Great show

We need to discuss what adaptions needed to change to excell in the MLF format

TOS Matt

10:05

should have asked if he thinks MLF should be ran like NFL, commissioner that doesn't play/fish.

Brian from Lake Norman

10:04

6x sales

I would like to see more on site fan interaction. Opinion?

Jake in Ohio

10:03

The best analogy I can make to watching BPT is a golf tournament. They cut to fish catches like "big shots". Most people are watching a golf tournament for 4 days. If it's close on Sunday, viewership pops.

Justin in Eufaula

10:03

In the 5 fish limit your not really ever out of it on a daily basis. Over 4days yes you can get too far behind. But, with 5 fish you can be back in it at any time. I think it keeps folks interest peaked longer.

Matt fishes FLW asked him what he would rather fish

Binkwood

10:00

Because the scoring is so dynamic things change too much in the MLF format and you really only need to watch the last 5 minutes of coverage at the end of the day to see who wins or advances

Josh in MN

10:00

I'm a casual fan/viewer, I understand all the nuances, but still really don't care which tour I watch, I'm very indifferent on the formats.

Brian from Lake Norman

10:00

FLW purchase price? Over under 25 mill

9:58

It just sounds like Boyd is pitching to venture capitalists/advertisers, you can tell the focus has shifted to ratings. The amount of content is simply a selling point...maybe thats what it will take to grow the sport... my take

Jake in Ohio

9:50

Thanks for humoring me on the board behind the scenes, guys. I really like Boyd on these spots..I just wish they could acknowledge some of the stuff they whiffed on.

Josh in MN

9:47

@ Scoot in VA..... yes there's something fun to weigh ins, but watching them as a spectator is just dumb as hell. I really hate the forced drama they do, especially on FLW

Mike_Cus from NY

9:42

Does he think there could be some impact to the "casual cup" viewer when not having same participants (because of qualifying) ie. KVD fans, Kreit fans, etc...

Justin in Eufaula

9:42

I think we’ll see a shift in some anglers back to the BASS FLW trails.

Scott in VA

I have never fished a mlf style tourney but nothing beats a 5 fish tourney and coming in at the end of the day and not knowing what everybody else has till they hit the scales and the nerves that build up waiting to see if you won

9:41

Unless mlf builds a feeder system I don't see them hanging around long

Jake in Ohio

9:37

Anonymous score tracker wouldn't really work in "community holes" unless maybe they updated every half hour or so.

BRIAN IN CA

9:35

my last complaint the angers are not fishing their strengths anymore the flipper will never win an mlf flipping. it's all about speed and covering water to find a group of scoreable bass!

Brian from Lake Norman

9:35

Thats all and great, but if no one can follow along with whats on, what year did this film, all that, its worthless

Justin in Eufaula

9:35

I’m a hardcore bass fisherman, have been for years, the MLF just doesn’t stir me like I was hoping. There’s something about the 5fish limit that I enjoy better. Without a limit there’s no kicker. There’s no benchmark. I enjoy 5 fish and watching it better.

ChadInCanada

9:35

I think that MLF NEEDS to make the FLW purchase work. It will be instant grassroots/High School/College involvement.

TOS Matt

9:27

I think having score tracker updates anonymous is a good idea

Jake in Ohio

9:27

"Tens of Thousands of people ask to fish MLF" and like 2 of them watch BTL. Maybe they are reaching a new demo.

Jim Liechty- Indiana

9:27

Wheeler didn't think it was too cool in the World Championship!

purplecatoutdoors

9:27

I would like to know what more will be done for the fans that go and see the mlf onsite

Frank- Mich.

9:25

Your airing dates on TV are confusing, also J. Wheeler had to hide his trophy in his house for nobody could know- do you like that?

Mike_Cus from NY

9:25

Wanting to fish MLF works, until the anglers have to shell out funds to fish it. So any system needs to be zero/low cost.

9:22

Any thought as to getting all 80 pros on the water the same day?

BRIAN IN CA

9:21

Has a player run league ever worked in sports!

Maynard

9:21

Gotta be a better way than having the pro sign in after each fish !

Jake in Ohio

9:20

I don't know a single person who watched a championship day on MLF..no exaggerating.

Chris - Indiana

9:20

If the BPT viewing ratings are so high, then release the numbers and let the public see and prove it.

Brian from Lake Norman

9:20

The worst thing that happened for the BPT was Table Rock back to back, lost a ton of viewers, no one wanted to watch that the first time around, forget twice

Mike_Cus from NY

9:15

Edwin's RedCrest win, kind of disputes the never out of it theory. Lacked drama. Great fish catching of 1 to 2 lbers.

BRIAN IN CA

9:15

the problem i have with mlf is that it is so repetative it gets boring after an hour.

Brad - East TN

9:15

Surely Boyd has to address "its just a dink fest". That's that main pushback i've seen.

Austin Alabama

9:14

Boyd is loosing the hardcore bass Fans with Mlf. And catering to the soccer Mom's. That's a problem.
