Boyd is only interested in putting more money in his pocket. He doesn't care about the anglers in the least. Hopefully the guys stick together and force him out. Wait till he cuts the field down and he's still fishing the tour. 🤣
#FBD
Boyd Duckett is a smart businessman. Most smart businessmen are not liked very well.
@@bobosh732Boyd Duckett burner account here.
You're trash.
@@bobosh732 Well, yeah, because that means he’s concerned with profiting. And we know how unpopular that has become among many. If bass fishermen were not in it for the money they would be out enjoying a nice, relaxing day of fishing without all the demands and constraints of organizations and tournament rules.
Lol you wouldn’t put money in your pocket? I guess bass is all about helping anglers we know that’s bs. All these organizations are for profit they don’t care about anglers except if it benifits them. You guys that participate in the dream or nightmare that’s your problem.
Too many organizations. The sport was interesting when it was Ray Scott and B.A.S.S. was it.
So a monopoly huh? Those are always a good idea.
Greed and money will eventually destroy the professional fishing world. $125,000 boats, $15 crank baits, $300-$600 glide baits, rods and reels that start at $500 plus a piece, $6000 trolling motors, $20,000 or more for a GPS--FFS array, $5500 entry fees when only the top 25 finishers earn their entry fee back in winnings. Is there any doubt as to why there is dissension amongst the ranks?
Someone is getting rich and it dayum sure isn't the angler. !st place has paid the same for decades while the entry fees have quadrupled ......the math isn't mathing if you know what I mean. I don't know how the bottom 80% even make a living at it.....the ones that never win.....its crazy
Yes and the idiots still commit financial suicide to fish in these organizations or as I call them the house like Las Vegas casino s
Everybody knows the rule house always win
Negative.
Hurt it, make it unwatchable, possibly..
Destroy it Never..
Not as long as there is a profit for an entity to exploit and guys who fish and have a competitive need in them.
It will eventually be like NasCar, where there are big corporate sponsors supporting
Team owners such as Roush and Gibbs..
Look for names such as Wheeler, Iaconelli, and Defoe to become some of the first Pro Bass Fishing team owners. Money runs the world.
Can't stop it.
MLF was a really awesome extra curricular series. I haven't liked it at all since it went as a stand alone series.
My thoughts exactly!
I used to think MLF was the best thing since sliced bread… with FFS and a plethora of other issues, I don’t watch college or professional bass fishing anymore and haven’t for a couple of years now. Until all of these organizations pull their heads out of their asses and get back to REAL fishing, I’m out and I’d hope that all of the TRUE outdoorsmen are too🎣
It's because there should only be one I've never been a fan I've always thought Bassmasters is the only and premiere League
@@highjenks3d it was the standard! Now, as far as I’m concerned, they all pretty much suck!
M@@SMC4117
I like MLF versions where they release their catch right after weighing it. Unlike the others who remove the fish away from their spot, put them in a live well all day, take em in & out to weigh & show case em; then release all of them in one area & make em find a new place. 🤦♂️
@@expansioniskeyrn That’s one of the reasons I liked it! That said, with FFS being so prevalent with multiple transducers allowed, all of the major tours have been tours of catching not fishing! Watching a tournament nowadays is about as entertaining as watching paint dry! Truly sad where the sport is heading!
The only good thing about MLF vs BASS is catch, weigh, and release.
I haven't watched a bass tourney on tv for a year, at least...And, any other fishing show I see on tv that shows guys staring at video screens pretending to fish gets turned off immediately
When they started the BPT, they became a "watered down" version of BASS. The differences between the two is what made MLF originally succeed.
People now realize how crooked boyd is
Boyd duckett’s ego is the major problem with mlf
I think it’s going down. My personal opinion is I think they’re in financial trouble. Also, I don’t believe an owner or co owner should be fishing for the money that’s put up for other anglers. You either own/co-own or your an angler. I mean an owner/co owner, whatever he is, should not be fishing for his own money or any part of his own money. One thing I’d like to know is when did any tournament organization start declaring foul hooked fish LEGAL? I know it used to not be that way even on treble hooks. Is breaking rules cheating? I say yes. But the penalties are different for breaking the same rule. It should be the same penalty for ALL anglers. Not just pick and choose who gets more and who gets less punishment. Just my opinion. Good video Randy.
