I would like to see a west coast swing. i can think of 5 fisheries in California alone. Castaic, The Delta, New Melones, Clear Lake, Shasta.

Andy-IN

The cut line drama is similar to the 4th quarter 1:30 to go drive.

Dennis in IL

10:01

Has this guy ever fished ?

JD-NY

10:00

Good luck growing this sport. Money is killing it. Millions of people can buy a cheap rod but not a 70 k boat. I know so many people that fish and have no clue that pro fishing exists.

Like Listening to sam prestie Talk about the thunder.  Lots of big words and rambling but not content

Dennis in IL

9:56

Roland Martin on Deal or No Deal !

Andy-IN

9:53

Edwin Evers was on Fox and Friends a couple of years ago right before the Spring Fishing Classic.

Will IN

9:53

Great interview!

BRIAN IN CA

the fans don't care about the money anymore that they make. its about legacy and titles.

Andy-IN

9:43

Philmanchu. I agree with you. I never set the hook on a fish unless it's big...oh wait, I get a bite and I set the hook. I catch as much as I can because I love it. Quality will come with numbers.

Dave

9:40

great point Jack

Jack Puerto Rico

9:39

What we are experiencing is a reaction to the changes brought from the formation of the new league. Anytime there is a major change, it makes people uncomfortable. People's reaction to discomfort is usually negativity and in this case towards MLF. My take is we need a road to Qualification without the entry fees, whether there is a payback or not. This gives anglers of all ages and regions a chance to prove themselves worthy of being a true professional.

TOS Matt

9:39

I would like to know their plan on Pro angler retention. Especially after year 3.

Jim - Indiana

9:39

The required high pressure, fast pace, may eventually get to all of them

Andy-IN

9:39

The payoff will come to the BPT anglers that fished the Cups that are just now starting to air.

JD-NY

9:38

Starting my own fantasy tour. Four tournaments in each section of the Country. Release all fish except for two.Hold up your two biggest Bass on stage.

Dave

9:38

MLF FLW is the disruptor to this industry, much like Uber was to the taxi industry.

Philmanchu

9:38

This isn't about "change", it is about boredom. I get bored when I am fishing and catching a bunch of little fish. I have fallen asleep watching MLF. Never happens with BASS even if the fishing is slow.

BRIAN IN CA

9:38

sound like they have made some cost cutting adjustments for this year.and what boat is kelley jordon in now!

9:37

how many guys had 50k to get out.

Andy-IN

9:37

No. I don't pay for the Outdoor Channel but you can use it to watch the BTL live.

Jeff-TX

9:37

Andy, do you have to pay for the Outdoor Channel?

Andy-IN

9:35

Binkwood. I use a Roku and got the Outdoor Channel app. Watch under the live streaming for free. It worked great.

Jeff-TX

9:33

I agree with Binkwood. I streamed it a few times from my laptop onto the TV through Apple TV, but it was a pain in the butt

Dave

9:33

split the two hour shows into one hour of catchin and the other hour into how-to and behind the scenes.

Jim - Indiana

9:33

No time to talk!

Brock From KCMO

9:33

What percentage of anglers are feeling like Swindle & Polinick?

Binkwood

9:30

It's too much of a hassle to watch hours and hours of live coverage from streaming systems that don't work on smart televisions. I get they want to control their advertising but they need to bit the bullet and stream on You Tube, or at least air their shows on You Tube after they have been aired on television.

BRIAN IN CA

9:26

Is the west coast on the mlf radar in the future?

Maynard

9:25

Still contend the print media that will be supplied by the FLW magazine , will help to promote the BPT anglers better then the web source, This with competent writers will help to promote the FLW & the BPT. Now the web site is still limited to the very few !

Ty in NC

9:25

Agreed @Dave

Kevin

9:25

The west coast has always been the red headed step child. I would love to see BASS tournaments out here.

Dave

9:23

Time will tell for sure...IMO BASS will need to innovate more or they will get left behind.

9:22

The hardcore fans are such a small microscopic portion of the audience that MLF FLW is going after.

Jim - Indiana

9:19

I guess us "old guys" are to dumb, and don't understand it!

Steven - OK

9:18

I think when you take the fan interaction (weigh-in) out of it, you will lose the hard core fans. Sure you'll keep some but only time will tell if there
"numbers" that they claim they have are true or not.

Dave

9:15

Can't make everyone happy! Plus a buncha haters are still watching. John hit the nail on the head!

Thank you Matt for finally asking the question!

9:13

Steven...Maybe if the overall viewership is not growing.

Steven - OK

9:12

They will eventually have to adapt and it wouldn't surprise me if the BPT goes back to a 5 fish limit.
