BTL - BASS TALK LIVE NOVEMBER 7th, 2019

Scott from Indy

9:39

Great Week! Love listening at work when I can!

Jake in Ohio

9:39

Thanks for a full week, guys.

Andy-IN

9:39

Great week guys!

Brad - East TN

9:38

is this basically a thursday night jackpot but you pay 5k every time you show up?

Dwayne from Norman

9:38

If I tell my wife my plans for 60k...I'll die.

Dave

9:38

At the levels that the majority of the consumer fisherman fishing these tourneys. The industry is perfectly happy with the pay to play. This is really just another form of legalized gambling.

Dwayne from Norman

9:36

Will anyone watch this league?

Brad - East TN

9:36

The ABA leadership specifically said not having that carrot to make the classic through the weekend series is what hurt them the most

Dwayne from Norman

9:36

Economy will not perform as it is now.

Jake in Ohio

9:36

I like the equipment idea, Dave. Maybe 20' / 200 HP max?

Philmanchu

9:35

This league is the USFL.

paul Oklahoma

9:35

a lot depends on who is fishing it

Dave

9:35

You would have more young guys if the entry fees and the equipment required was lower.

Stephen Waldon

9:33

If that payment plan is looking right you should be able to pick up some more guys off the street!

Dwayne from Norman

9:33

Because they're mad at MLF and can't qualify through the BASS opens.

Dave

9:32

Disagree Matt. As long as the pay to play is part of this sport, You will have those that are left out simply due to the economics.

Derek-NC

9:32

Why would bass fishing be screwed if trump looses?

Brad - East TN

9:32

look what happened to the ABA

matt in al

9:32

On the sponsorship side, are the other tours pricing the sponsorships too high?

Andy-IN

9:32

But Mark started at the bottom. The NPFL is trying to start from near the top.

Dave

9:32

guarantee that the NPFL schedule will directly conflict with the FLW and MLF/BPT schedule.

Pickwick Guy

9:32

I agree with Matt. The timing isn't the best. Launching in 2021, this announcement could have waited for things to solidify better.

Philmanchu

9:30

This is just getting ridiculous and will water down all.

Dan

9:30

From strictly a financial standpoint - money. If I was an elite fisherman, I would fish it. I.E. I can see John Cox doing. He is all about making money.

Jake in Ohio

9:29

Sounds like Al's ideal situation is to be the "FLW Pro Circuit" on the BASS Side between the Opens and Elites

Dan

9:29

I bet they are working with Bass that the TNPFL AOY winner gets a Classic berth.

Ben-MN

9:29

Look at the flw tour

Andy-IN

9:29

Should be called the PPL. Pay to Play League

Dwayne from Norman

9:28

For the sport to grow, we don't need more pro style leagues. We need more triple A leagues.

Mike_Cus from NY

9:27

I think they could get the guys - but not at the "qualification" standards.

Dave

9:27

I think BASS and the NPFL are already scheming. This is all good while our economy is truckin along. when we decline the circuits will suffer.

Mike_Cus from NY

9:27

The Elite series at one point struggled to fill the field. Guys with funds got to stay on before they were actually cutting based on performance.

Dwayne from Norman

9:27

If Trump loses, bass fishing is screwed. There... i said it.

Ben-MN

9:22

Yeah get that fish n' pins going for next spring in the ozarks. rock crawlers and ham bones

Jake in Ohio

9:20

He's spot on there...the TV stuff is massively overrated.

Dwayne from Norman

9:20

Is the 60k fees all required upfront?

Frank- Mich.

9:19

Will you be looking for a TV network to air your show?

Texas Jeff

9:16

Is part of their plan to capitalize on pissed off FLW guys?

Steve TN

9:16

How does the payback compare to Opens and Costa’s?

Philmanchu

9:16

You have to make something out of nothing. They are making something out of existing successes. That means incentives.
