Great Show...….again.

Joe-FL

9:41

Tackle Warehouse group only has 7136 people. It is not a priority guys.

TOS-Matt

9:40

DraftKings and Fanduel make a TON off "the rake" and if they can make a little more on FF they may try it.

Andy-IN

9:40

You better keep the fans that you have.

Jake in Ohio

9:40

Golf, MMA, Nascar, Tennis & Esports are some of the off the wall sports.

Andy-IN

9:37

Stetson Blaylock apologized to my son for his pour fantasy fishing performance. He turned that around.

BEN-MN

9:37

I dont like mlf. but i like fantasy fishing, mlf would get my interaction and attention with fantasy fishing.

Philmanchu

9:36

Agree Mark.

Joe-FL

9:35

Mark is 1000% correct

9:34

@TOS Matt the issue is that people "general public" don't recognize Bass Fishing as a sport

Binkwood

9:34

Fantasy fishing exists to draw people in to be advertised to, why would MFL care how difficult it is to pick winners? And why would they pass up an opportunity to draw in consumers?

Jake in Ohio

9:34

Mark, DK has even gotten into some WWE pick 'em stuff. They would entertain adding fishing.

Philmanchu

9:33

Fantasy fishing is fun!

TOS-Matt

Guys, you know the idea I've had for a while...

9:33

the rest of the world could give a bleep about "insert sport here" but there are customer bases to market it to.

Jake in Ohio

9:33

Draft Kings does ESports... they just to sit with MLF, BASS or FLW.

Joe-FL

9:33

That's the point Matt. You target who care about bass fishing. MLF says they are trying to target other people, who will never care. Mistake

Jake in Ohio

9:31

LOL!

Joe-FL

9:31

Seems like they are retracting a lot of stuff

Jake in Ohio

9:31

They just don't think it's a priority at this point...

Andy-IN

9:30

I really like MLF but they need to add Fantasy Fishing ASAP and re-think excluding their anglers from BASS and FLW tournaments. Big mistake.

matt in AL

9:30

The real question is will i buy what my fantasy angler is selling? Will I support their sponsor and will the sponsors profit

Philmanchu

9:29

Just make the fantasy teams large (10-15).

Joe-FL

9:29

@Jake good point

Jake in Ohio

9:28

Joe - they can set it up like Draft Kings does with golf tournaments.

David - WI

9:28

with Boyd saying that their trying to make the 2020 Red Crest event a great event, it makes me want to save my time and gas and not go to the La Crosse event even though it's in my home state

Joe-FL

Also I think it will pad the stats as it does for B.A.S.S. and did for FLW

9:27

Doing Fantsy fishing with MLF will be so much more difficult. Think about all the days and rounds, The format just isn't set up for it IMO

Andy-IN

9:27

My wife doesn't watch any Bass podcasts so she does research on anglers to fill out her fantasy picks.

matt in AL

9:26

Fantasy fishing helps the brands of the anglers.

Jake in Ohio

9:25

MLF is severely underestimating the fantasy appeal...

9:24

Matt you are 100% right. Jordan and Matt Lee are perfect examples. Matt has said it himself.

Philmanchu

9:24

Man, are you right Mark! I thought Kennedy was going to dominate up to this point.

Binkwood

9:21

Before taxes and expenses maybe, and KVD is the BEST ever to fish, the other 9.99999 are gamblers and without sponsorship (which is getting more and more spread out) they'd be broke

Dave-SC

Except the freaking traffic

9:20

If he qualifies for the Bassmaster Classic he will be the 2nd person from Summerville, SC to fish it.

Brad-Huskerland

9:17

Go BIg Red!, can't wait to see Jamie Nance!

Philmanchu

9:17

I would like to personally thank Patrick for his contribution to my fantasy team.

Joe-Fl
