Charlie Hartley

Let's do this US OPEN CHAMPION!!!

8:29

Rain day, stuck in office, bring me some bass joy!!!

Watching from PA

Speaking of the BPT, I think the move to no entry fees is a huge step forward to making professional bass fishing legit.

8:36

Your idea may be a great one, but I think that most bassfans are still recovering from the BPT shake-up and think we don't need another venue to screw things up.

cus from NY

8:38

Like the no-entry fee. Good for the long term.

ChadInCanada

8:39

This move by the BPT proves without a doubt, that BASS "could have" done the right thing and did this years ago. But, they were happy to just make the anglers pay while BASS lined their pockets.

8:41

Chad in Canada: that's a truth.

Charlie Hartley

8:42

ME!!!

8:43

Hell, I'm fun to watch!!!

BASS is scrambling to remain relevant. They are in survival-mode. If BPT is as successful as they should be, BASS and FLW will be reduced to AAA feeder series.

Charlie, you're at the top of the list buddy!

Jake in Ohio

8:45

The MLF "format" is pretty convoluted...if you need a flow chart to get to a champion I think you're over thinking it.

ChadInCanada

8:47

Jake in Ohio: I think a Rubik's Cube is less difficult to figure out than the MLF event flow chart...

David F. - Dallas

BPT is pushing how many hours of TV exposure there will be. However, no one has said how of that is going to be live and real time.

Chris-NH

8:49

I think that them not being live makes it pointless

lds

8:49

BASS is owned by a media company, BPT has one as a partner. FLW is owned by an individual. Profit is the #1 motivation.

David - WI

8:49

I don’t know why people keep saying BASS is going under. Yes, they are reacting to the massive pullout but it’s th

BASS is still b

lds

8:53

Davie- WI: but can they draw the crowds without a KVD, Mike I, etc?

David - WI

8:53

BASS is still BASS. Unless they screw up massively or are involved in a controversy, they should be ok. It’ll be interesting to see how things play out.

Chris-NH

8:53

Could you imagine watching the super bowl 6 months after it happened. Only bass fan will watch

ChadInCanada

8:53

David - WI: I don't think BASS is going under, they are just being replaced as the top tour.

Philmanchu

8:53

Test

Chris-NH

8:53

So you cant go to events and watch such waste

cus from NY

8:53

Maybe Hackney wanted to stir the pot a little with BASS and see if they would invite Duckett since he was next in line.

David - WI

8:54

The question pro anglers will have to answer in 3 years is “guaranteed paycheck or no entry fees?

Chris-NH

8:54

Bass is fine theres plenty of pros to fish and people will want to see the new faces

David - WI

8:57

It may be a bit harder for BASS since the popular name guys left but hey, most of the MLF guys will be working the Classic Expo for their sponsors so fans will have a chance to meet them there lol

cus from NY

8:58

The peanut icon allows you to rate a comment... guess from the peanut gallery. Nice feature.

Charlie Hartley

8:58

Didn't even know I was on a list???

Chris-NH

9:03

Yeah that is pretty cool thanks for pointing it out

David - WI

9:07

Will Scott considering fishing the Opens since it’s win and in for the Classic?
