the way I understand it he was just outside the cut and would have had to compete in the Bassmaster Classic Bracket on Carters Lake in Georgia this past October (2018) to get in. He chose not to and effectively ended his Elite Series career and began his transition into Major League Fishing...
According to Bassfan.com Hackney said “I just had some obligations I had to take care of”...

Can someone explain to me how Hackney didn't qualify to fish this?


I was wondering that myself, saw he was at the Louisiana Sportsman's Show


His best days are behind him.

Ott just caught a chunk. The one he caught before was small, he said he thought he caught joe. Joe mother is what it sounded like. Strange structure he fishing by now. Its a huge arse boat shed.

Thanks for coming and spending money! It’s a scruffy little town trying to find its identity but it’s not a bad place no crazy weather safe affordable and lots of outdoor stuff to do few hours to the coast if you are into that kind of thing but 9 hrs drive from tiger stadium, and we have a shitty airport.

We really enjoyed Knoxville
Especially the proximity of the venues
The boat ramp was only 5 minutes from the expo so I could work our booth and go get Gerald and then we’d start getting tuned up
It was fun

He didn’t do too well but he was there fishing his tail off.
Congrats to Gerald and Derek Hudnall. Honor to make the BMC.
