Awesome show as always. Thanks to you and your sponsors for keeping this going. Keep safe. Love BTL.

John-FL

Covid-19 was not considered in that schedule. If they don't have the Classic expo that is no excuse for putting the anglers in that spot

Mark-Minnesota

10:08

Yeah, Matt maybe they have a deal on props on Amazon?!

Andy-IN

10:02

BASS and the FLW run the same lakes year after year. I was hoping that MLF would do something different.

10:00

They could have the strip mine lake tournament

9:59

Doesnt it feel like BASS is winning the PR battle, but just not getting in the mud with MLF?

Mark-Minnesota

9:59

I think the scheduling on top, in this instance, is mainly intended to keep the BPT anglers away from the Classic expo. not competing on that day for viewers. What if a BPT angler makes the Classic through the opens this year?

matt in al

9:59

will sponsors move assets from classic to the stage event after the classic over?

Guest

9:59

seams like a bad business decision to compete with the classic

Maynard

9:59

Are the BPT pro's not supposed to vote on this kind of nonsense division ? The should vote for what is best for them !

matt in al

9:59

Will the sponsors cut the anglers pay for not being at the classic?

MATT HYDE

9:57

no one schedules on top of the Daytona 500, Indy 500 or Super Bowl so why does MLF to this? they are goin to regret it!!! the other elephant in room... all the BPT anglers fishing and dominating the BASS OPENS! ANGLERS WANT BACK IN BASS!!!

There is nothing like it because of the role of sponsors in the sport. An overweighted amount of the money used to make both tours work comes from the sponsors. now the sponsors feet are being put to the fire and some will be forced to choose which could significantly effect the future of either tour.

Brett

9:56

world series waited until nfl sunday was over before game 5

Maynard

9:56

Stanley Cup on top of NBA Playoffs !

Nenad

9:51

Poke the bear Matt. LOL

Mark-Minnesota

9:51

The fans will watch the final day of the Classic, not the first shotgun round of group A on the BPT?! You should ask your guy from Strike King/Lews what he thinks about all those guys missing the Classic expo?

Mike_Cus from NY

9:51

Besides the fans, also seems to be forcing anglers to make decisions. I think J. Christie will be making his decision clearly soon enough.

Maynard

9:51

Do you think this feud will ruin BASS Fishing for everyone ?

Mark-Minnesota

9:51

There is interest in the Fall tourneys for the hard core fans but there is a lot of replays and dead time on the live broadcasts. You need some level of fish catches to maintain interest with the general fans.

Andy-IN

9:50

I love the MLF/BPT format but you can't schedule over the Classic. Call Boyd up.

MATT HYDE

9:50

Got to remember some states are still NOT going to allow these events to take place to due Covid-19 even next spring. went to lakes they knew events wouldn't be cancelled.

JD in Illinois

9:50

Grinds because the average guy gan relate...

Andy-IN

9:50

Easy for fantasy fishing...pick the Johnstons up north

Travis

9:50

BASS tried going to different water when all the guys went to MLF I think its more the pros choice than the tours

JD in Illinois

9:49

You still need to have the support from the local chambers of commerce when you're planning tournaments as well.

G tuck

9:49

Agreed MLF has continued to not do what they promised including going places they could not go to before due to field size

Andy-IN

9:49

Yes. Go someplace new. There are more than 15 bodies of water in the USA

Mark-Minnesota

9:49

I like watching the MLF cup events. That format works better IMO with their every fish counts, catch,weigh, release format. No practice etc...The new ones start airing in early January when it is -20 here and we have 30" of ice on the lakes.

Andy-IN

9:49

Amen Mark!!!

matt in al

9:49

People watch the content. They dont watch it on linear tv.

JD in Illinois

9:49

People want instant information and its available. Then later down the road you can go back and watch on the YouTube's.

Maynard

9:49

Yes Matt, Print version is very important for BASS & Big Mag (Bass) , you're right on !

Guest

9:48

I used to watch every cup show on Saturdays but have lost interest in the last couple years. I'd rather a live event

Andy-IN

9:48

MLF cups are really popular and a great format. I just have a problem with the BPT going to the same fisheries as everyone else. The MLF cups have been great because they used to go to unique fisheries.

Guest

9:47

But Not as valuable has once was.

JD in Illinois

9:47

Digital/Internet based media is definitely the future. Watching BASS and BPT live events is the only way I watch. No reason to watch a produced for TV fishing events.

Nenad

9:44

Do the Nelson ratings take into account IPTV?

Mark-Minnesota

9:44

Austin Felix in second, only 5 points back. Go Austin! Could win both AOY and ROY!

Nenad

9:21

Good morning gentlemen from Toronto/Canada. Just wondering if BTL will bring back Boyd to discuss the future or MLF and changes that are going on. Matt what are the anglers saying?????
