Love all the haters on here, you are hilarious. First of all you don't pay attention very well. How many times did he say he has a young family and wants to stay close to home? He fishes the 2 circuits which allows him to be competitive yet sleep in his own bed. Why would he spend all the extra money to go all over the country and compete against the Spotlighters? I also agree with him that the pros who left BASS should not be given exemptions. They left BASS hanging and now they come back on bended knee to rejoin the tour. Let them go thru the opens and see how hard it is now. Most of the guys who went back are struggling. I think that's why you see lakes on the schedule that cater to old school fishing. I'm guessing most of you haters weren't watching when Randy was very competitive. He was not on par with a KVD but he was definitely a big stick back in the day. He has nothing to prove to you! Hope you whack them today, good luck! 🙌
Amen
Don't agree with this entirely, Randy Howell has fished MLF (FLW) since the 90's and has 5 wins? I wouldn't agree that BASS only made his career. He basically fished both same as you did back then. He has more earning with MLF/FLW than with BASS as well as more wins with MLF/FLW.
I was thinking this as randy was talking
You're 100% right. Everyone should requalify if they left BASS for BPT and now want to return to BASS. This is a mes. Unfortunately, bass fishing is losing its luster with boat prices, electronics prices, and equipment prices at an all-time high. It destroys the sport of bass fishing.
Unfortunately rising prices is a problem across the entire economy. This idea that it's just bass fishing that's raising their prices is nonsensical.
@smelltheglove2038 it doesn't make sense that a tournament bass boat is 100k plus. The majority of people can't afford them. I'm not sure who said it's just the bass fishing industry that's raising their prices. Most reasonable fishermen can agree that prices don't have to be as high as they are. For example, new boat sales are down this year. People are repowering and keeping their boats. Hopefully, the manufacturers will reduce prices to move 2025 models.
@@MrBash82 I'm not defending the price of the boats, just pointing out that everything is now double the price of what it once was. Can't afford it? Do t buy it. You dont need a bass boat to fish.
Bass boat prices have dramatically increased way before the economy tanked! They've been way over-priced and of low quality since the late 90s. Yes, everything's gone way up but bass boats and equipment have outpaced the economy by 20 years, at least, and are ya gonna try to imply the crap quality is due to the economy, too? Pfffft! Nothing but a bunch of excuses for ripping off the public.
The vast majority of anglers don't have more rods than fingers on a hand, are hand to mouth as far as tackle goes and fish from shore 95%+ of the time.
Boats, electronics, 20 rods with braid/fluoro and the private tackle shop in a room/garage has always been expensive. You're seeing the results of crony capitalism and open borders affect your buying power. Not saying that the industry isn't being changed negatively by mega-corporations eating up smaller brands but your ire needs to be directed elsewhere.
Randy, didn't you leave Bassmaster where you built your career to go fish FLW?
The carrot they dangled looked better, and it probably was for a while, but now it's defunked. Am I right that the toyota series is just the old flw qualifying events?
Competing circuits are good for the sport. It gives a broader opportunity for more anglers.
It also brings innovation of ideas on
how tournaments should be, catch weigh and release for example.
Good luck today
I liked the FLW series if I’m not mistaken they had much better payout’s. They are doing this for money nothing wrong with that.
I agree. Competition makes things get better for the anglers. BASS was treating them like crap back then- not they have some accountability.
Do you also appreciate when I watch your videos with ad block on?
Its all about money the legends nonsense is all based on fan base. More fans more people spending money more viewers
Legends pass is total BS. If I was IKE especially I would tell BASS. Now you owe me one free pass. If he was to fall in the bottom 10 for qualifying.
Them 2 will be out of the elites in 3 yrs no way they compete against the live scopers they'll be bottom 30 90 percent of the tourneys
BASS is desperate for known names in hopes to increase viewership.
