Thanks Mark. Excellent job

Jake in Ohio

Great job today Mark. Can't say I agree with a lot of what BD thinks of the industry but you did a good job being fair.

Being a member of fishers of men. Ive heard we are starting a events doing MLF style tourny. Could that be a route for MLF?

Great questions Dennis! That was some serious CRAP! But they pulled it in the end.

Boyd, don't ban your pros from attending/participating in other expos. To me on the outside looking in, it shows you fear the other expos and want to artificially push BPT to be number one. Act like number one, do positive things that will make BPT number one, and THAT will make BPT number one. Not fear.

Brian from Lake Norman

4 tournament in, whats the biggest gripe from the BPT anglers?

matt in AL

9:37

what is up with the college event mentioned on mlf site but we have no clue about it?

Andy-IN

9:35

My wife still focuses on BASS because of Fantasy fishing. It is a must for 2020!

Dennis in IL

9:33

If they are not at war with BASS why did they do the commercial on 5 bass limits that pissed people off !

HARDTIMER50

9:33

has all this hurt your personal performance

With 3 major trails now in play, why do we not have any bass fishing in the Fall of the year when some of the best fishing is happening. It blows my mind.

ChadInCanada

I want to know, if BPT will go live on YouTube? I am watching BTL right now on my SmartTV. I can watch BASS Live and FLW Live on my SmartTV. But gave up TRYING to watch BPT. Too painful.

9:31

YOUTUBE!

Brian from Lake Norman

9:31

Personally all the bass heads I know over the age of 50 only know tournaments by ESPN2 shows, when I tell them you can stream everything, they say thats too complicated, the TNN outdoors generation will never change

Jake in Ohio

"We talkin' 'bout PRACTICE"

ChadInCanada

Do what is right for your vision. There will always be complainers... Especially in bass tournaments.

9:30

Making your own platform to stream is reinventing the wheel. Especially if your streaming sucks. I gave up watching BPT due to streaming issues. My bet is that I'm not alone...

josh-Mo

9:30

It seems that nearly the same guys are in the top 10/20 each tournament. why are the veterens struggling so much?

Blake - South Knoxville, TN

9:28

What is Boyd's personal feelings on practice? From the interviews i've heard with andy morgan and many others, they would like to get rid of practice.

Andy-IN

3 major tour events in 1 week really sucked. I want separation!

9:24

What is the game plan to get the streaming issues rectified?

Peter

9:22

With all of the success you've experienced this year, and all of the momentum, what do you think will be the tour's first major challenge?

Jake in Ohio

9:19

And if someone disagrees, Chad.....they'll buy up everything and MAKE you like!!

ChadInCanada

9:15

BPT is the evolution of the sport. BASS should have done it, but they have lost their way as the leader of the sport since Ray sold it.

Joe-FL

9:15

Never going to be able to happen. Unfortunately people cheat in Kayak length only events by cutting tails'

Jake in Ohio

9:15

Mark, we've had MLF style tournaments locally in small settings. The issue is having boat officials.

Joe-FL

9:15

We can't all have boat officials

ChadInCanada

9:15

Buy FLW. It will give BPT what it needs (grass roots, infrastructure, seasoned staff) while taking out a major competitor. Then all focus has to be BPT or BASS for the fans and eventually evolution will take care of the rest...

Jake in Ohio

9:13

Chad's on his soap box again! ; )

ChadInCanada

9:11

Here in BC, Canada, we are not allowed to keep live bass in a live well. So, we've been fishing immediate catch and release tournaments for decades. It's the right thing to do if you really value the bass and the fishery.

9:02

I compare what has happened with the formation of BPT to what happened to horse buggy makers when Henry Ford introduced the Model T.

Basszilla

9:02

OK. Good luck to MLF. We will see what happens over the next couple years. The leagues are clearly at WAR.

Binkwood

9:02

I get MLF wants to control their advertising but streaming on You Tube would bring a lot more eyes for a lot more time than what they are currently doing!

ChadInCanada

9:01

Making competitive bass fishing mainstream was Ray Scott's "brainstorm in a rain storm."

8:54

Maynard: FLW and BASS became Triple A feeder leagues last September... :)

josh-Mo

8:54

They did until they raised their prices this year. each leauge has lost 60-100 boats a tourny.

steve in Mi

8:53

Anything to report on the Feeder Series.
