Some things are better, you guys doing so many shows with so many anglers available for interviews is a plus! You Tube content has improved too.

Rus

10:05

Good show! need some more debate point/ counterpoint on all this I think.

Mark-Minnesota

10:05

Just as long as it is mine Matt. LOL!

Binkwood

10:05

Isn't BFE a small town in the middle of nowhere in Egypt?

TOS Matt

10:05

Good dialogue today. Thanks guys.

Andy-IN

10:05

You guys are doing a great job. My work does suffer when you are on...

Mark-Minnesota

10:03

Edgermucate that sounds right?!

Rus

10:02

Ya'll kiss and make-up now lol

Nenad

We will see some new technique and baits for fall fishing which is a plus based on what has been happening.

Mark-Minnesota

9:57

Northern guys may be bummed about the hunting. Oct.-Nov. is when it goes down here for multiple hunting options.

Rus

9:54

Keith is shooting bucks in the fall...

Andy-IN

9:51

Can the fish really see the color differences when the bait is 15ft deep? Isn't it just about the vibration/movement?

Denny in Michigan

9:50

Mark, Ask Keith about his youth tournament success on Belton lake and Stillhouse Hollow.

TOS Matt

9:50

Mark MN: Yeah. They might as well cover all the BPT guys who enter, utilize their officials for those guys, regular marshals and camera crew for FLW and simulcast on both sites.

Andy-IN

9:47

How about Gman? He doesn't win tournaments but we all love him. He has a great personality and can sell. Yes he is consistent and has won 2 AOYs but no big tournament. Still think he is an argument for personality over winning.

Mark-Minnesota

9:46

TOS Matt, you would think Chad, Randy, and JT, but mabe not. Possibly split it 2 days each? At any rate it will be hard to cover 200 anglers. Possibly they will combine forces with the expanded field?

TOS Matt

9:42

One thing is for sure, the Live stream viewership will likely be higher than an avg FLW event. Who will host? BPT guys or FLW hosts?

Dave

9:41

Think so Matt.

9:40

good point binkwood. there are have been alot of "pro's" who rarely win or finish real high, but market themselves well enough where they are making their living off the sponsor money.

TOS Matt

9:39

Dave, that would have to be the case as the BPT guys aren't qualifying on that FLW tour. The money would be the difference. FLW guy could get 1st in points but 2nd place payout. Am I interpreting it correctly?

Binkwood

9:37

The reason I agree with Matt on this one is; the profession of tournament bass fishing is totally contingent on promotion of equipment and in order for aspiring "pros" to succeed they need to sell themselves to fans and sponsors. Forcing them to compete with anglers that have already been recognized as "experts/professionals/promoters of equipment" is a barricade that was installed AFTER they took the financial risk of signing up in the FLW. That's totally different than people just competing for bragging rights on a Tuesday nighter.

Ryan Kentucky

9:36

Right. Matt Robertson fishes those ky lake divisions he is the man to beat for sure. We fish the Cumberland division/region. Only got to fish the first 2 tourneys this year and doesnt look like we will be able to reschedule. Really sucks also, we averaged 85 boats, largest USA bassin division in the country.

TOS Matt

9:36

BPT guys will have to get back into best 5 strategy mindset

Dave

9:35

I was under the impression that if a BPT guy fishes these he does not impact points? If a BPT pro finishes 1st and pro circuit guys finishes 2nd the pro circuit guy will get the 1st place points

Rus

9:35

This whole thing still goes against the whole BPT identity IMO

matt in al

9:35

Mark that is the problem. The rules change.

Brian in MN

9:35

It’s a moving goalpost ;)

Jeff - TN

9:35

I agree 200% being paid and exposure upon performance. But if they signed contracts at the beginning of the year and the contracts have changed vastly, will they let the PBT guys out that want out without having to pay a penalty fee like BP or GS

Andy-IN

9:35

A similar event happened on BASS when they invited Open anglers to fish the TTBF and Wheeler won. He bumped the 2nd place KVD from the Classic.

Rus

9:35

2020 will be a year of astrics for anyone who wins with BPT/FLW.

Andy-IN

9:35

If you suck in the FLW then you fish 14 days. 18 for BASS

Brandon

9:35

Couldn't a Elite angler only fish 16 days roughly as well?????

9:34

Matt, Have you ever heard of any other PRO athlete say they dont want to compete against another pro..... imagine no NBA player not playing becaause Lebron is playing

Dave

9:34

Elite pros fish the Opens regularly? What's the difference?

TOS Matt

9:33

I'm only kidding here but when it comes to community holes you are actually fishing against the other guys lol

Andy-IN

9:33

Ryan-KY, I know Matt Robertson won already in USA Bassin. But I get your point. :)

TOM from NY

9:33

SUMMER CLASSIC or SPRING CLASSIC WOW what a novel idea
