Jason from Canada

I think the Grudge match idea from a few weeks back was a good idea

Matt from MN

9:42

Not sure i agree with cutoff, maybe cutoff Basstrack but keep live stream

Big Paulie LI,NY

9:41

Zoom Brush Hog ,Super Hog and a Berkley Chigger Craw....Go to work...><>

Andy-IN

9:39

Most that like BASS are traditional people. MLF has older and probably more younger fans.

Mark-Minnesota

9:39

All the anglers who are big time hunters will be silently pissed. It will seriously disrupt their hunting season but I see no other way if they want to get the derbys in this year.

Matt from MN

9:36

Just buy the BFE! LOL

Andy-IN

We will be looking for the video.

9:35

Mark is the master of the tease

Maynard

9:34

Better watch for Rick Clunn in the Fall !

Andy-IN

9:33

Matt, did you at least prepare yourself with a Sharpie to sign the bill for Jason?

chris-Virginia

9:33

we need tournaments in the fall and the winter. get to see more techniques and everyone wants to see how people catch in tough conditions. tough condition tournaments are the best.

Andy-IN

9:33

Excuse me. There are... I've got smarts real good

Matt from MN

9:33

I'd love to see fall tourneys, I think at this point its almost a guarantee we'll see some stuff in the fall

Andy-IN

9:32

Come to IN Charlie. Their are some good lakes.

Scott from Indy

9:32

Water will go from 70 yesterday to probably 50 early next week here in IN,IL. Fish were on the bank. I wonder what will happen to the fish being this late for a cold front to last 10 + days. Weird for mid April.

Charlie Hartley

9:31

It's Killing me!!!

Mike - WI

9:31

Wisconsin just closed 40 parks which includes some public launches.

Dave

9:30

Mark has this part right. IMO. Kill the weigh-ins. Need to get the fans involved. Have the pros do a postgame deal at the expo! MLF BPT is on the money bringing general public to the sport.

Andy-IN

9:29

We also have seen so many people fishing the banks that they had already pulled back to suspend over deeper water.

9:28

My family and I went to a lake here in IN. The water temps went from 60 this past Sunday to 73 yesterday. Full moon this Tuesday. They have already flooded the banks this far north.

Dave W-SC

9:27

Or have those interviews on the show. Show the fans behind the scenes and not just on the water

Michael Cole

9:26

I wish these groups would quit trying to "grow the sport" every lake we go to is over crowded. Literally get in line and take a number

Charlie Hartley

9:26

I love BTL!!!

Scott from Indy

9:26

Mark is spot on! If Anyone who doesn't know who won the classic by now will not by watching ESPN2 on a Sunday morning months later. Everyone does not give a damn about Bass fishing. Even the people who dont watch the classic live stream follow it on social media and know who won..

River Rat Tackle

9:25

Love these shows!

Dave

9:25

Matt is obviously bitter about the Costa deal. Admit it that MLF BPT is bringing in more general population.

Peter in Michigan

9:25

Time to break out the Rock'um Sock'um robots!!!

JD - Illinois

9:25

BPT Produced shows were horrible. They cut out so much of the good stuff that was live and just showed the final day. Watched only one show and never went back to it.

Andy-IN

9:25

I would say that they might as well produce the show as you don't know who won. I would only watch if I haven't seen the Live coverage. Same with the BPT. I only watched 3 of the shows from last year because I watched them all live.

Mark-Minnesota

9:24

Sprague won the first one and J-Proz won the next. The 3rd cup has just started airing now. I don't mind the filmed in the dark events. The Classic, on the other hand has 50 yrs. of history behind it.

Chris

9:24

Basssmaster classic needs to be live on tv plain and simple. Play 2 days live on fishing network final day on a major station. That’s it

Kirk

9:24

I have to agree with Matt on this one

Chris in Kansas

9:24

What kind of viewer numbers is BASS getting for the classic after show? Maybe it's not big enough to worry about.

Dave

9:14

Great idea Nenad to add to that the weigh in thing is old news.

Mark-Minnesota

9:14

Mark is the modern day Norm., if you remember Letteman from back in the day. He had a producer who wore the same thing everyday. I had a Chemistry prof. in college who did as well.

john stoughtenger

9:14

Mark, I agree that B.A.S.S should move the classic to a summer/ Fall classic. Opens the event up to any body of water. I would love to see a classic on 1000 Islands

Big Paulie LI,NY

9:14

I'd say 110% of the fans know who won ;)

Matt from MN

9:14

Think about the sponsor benefit of having the classic winner in their booth the day after they won, huge upside for sponsors