I think the concept of MLF was the best thing that could happen to the sport. That being said, the way it has been ran evidently needs improvement! If fishing for bedding fish, or pulling them from deepwater and putting them in a live well and riding them around most the day continues, it won't end well, for the fish or the sport! A lot of the MLF haters, are people who are still mad for most all the pros leaving BASS to begin with. I don't know their reasoning for leaving...but there was obviously reason!
When MLF first started, they had like four toiurnaments, with each having the exciting sudden death round. None of that exists today. The BPT was 'supposed' to be influenced by angler majority decisions, but that too seems to have gone by the wayside. I understand it's a business, but viewership of fans and sponsors' support drives the BPT. I think the aspect of having practice days speaks against what MLF first started with, a location where the water body is kept secret until the day the tournament starts. Part of the appeal was seeing how anglers disected the lake/river on the spot. Every fish counts, after having days of practice, has been watered down, and the loss of significant anglers who were well recognized doesn't help. Even I have lost my appeal of MLF BPT.
I think you are onto something with this. The best part about the MLF Cups was that the anglers had no idea what lake they were fishing, a lot like the original Classic. Seeing them try to break down a lake as quickly as possible was always really cool to watch. But I think what made it a success and so popular was that it was heavily edited to maximize the fish catches from everyone and the editing allowed them to show/build a lot of the anglers personalities. With live fishing, be it BPT or BASS, you will struggle to get the same kind of engagement because there is just soo much dead air regardless of how they are fishing. If they had stuck with the no practice rules like the Cups it would make it more interesting, but I doubt we see that kind of change coming from Boyd
I know this is a sensitive topic, but for me FFS is ruining it for me, who wants to sit and watch a bunch of guys hunched over staring at a screen all day, I mean I get it why there doing it because they have to to compete and bring home a paycheck. This last tournament at Lake Eufaula was best one for me in awhile because most guys were just fishing, 9 of the top 10 in championship were just old school fishing, drew gill was only one using it, even on bed fish, every time they would put him on camera I’d turn it off.
I guess you've been turning it off for the last 5 years??? That's how long it's been used.
I really believe Jacob Wheeler could do anything he wants and wouldn’t be held accountable for anything because he’s Boyd’s cash cow and the fact that wheeler is sponsored by Boyd’s company Duckett isn’t right nor is the fact Boyd competes as an owner!
Agree 100%. Absolutely, without a doubt, the most egregious example of "conflict of interest" in bass fishing. If something like this were to occur in typical corporate America (especially in publicly traded companies), people would be fired at a minimum.
Excellent point! That is a conflict of interest!
Man if Jacob had his signature rods with another company, they'd probably sell 100x better than Duckett
@@michaelsanchez3659100%. Duckett rods are trash status!
Ahhh is that why he wins so much? Boyd pays off the fish or something?
If you want to save the tour , go back to the basics. If you want to fish , fish. If you want to play video games ( forward facing sonar ect) stay home and play Xbox. Fishing and developing a pattern is a skill set that will be lost to the electronic age.
I miss the old BASS Federation. It was EXACTLY what your saying. Run by the guys who were fishing in it.
The BPT catch and release format is the future. Boxing fish is just garbage.
You do realize MLF holds more best 5 weigh in tournaments per year than any other organization, Right?
@kevingonyea yea I wasn't talking about that format being the future. Just the catch and release.
The only thing MLF did that meant something was to introduce catch, weigh, release to tournament fishing. Having said that it’s preferable to me that tournament fishing dies a quick death. Tournaments are harmful to fisheries and fishing. Everyone in a tackle shop thinks they are the next KVD.
