Is Pipkens going to stay in the camper?

Dave

9:38

In order for BASS to stay competitive, does Brandon think the Elite’s need to get to a no entry fee’s? Moving forward what does Brandon think has to change on the BASS Elite side for it to attract “Elite pro’s”?

Stu in AL

9:38

@stu in GA it’s more of

matt in al

9:38

My point is that the Classic is open to anyone from College to nation to fishing the opens. MLF killed the cup and limited the red crest to BPTers. MLF is saying college anglers and the bfl anglers and costa anglers and flw pro tour angler is not worthy of the Redcrest. But I m to support the sponsors of the BPT/redcrest.

Cole-Indy

9:38

Does he regret leaving BASS or is he glad he gave MLF a shot?

Dave

9:34

Brandon is avoiding specific answers to alot of questions....Realize he has to be "careful" but come on!

Josh the painter

9:33

More like they switched from the unforseen route to a more stable one

Steve-GA

9:33

@Stu you are uninformed. It's like free lunch. Someone always has to pay for it!

Jeff in Texas

9:33

I have to agree with Josh the painter. People don’t realize how good you have to be almost as good as the guys on the elites. It’s like Brian Scalabrine in the NBA. People used to talk smack to him and say he sucked and then he’d play him in pickup and he’d completely dominate. He would say, “People don’t realize how good at basketball you have to be to be the worst player in the NBA.”

Steve-GA

9:32

@Stu he said he had to pay a fee to terminate the contract.

Philmanchu

9:31

I really like some of the young guns in BASS. Didn't think that would happen.

Dave

9:31

What one thing did Brandon dislike most about the MLF BPT?

Stu in AL

9:29

On one side of the scale; Passion for the emblem -BASS on the other, changing the sport to help the overall cost to compete. BMP & G tipped to the emblem

9:28

He dodged the payout question

Dave

9:27

agree Ty!

Josh the painter

9:27

I think B.A.S.S has some of the best anglers out there just not the most famous. You gotta remember that those guys have in recent years beat out mass amount of great anglers and have earned their way there.

Scott from Indy

9:27

BPT has the elite talent. Not even close. Look at the last classic results. If those guys went back to BASS they would dominate again.

Dave

Did BASS or Brandon have to pay anything to leave the MLF BPT early? Are Brandon’s Elite entry’s covered by BASS this year? It was mentioned that some of the pros this past season as an incentive had their entry fees covered.

9:27

Would Brandon have still left the MLF BPT if he would have had to re-qualify through the opens?

9:26

Did Brandon have to sign the 3 year MLF BPT contract? Have heard that a few of the pros did not sign as a way to keep their options open and was the only way they would move over to the BPT in the first place?

Stu in AL

9:26

There’s two viable Tours. Has been since 1996. Same today. Only difference is, today’s social media aspect

Philmanchu

9:26

Two Pounder...Inewit Inewit! Anotha two pounder! Inewit!

Frank- Mich.

9:26

What has been the feedback from the anglers at BASS?

Dave

9:26

Matt, look at who is calling themselves "Elite"?

matt in al

9:25

How would the Brandon Palaniuk story be different if he came up in the FLW/ MLF system that we see as of today?

Philmanchu

9:25

Just got on: Is this what I think it is? Wow.

Ty in NC

9:25

When is everyone going to come to terms that there is no "bad" decision, "bad" format, or "bad" organization here???

Josh the painter

9:25

I agree matt

Lee in IN.

9:25

I thought they had to sign a 3 year contract with BPT.

Andy-IN

9:25

Did the BPT allow Brandon out only after they had good replacements ready?

Dave

9:24

First Question… Has Brandon signed any type of Gag Order or NDA dealing with what he can divulge on his departure from the MLF BPT or with BASS on the details of him returning? IMO the interview is not going to be anywhere near as informative, insightful, or worthwhile if he has signed something or is not personally willing to share any real details.

9:22

BASS really needs to rename their "Legend" exemption. IMO BMP is not at "Legend" status yet. Understand he meets the qualification standards.

Trey in GA

Also as passionate about grassroots as BMP is I hope he is in talks with BASS about them bringing the weekend series back. I think between BFL and BASS guys would fall all over themselves to weigh-in on a BASS stage.

9:19

Curious if BP had to pay an exit fee to MLF?

Dave

9:19

you cannot make everyone happy! Always gonna have some that are good to go and some that are butt hurt. Until BASS somehow gets the level of anglers lost from the creation of the MLF BPT the greatest collection of anglers is currently on the MLF BPT.

Stu in AL

I still believe there’s still two types on pro anglers on the tours : “made guys” that are not impacted by costs associated with the touring and the majority who struggle to afford it. BPT was driven to help the latter, at the expense of some of “the made”, agree?

9:18

How much of BMP & G’s decisions are sponsor driven?

Flip BigStick

9:18

I disagree that MLF BPT has the best talent....peopel need to rememebr there were anglers there before they showed up....

Craig,Oneida Lake

9:18

Come home Jordan you’re wasting your time on the Red Crest !!!

Dave

9:18

lotta chatter about BMP and whether he is truly a Legend yet. Realize he meets the current qualification criteria but should they rename this exemption?
