to turn attention to the performers , performances and shining moments that brought normalcy back to a year fraught with anything but .