A question for you Randy, If Ray Scott was fishing against you when you fished Bassmaster as well as sponsoring anglers you were competing against how would you have felt about that? MLF's plan in 2018 with the mass exodus from Bassmaster and was timed when new management was just taking over at Bass to put Bass out of business. When that didn't happen, MLF has been trying every trick in the book to survive, including screwing their anglers. In my opinion, the sooner MLF goes under, the sooner "Professional" bass fishing can become relevant again.
Gotta admit Boyd competing and sponsoring is such a strange thing while owning MLF and they need to get rid of him if that’s true.
I think this would be a fair point if the dude was actually placing high or winning money. Dude hasnt cracked about like 63rd place this year..
@@youngchristopher14 Well, He is occupying a spot another (more competitive) angler could have, and, for example he penalized himself 10 minutes for breaking the off limits rule. The management at MLF seems to be modeling itself after the Biden administration.
Would love to see the FLW back with the Walmart sponsor. This way we can get those FLW Walmart bass fishing lures again
Hey Randy. Been watching you for a while now and I am curious about the shop area that you film in and I am wondering if you have a tackle shop.
I think it's right on track to be perfection!!! Here in a few years 25/50 anglers remaining on the MLF Tour will be making 7 figures 😂
#FBD
1st thing that needs to be done is change the names of these organizations.
MLF should be MLS - Major League Scopers
Bassmasters - The Scopemasters
😂
I don't give them a minute of my time anymore.
Good for you! 😂
Well 1st off they move the goal post to much.They did Watson very wrong!The entry fees are outrageous and the payouts suck now!So I told Kathy that I’m moving over to BASS.If I’m not happy there then I’ll just stay local.She was like well you’ll always have a spot with us.Im sure I do because my money is green just like everyone else’s.I should’ve quit years ago.Oh well I’m hard headed but my wife is very good with numbers.She was like hun the money just doesn’t add up.Thats our experience with them.Ive fished it for 15 or so years I think I’ve won my share but also have donated a lot to the company.Now it’s over with.
I think the Pros had the right idea when a bunch of them created the Professional Anglers Association (PAA) back around 2010-13 time frame. Their tournaments were a Pro AM format and you had BASS and FLW Tour Pros, plus guys that fished the BASS Opens and FLW Everstart tournaments fishing them. It was pretty cool seeing so many of the FLW and BASS Pros competing. I think they even had some fisherman who were guides fishing the tournaments. If I remember right, it was run as a non profit, but I'm not sure about this now. Anyway, a Buddy of mine and I fished several of them as non boaters on the Tennessee River and they seemed to be well run and the payout wasn't bad for just starting out. Then Major League Fishing showed up and the PAA seemed to disappear. Maybe someone like a Randy Blauket should try to bring the PAA back?
Boyd is what has screwed the pooch. Him buying FLW was horrible. What he has done with MLF is horrible. I feel for the anglers. I fished as a co with the PAA a couple of times and was hoping that would have taken off. Maybe some anglers will form a solid tour.
When mlf first started it was great. New water in different places. Fishermen had no practice and 2 hr show. Now it's just poo poo. Shame. Ffs same ol lakes meh.
Randy I know this video wasn’t about the ruination of our sport FFS, but I totally agree with your view on it. Seems like the new guys know one way to catch fish and that is using FFS. I feel like the new guys don’t have a respect for the sport or the guys who built it into what it is. I would love to hear your take on what happened between Gerald Swindle and Trey McKenny. Love the channel, keep up the fight.