Randy, it's a perk for being a classic winner or and angler of the year winner. I don't see there's anything wrong with that. I just don't think they have to requalify. Just because they left bass and went to mlf. The exemption rule is there for a reason. Classic winner or anglo of the year, two of the hardest things to accomplish in bass fishing
I am trying typ support you and watch your videos , but you cry about everything randy
Stick to teaching videos even if you gotta wait for views
Gosh man , you’re killin me . I gotta pull my sub
Bye😂
While I happen to agree with you that there should be no exceptions for coming back, analysis by hindsight, you know, Monday morning quarterbacking is basically worthless. You need to objectively analysts a situation by only looking at what information was available AT THE TIME THE DECISION WAS MADE. What would you be saying now if it had turned out that MLF had been able to deliver on its promises? Probably something like "those guys who moved to MLF sure made good career moves ..." thank god in the military we never approach leadership like this. You are solely judged on your decisions based on info you had or should have had at the time ... there's a hint in there somewhere for all you civilians ...👽🦖
I am not for the free pass. You are welcome to leave on your on free will, but you must rejoin the elite club by the blood sweat and tears of the qualifying opens.
I agree.....but can't blame them for taking advantage of the special exemption
I agree with you on this one. Neither of these anglers were fishing well enough to fish the MLF Bass pro tour next year, but somehow they’re able to skip the line.
It has nothing to do w the bpt . Randy and cliff are both great but neither is a great every fish counts fisherman . And there are more elite series anglers who are mad then bpt period . You get on here every week and say how elite series anglers call you all the time and are unhappy . Which is it ? Let's see which ever one will fit your thumb nail for the day and get a few clicks right ?
This video isn't very 'Intuitive'.
Says the person who’s won neither !! 🤦🏻
But he has won BASS events, so not sure what you’re talking about? Randy was a hammer in his day.
@@Stonehorn he has won neither a Classic or an AOY yet is bitching about someone getting back in to the elites because they have. In reality he’s bitching about how a company runs their business that he hasn’t been a part of in years and holds zero value in what they do. 🤷♂️
Randy Start your own Tournament Series and you can put your own ideas into action.
As an idea, hell yeah. BUT might not be practical for RB at this stage of his career.
He can call it the BFD…Blaukat Fishing Derby! 😊
BASSMASTER is desperate for famous names. I had been a member since 1972. I cancelled my membership this year. The organization, and tournament bass fishing in general, has gone to crap.
They do this to get airtime , which is not where the other professional sports have a problem with. High salaries, lucrative contracts etc. Those guys that fish don't have that. Their a financial drain on their families
They need a union!!
I don’t think it’s anybody’s business to be telling another man how to and where to make his money. They had their reasons for leaving BASS, and now they have their reasons for leaving MLF. They don’t owe anybody an explanation or anything. BASS did not make their careers. They made it on their own. Staying in your lane.
Most wont requalify,because they were not pro level fisherman to begin with.Bass knows this.They just make new pros.Elite series should be less tha 50 sticks.Every angler should get some camera time.
MLF Bass Pro Tour is in a reduction mode. It you are not in the top 40 you should be looking to what else is available. I'm not sure if Randy Howell would have qualified for the BPT in 2026 but if he has a ticket to the Elites you have to take it.
I agree to a certain point.. These guys are not employed by either. 1099 ppl. Those organizations don't pay those guys, so they should go where the bang for the buck happens. Payv all that money to fish they opens, then pay more money to fish the elites. What professional sport cost you money to play besides fishing.
My thoughts Rockin Randall, I think it’s a two way street BASS helped their career and they help grow BASS so in this industry it seems if you scratch my back I’ll scratch yours if you do good if you don’t “see ya”, so if you want something in bass fishing you should have to earn it, I say no give me’s
I sure hope when I get to be your age I have a lot less to complain about than you seem to have. Such a negativity based channel and mindset. I love your fishing videos and apply some of the things you’ve taught in my everyday fishing and have finished high in tournaments doing some of your techniques. You have every right to your opinion and every right to spread it but it does seem like you look for and lean into the negativity. Looking forward to more fishing videos Randy!
They both were cut for next year doo to their AOY standings if I'm not mistaken. So they had to do something.
Didn't hackney requalify as well?
We lost Ray Scott and Forrest. Everything ended then
But you are good with letting someone who has won classics or certain money criteria, who by the way aren’t fishing currently, being on a technology panel to determine what to use or not use?
Can't do a video about anything without dissing FFS can yoy
Universal Truths: if you never make your bed, you'll never care.
I just dont even care or worry about any of this stuff and fish for fun
They were on the bubble and plus they are washed up pros.
I agree with you.
i bet this was put in there so if KVD ever wanted to come back he could without having to go back through the opens
KVD ain’t coming back he has nothing to prove.
