The Bassmaster Elite Series will be without one of its marquee competitors when it conducts its rescheduled event at the Sabine River in Texas June 7-10. Mike Iaconelli notified BassFan in a text message today that he won't be among the field.
"It conflicts with a prior obligation that I am committed to and can't get out of," Iaconelli wrote.
He was in meetings all day today, but said he'd provide more details soon.
The tournament was originally slated to be held this week, but was postponed due to flooded conditions throughout the watershed.
