Jeff - Florida, could you blame Matt for opting out of FLW/MLF? He did the hard work and sacrifice to qualify for the Cup, and they cancelled it without so much as a "sorry."

Jake in Ohio

8:59

50k is going to make more than 2-3 guys paint a smile on and wait out their contracts. Not everyone on the MLF side can eat that buyout.

Stu in AL

8:57

Don’t you think the “big 4” : G, Ike, Skeet & KVD sacrificed the most to make the jump and that their rationale was to shake up pro bass fishing for the sake of the less sponsored pros to not have to go broke to participate? If so, was G’s return kind of a “I was just kidding” it more important I’m happy regardless of the rest of y’all? Not dissing G just thought the big 4 were selfless in their initial move to The BPT

Kevin--WV

Ike

Jeff - Florida

8:56

Did I hear Matt correctly yesterday to say he is going to focus on the opens next season and forgo the MLF/FLW tours?

Jake in Ohio

8:56

Who is the other rumored guy who wants to leave Kevin?

Jim - Indiana

8:56

With so much focus on "Live" how soon do we see changes like more, and/or robotic cameras taking the place of the rear pedestal?

Stu in AL

8:55

I’d also bet the likes of Hackney, Bobby Lane etc. lobbied for a big fish event....angler input, a good thing.

Dave

8:55

FLW would have gone broke if MLF BPT didn't aquire them.

Will IN

8:55

Is the bass pro tour going to keep saying the anglers name on score tracker updates?

Stu in AL

8:55

I think the Heavy Hitters deal was solidly supported from what I read

Dave

8:55

Matt. Think its a bit of both.

Philmanchu

8:54

Why not just limit the number of 1 and 2 pounders that count to total?

Kevin--WV

8:54

Did you notice the two guys that left MLF and went to BASS were Toyota guys? And the other big name rumored to want to leave is also a Toyota guy?

Jake in Ohio

8:54

MLF says every fish counts and claim to not be a dink fest...until everyone calls it BS a year later and they add gimmicks.

Dave

8:54

An example would be the two hour BPT shows...I think they should do one hour of what they are currently showing for the entire two hours and than change the second hour to the behind the scenes deal and the how'd they catch'em the second hour kinda like the way they do they MLF Cup shows.

Scott in VA

8:54

You guys need to get Zona on

Mike_Cus from NY

8:54

Do we know if Gerald was part of the original angler owners/investors for MLF?

Karl from Ohio

8:53

How long do the former elite anglers who qualify for the golden ticket have to use it

Derek-NC

8:53

Do you think A-Mart start using power pro braid now?

David - WI

8:53

Brandon Card goes to Vexus. Jason Lambert to Blazer.

Keith

8:53

Trails dont have a good track record when things start changing so quick. Get Ike on to hear his POV about what's going on and his thoughts on Swindle and Palanuik

Derek-NC

8:53

Thanks!

Alex

8:53

MLF will eventually need to realize that size matters

ChadInCanada

8:53

Jake, HAHAHAHAHA! PRICELESS!

duckettank, NC

8:53

MLF has always been on the cutting edge of trying new things. Always will.

Stu in AL

8:53

Better hope MLF survives: The game needs 2 viable leagues to keep the game honest and nimble to the participants. Also, BFL and Costas are big grassroots paths needed

Dave

8:50

Got it Karl...They are trying to change/grow the sport. Some of the initial changes are obviously getting some negative feedback and trying to improve. Just love all the haters so early on. I still think they need to change a few things myself but I am not boycotting an organization that is trying to help our sport

Peter in Michigan

8:50

Lots of parallels to what Gman said yesterday

Guest

8:50

Everyday things get more interesting. Make for great shows!

Derek-NC

8:49

Hey Mark could talk about why you ask every guest if they think MLF / BASS will be around 5 years from now?

Karl from Ohio

8:46

compare it to NASCAR. It's not hard to get a ticket

David - WI

8:46

You'd think the 2020 Red Crest would be announced since they'll have almost 2 years to put it together since the La Crosse one wasn't the true roll out of what it should be like

Jake in Ohio

8:45

Dave, there a distinct difference in "making changes" and doing what MLF is doing. They're walking back on HUGE pillars of their format that they sold us as being "superior" to the old format.

Josh the painter

8:45

Mlf would be doing better if they had not bought flw

Mike_Cus from NY

8:45

Cumulative? Is that big fish each day over all 8 stages? Or cumulative days for any one stage?

Stu in AL

8:44

My guess, Heavy Hitters is in the middle of the BPT as an additional regular season event. I’d bet Redcrest will be early 2021

hojo

8:44

I'm an MLF fan, but the "Heavy Hitter" event announcement seems desperate.... The timing may just be wrong, but not a good look in my opinion.

Layne in NJ

8:44

Why is everything MLF does so confusing? Just add a fish limit and start culling- 10-15-20 whatever the number is.

Robert

8:44

MLF - Hold my beer
