Weaver pulls out of final two BPT events

MLF announced to day that Joshua Weaver of Macon, Ga. has withdrawn from the final two Bass Pro Tour events of 2024, including this week’s tournament at the James River, due to undisclosed personal reasons.

Weaver, a first-year BPT competitor, sits in 76th place out of 80 anglers in the points standings.

Kelly Jordon has been moved from Group B to Group A to even the fields at 39 anglers each for the event this week.

Bass Pro Tour Tournament Director Daniel Fennel has also enacted the MLF’s trailering policy at the James River and it will be in effect for each day of competition. Anglers can launch at any public boat launch within the tournament boundaries on the James River and can also put their boat back on the trailer and drive to a different boat ramp during competition hours, if they so choose.

The event gets under way Tuesday and runs through Sunday.
