chad the business model bass has been around for years and could have did the lower entry fees but not go to the weigh and release format

Chad, you are over glorifying Ray a touch! Payouts under his tenure weren't any better.

Jake in Ohio

Chad you have to remember that the technology is the only thing that has driven this MLF format. Without an app, it's impossible for this to work. I just think these guys come across high and mighty now.
BASS has also implemented the TTBC format and I think you're going to see more of that in events where they aren't trying to draw a crowd to a weigh in.

The anglers in BPT were FORCED to do something new. BASS has refused to do the right thing since Ray left.

your exactly right new guys are sticks

Fishing that format doesn't make them irresponsible. They are doing the best they can in an old, but popular format. When BASS started, they had a 15-bass kill limit per angler per day... But thanks to Ray Scott, they evolved. Now BPT has evolved, and BASS is living in the past.

Fair enough. That's just something we fundamentally disagree on. I don't think the Pros's at FLW/BASS or even local tournament anglers are so irresposible that they would support a system that was decimating the resource, as some have been lead on to believe..

ChadInCanada

Jake, if anything, I think 5-bass trails that cart bass around a lake, to a stage, and back again over a duration of 8-10 hours are UNDER reporting their true negative impact.

Philmanchu

8:56

BPT needs to up the minimum weight to 2lbs or put a cap on 1lb fish (like the best 5 <2lb fish will be counted).

I watched the Elites last weekend and forgot all about the BTL !!!

Mike_Cus from NY

8:55

But under their format they can't even get 80 on the water at one time... I look forward to seeing the volume weigh-ins they think they can do.

Jake in Ohio

8:55

Chad, you crack me up with this impact on the fisherystuff every day! You don't think that MLF is overstating this in the least??

Basszilla

8:54

MLF is going to create a lot of new uneducated tourney fishermen who will donate $ to the winners of local team trails. Just another benefit of MLF. I look forward to the noobs joining our clubs soon.

ChadInCanada

8:53

I have been a hard-core bassfan and traditional-style tournament angler for two decades. But, I prefer BPT and it's format. Why? It's the right thing to do. Minimal impact on the fishery, and no entry fee.

Jason in IA

8:51

BPT and BASS both need to get BTL to handle their feed... BTL perfect, BPT & BASS are almost unusable on slower connections

ChadInCanada

8:49

The appeal of the BPT is that it is the evolution of the sport and the only true pro (no entry fee) tour.

finger hooked

8:47

i think the mlf extended some guys carriers they wernt catching in bass and not catching in mlf either

Jason in IA

8:47

Pangrac with the Bang drink... awesome!

Mike_Cus from NY

8:46

KVD is on the cut line for not requalifying... LOL

Dennis in IL

8:45

It will be interesting when someone wants to go back to BASS from the BPT ! I believe it will happen !

Mike_Cus from NY

8:44

MLF anglers are going to have rod breakage issues because of the "no carpet" rule. They are constantly high sticking the rods to try to save the penalty.

Jason in IA

8:44

all the live coverage will show tons of equipment failures... how long until the manufacturers will address a failure on live with a press release?

matt in AL

8:42

What about two Abu rods breaking on mlf live at conroe? (J Lee and Ike)

Craig Taylor,Oneida Lake

Mark,Bruins vs Blues,long time Bruins fan !

A mart broke motor mounts and couldn't make it in one tournament. on the final day i believe

Philmanchu

Mikiaconelli had a trolling motor and a live well break.

BEN-MN

Philmanchu

Craig Taylor,Oneida Lake

8:38

You just have to love Brandon and the way he fishes !!!

Will IN

8:38

I'm sure some anglers would like to but could never admit it

8:35

It should be! A lot is going on in the bass fishing world

Basszilla

Congrats to Travis Alcock on Big Bass at the TB Open yesterday. 9.1lbs Fishing for big ones is the coolest.
