The NFL is smart. If you TALK about the XFL, you give it exposure and power.

TOS-Matt

9:28

Gettin' too close, OK?!

Joe-FL

9:28

He just made a great point. There isn't enough to go around for everyone in this industry.

TOS-Matt

9:27

The NFL even had a vested interest in the new league. They let them air their games on the NFL channel too.

David - WI

9:26

I agree with Chad. BASS will be the feeder system because MLF can't do it themselves!

Joe-FL

9:24

Best caller of the day!

TOS-Matt

9:24

Leroy: Haven't heard that one. I heard something about a pro using non-sponsored rod though

ChadInCanada

9:24

He's right BASS isn't going anywhere. The will continue to be the feeder league to the BPT...

Joe-FL

9:24

Give this dude the prize!

Craig Taylor,Oneida Lake

9:23

MLF needs to come up with a different name that the Red Crest,it’s like a PGA event claiming they’re the fifth major !

David - WI

9:23

Leroy from KY - I believe the incident you are referring to involved Keith Poche

Jim in Indiana

9:23

Massive Classic 2020 crowd will be there in protest.

Jake in Ohio

9:23

LOL Matt

Jasonkayak

9:22

Brian in CA get a yak and join KBF! Affordable competition with great payouts!

Leroy from KY

9:22

what MLF angler was told he wasn't live and was using a non sponsor line & was seen not using it?

Binkwood

9:18

Increased fishing pressure = reduced fishing quality

Jasonkayak

9:18

FLW and KBF will be joining together at Lake Chickamauga so the masses can see how this format works! May 4th and 5th. I think Matt and Mark need to come over and fish!!

Dennis in IL

9:15

I think that all this crap with BASS/MLF/FLW is growing the sport alright ! Growing it more expensive to the common bass fisherman !

BRIAN IN CA

9:15

Not able to call in but when i hear grow the sport. i don't know if the anglers can do it. The boat industry needs to provide some affordable product new angles can get into! 70,000 for 19 feet of fiberglass will turn away alot of people. Out here on the Detla 1 in 20 boats are

Binkwood

9:15

Paul Elias did a video on his Facebook page outlining why he and many others left BASS and the financial aspects of why they left. I agree with Chad, BASS didn't sound too "loyal" to anyone but themselves.

Jasonkayak

9:15

At kayak bass fishing events we use CPR catch photo release. To add drama to the weigh in we shut the leader board off! That way you have that anticipation at the end!

Joe-FL

9:15

The final day of the Masters is on a Sunday, the Superbowl is on a Sunday. Can't have it both ways

Jim in Indiana

9:14

Maybe you can put weight slips in a bag of water, and weigh in and punch in the weight number. Could have a couple "decoy" bass in a tank on stage, for everyone to hold up and show off!

ChadInCanada

9:10

It's easy for BASS to be "loyal" when the anglers have to hand over a cheque for $55,000/year. I'd be pretty "loyal" too...

TOS-Matt

9:10

David-WI: Absolutely. They learn about all players and not just their favorite team.

David - WI

9:08

I've seen the impact of fantasy football on guys who didn't care about football. It made those guys more serious football fans.

THE BTL CREW

9:08

THE SUNLINE HOTLINE 405-253-5543

Jim in Indiana

9:08

Matt ...would have loved to see your co-anglers face, when you said" they're gone ...let's head back"!

Leroy from KY

9:06

my fantasies dont involve fishermen... just sayin

ChadInCanada

9:05

I thought you guys were going to get the BASS Conservation rep on the show?

9:04

If you switch to the MLF format, the regs about culling won't effect you.

TOS-Matt

9:03

SM: you're correct. More than any other factor it's water levels and prolonged excessive current every year since 2013. Last stable year was 2012 when we had a dry season

Joe-FL

9:03

It should be consistent though Matt

9:02

Great point Austin. Also there is more to conservation than just releasing fish

Jim in Indiana

9:02

IIRC ....KVD was talking "union" 15 or so years ago. Sad to say .... I think the time is near.

clay from ark

9:02

good point chad. I bet they'll sell white rods at every classic expo from here on out

David - WI

9:01

Duckett Rods didn't have a booth at the Classic this year so I don't think so

9:01

Getting grass established where there isn't any isn't an easy task. Unless its a constant level lake it comes and goes depending on conditions. High water on Kentucky Lake has been the issue for the grass.

ChadInCanada

9:01

TOS-Matt: Good question! Boyd sells rods/reels. Will he boycott the Expo?

Trey - TN

9:01

I agree Chad
