When a company alienates it's core out the gate, you're gonna see push back.

Nick, NC

9:27

Yes. I'm OK with that because VERY few people harvest bass to eat anymore. Plus we will become our own worst enemy if we keep preaching that no one can kill a bass. Eventually someone will say you shouldn't even touch one. Then we are done.

Joe-FL

9:26

Do we see the common thread here? MLF has a huge PR issue. Show after show the overwhelming vibe is against it. You cannot deny that

Jake in Ohio

9:25

Do you have links duckettank?

Joe-FL

9:25

Sqwencher!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The more realistic delayed mortality of 5% for the same conditions would be 90 BIG DEAD bass... That is 5 in every 100 bass caught, put in a livewell, and stressed out through the whole ordeal. Not unrealistic.

Bobby-SC

I have fished a ton of tournaments in all 4 seasons. Hundreds of tournaments and I have only had 1 fish die. It was my fault because of gut hook. If you pay attention to your fish, use ice, G Juice and keep aerators running and pump out water and pump fresh water in you should not have an issue.

Landon Tucker

9:24

There so much misinformation out there about MLF its crazy.

duckettank

9:24

Some of the studies I've read from a few of the top universities is absolutely eye-opening concerning delayed mortality.

Jim - Indiana

9:24

25 years ago, you could cash a check with 3 pounders on St Clair ..... 8000 tournament later...you need 4 pounders to place!

Andy-IN

9:24

Have you guys seen MLF jerseys? Full of non endemic sponsors.

ChadInCanada

9:18

If you have 150 angler, and lets say average catch is 4 bass each, so 600 bass. In livewells, in the summer, for up to 8 hours, bouncing over wave tops, then put in a bag, held in line for at least 30-60 minutes at the tanks, then put in the live release boat, then released. Even if it is only 2% mortality, that would be 36 DEAD big bass over three days. You OK with that? I'm not.

Nick, NC

9:18

Who decided that putting a fish in a livewell is "bad" for conservation?

ChadInCanada

9:17

Jim, even BASS had articles in the past about immediate and delayed mortality with 5-bass limit, end of day weigh-in format.

Andy-IN

9:17

James Watson said that he told the BPT group after the first stop for them to cut out the talk of killing fish in a livewell. He said that all agreed because they didn't want to be hippacrites.

Dwayne from Norman

9:16

Hopefully at some point MLF can remove entry fees for the Pro Tour guys too. It's weird having the same company charging 40k entry fees for one league and free for the other.

Mike_Cus from NY

9:16

What a short term position that would be. Conservation Director for a trail that wants to go to catch, weigh, immediate release

Jim - Indiana

9:16

Yes...they need to apologize and have a conservation program

Jake in Ohio

9:16

Agreed, Andy. That was a little extreme. I can see the case for some restrictions but being "primal" or whatever the hell he was talking about yesterday was a bit much.

Joe-FL

9:16

This is a great point! Thank you!!!!

Jim - Indiana

9:11

No data that 5 fish kills fisheries

Andy-IN

9:09

When a guy says that we need to go back to a 2d sonar and 4 rods then they are delusional. I would rather have a bigger boat on water with all the big pleasure boats.

Frank- Mich.

9:08

I would like to see MLF have a fantasy fishing either in FLW or BPT next year- might please some fans!

Ben-MN

9:08

lol mlf cups?

Jim - Indiana

9:08

They were forced to decide in the dark!

Rus

9:05

The press release looks more like a business proposal. where are the real details?

Jim - Indiana

9:05

I want to see them catchin 5 live, and their srategy

Frank- Mich.

9:02

I believe FLW was struggling financially over the the last few years- What would have happened if MLF wouldn't have bought FLW?

Andy-IN

9:02

I agree Dwayne. A lot of hurt feelings and a whole lot of people that don't know how to read rules.

Joe-FL

8:59

All of that sounds so difficult and far fetched

Maynard

8:58

With all this going on now, what in Pro Fishing would there to be talked about from now till anuary ?

Dwayne from Norman

8:51

Until MLF, I didn't realize how much bass fisherman let words and change hurt their little feelings. I've never heard so much whining from a bunch of fishermen ever since MLF launched.

Justin Leet

8:49

I think the average guys should be nothing but happy about this new tour. More spots for aspiring anglers means more opportunity...and if they can get the payback to where theyre saying, that's huge too.

duckettank

8:46

Apparently the Big Bass Splash has been very lucrative.

Jake in Ohio

8:46

Hot take Tuesday, Mark!!

Larry -Texas

8:45

Just another organization wanting to make it rich off MLF thinking they will be bought out by MLF and be rich ?View point , can not be serious after reading the article.

Jake in Ohio

8:43

This will probably fizzle out like the AFL. Seems like maybe they should have marketed it as more of a parallel to the BASS Opens/Costas.

ChadInCanada

8:43

Targetting the working class bass angler, calling them "pros" when they aren't, high entry fee and low payout... Sounds like they just want to wring the ca$h out of bass anglers.

duckettank

8:41

5000 a pop for 50 G to win. Good luck with that

ChadInCanada

8:40

Horrible name too...

Connecting…