Ethics is what happened.....Gerald saw Trey run a no wake zone .....he was ethically and legally required to turn him in. Its not the first time he's had to do it and it wont be the last I can almost guarantee you. It's in the rules.....Gman had to do it. It is what it is atp
We need a "Non Entry Fee, Sponsor Prize" driven circuit . This way anyone can compete in divisions that are skill level rated. An angler will be paid via sponsor prizes. Taking the money out of the sport brings back the "non gaming" aspect of the sport. imo
My opinion, which comes from 35+ years of fishing lots of circuits. 1st and foremost, I do not believe the Top Prize should soooo much larger then 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. The folks who finished 2nd, 3rd, etc, fished just as hard, maybe even harder, spent a chunk of money to compete and yet, they get a pittance of a check. Now, I believe First Place should receive more money, but $50K for aa win v/s $10k or so for 2nd?? or $5k for a Win versus 2nd, 3rd, etc. only paying $1,500.00, $800.00, etc. or so. Furthermore, this equates to payback further down the line being Minimal and in some cases, not even covering your entry fee. I have no issue with any person or organization making money. Just spread the payback out more evenly down the line. One other comment, the Federation use to be a great place to hone your skills against some really good local sticks, but the payout, at least where I competed was terrible!!! The Federation scraped off waaaay tooo much money to send to the Regional and State Tourneys. This is why that split occurred many years ago and the promised payout never got better! There are lots of folks who just want to fish local and with or through the Federation and that is Great, but you must know going in, the payback will barely cover your boat gas.
The big Circuits usually get a contract with the City / County they plan to host in and this money does not go to the Anglers. However, the Entry $ the Anglers pay should be used to pay 100% back to the anglers. These big Circuits should stop scraping $ from each Local tourney to sending it to the next level(s). There are lots of ways this could be done better.
One last Food for Thought comment....boat costs have spiraled out of control. The average fisherman today, can not pay $75k for a boat, much less finance it at 8% or more, then attempt to compete, even on a local level without going broke!!!!
I think pro fishing is on its way out. Period.
MLF will not last. The ship is starting to sink. The BPT anglers need to bail out now before the ship goes completely down.
I thought MLF every fish counts format was unique. Added a new variable to competative angling. However, instability, conflict of interest, and FFS have pretty much destroyed what could have been a success.
I never ever bought a Duckett rod. It was just another pole in a pile of other poles that are exactly the same but different colors and names on them. Makes me hate the industry, all these cookie cutter products that are all the same and packaged like hot dogs for the masses to purchase a new one every year. It’s sickening that this kind of business is in fishing and hunting.
Need to proof read that title
Tournaments business is no different than any other business. There is an owner(s) that is responsible for profit & loss. Do a good job, you succeed. Do a lousy job, you eventually close up shop. The people (anglers) won’t do any better by majority vote. Those that are in the minority will be pissed off too. Let business be business. Don’t like it, shop someplace else or create your own business model…. So much to be said about this topic these days…..
There are two types of people, givers and takers. When the takers outnumber the givers ability to give, there will be failure. MLF is no different. I’m too old for the drama.
FBD
Fish boat docks?🤔😆
I think Boyd knew from the beginning that in order for the BPT to succeed B.A.S.S. had to go. That whole push of drawing anglers away from BASS and promising the world to them was that attempt. Not to mention BPT tried strong arming the sponsorships to try and pull more money away from BASS. BPT had the better content and was on the rise and BASS was wounded and faltering. It might have worked if the pandemic hadn't hit but that really changed and realigned the sponsorship dollars and the number of people consuming content from both leagues.. For a short period there were enough people participating and watching the content from both leagues that the BPT just couldn't draw enough support away from BASS. They also screwed the pooch by changing the format mid stream which only served to confuse and alienate viewers and anglers alike followed by the investment in to the FLW which drained away a substantial amount of operating capital. Then as the pandemic subsided the viewership decreased and tightened up the sponsorship dollars available. Boyd failed and now is trying to salvage what's left.
The BPT is horribly mismanaged and really should go back to the original programmed and edited product but expanded. There was absolutely nothing wrong with it. They could do so much more with that format and it would be social media friendly. You could have the the MLF channel with individual angler content, seminars, tournament coverage broken down to easy to watch 2 hour blocks. They could create an entire ecosystem like a you tube type platform designed to not only make the league money but give the anglers the media exposure that they were promised when this first started. So many possibilities. On the flip side of that though I still believe there are way too many tournaments in general buts that just me.
I don’t know nearly as much about this as you, but I think you got it wrong in saying that the pro bass fishermen are the customers. I think that’s just as wrong as thinking that pro golfers are the real customers of the PGA tour or that football players are the real customers of the NFL. I also believe it’s naïve to think that fisherman ganging up insisting their ideas be heard and they vote on them would resolve issues and all would be pleased. That would probably work about as well as it does in government.
You have one too many “is” in the title - Just FYI
You should start a union Randy
Spoken like a real Communist!
From everything I’ve heard it sounds like Boyd needs to go.
Stopped watching mlf 3-4 years now ! FBD < Change the rules every year ! Kicking out james was not cool ! People fail polygraphs and Boyd slides it under the table < Round 4 stage 11 Day 9 sudden death ???Get it < 😮😮 Lies Lies Lies
FBD! He has 0 integrity
I really think bass circuits are on the way out. Entry fees and payouts are making the sport obsolete. It will collapse and a new platform will have to come about.
BPT is hard to follow for me, too many rounds and split angler groups spread across like 5 days, with too many edge case rules
I always thought 80 was too many - 60 would have been better to start. I think these are cost cutting measures. They cut 2 on camera talents - they cut day 1 A/B from being broadcast. Maybe KVD can buy majority ownership or something. I like catch-weigh-release (better for the fish health) - I like every fish but we see a lot of 2's and 3's vs. bigs. I LOL at both Boyd and Gary not making the first cuts - neither has been a factor
In the best interest of tournament fishing, there should only be one organization with two feeders, aka double A, triple A, and then the Majors. If this were the model, the organization would be profitable, and the Anglers prize money would increase. In order for there to be no entry fee in that upper league tournament fishing is going to need way more sponsors from not in the fishing industry and tight as the economy is, I just don't see that ever happening again.
Boycott Boyd!
Tournaments no longer appeal to bass fishermen. Watching guys in $100k boats, spotlighting bass, then pimping baits like soccer moms pimp Rodan and Fields. So many times I see an angler telling his fans to go out and buy these new baits bc they won him money in the last tournament when he didn’t even catch the majority of fish on it.
Then you throw in the other lying and scandals…it’s just a train wreck now.
Northern europe here. I might have a couple of cents in my pocket. first of all I`d like to say that my knowledge runs skin deep, BUT.. It seems to me a lot of the sports leagues over in the states controls the participants to a large degree..either they are the defacto employer or at the very least control the particiants with contracts that go beyond the enforcing of the rules. I think that is a bad idea. The league should set the rules and collect any fees it needs to operate, but not police the participants meanings etc.
If MLF goes under I don't think its great for the sport. The BFL and Toyotas are good options for normal working tournament anglers. BASS doesn't really have an equivalent, and BASS nation events range from some good states to some states where it is a complete mess.
Pro Bass Fishing and the tv shows are not near what they were. Little to no teaching and ffs has turned it into a video game. May as well play on my XBox.
There isn't a sport out there, including this one, that allows athletes to badmouth management or officiating, regardless of how bad it is. Generally considered counter to good order and sportsmanship. If you go public with complaints, prepare to pay the consequences.
Listen to zaldains recent ep
Fishing boat docks
BPT sucks, fish boat docks all day long.... FFS sucks its ruining the sport of bass fishing. The original MLF tv series was great, closest grassroots relatable fishing there has been to watch and they messed it all up. Ding boy is spoon fed cheater. Keep fighting the good fight Randy, sincerely a supportive flat brimmer 👍
It sucks that u can't watch the first 2 days live,an alot of guys ain't fishing mlf anymore that we were used to watching,haven't seen jordon Lee latley
If you want to see Jordan Lee, you will have to watch the Elite series.
To many tournaments it's ruined fishing plus college highschool it's sucks anybody with money can say there pro anglers ffs has made it so easy to catch fish
It seems to me that a lot of these Angry Pro Fishermen need to get a hobby😂
I feel that way too. Free country, if you don't like what is going on then leave whatever league you're in and go somewhere else. If you can't find a home that suits you, then do something else.
Putting the inmates in charge of the prison is never a good idea. As long as the few owners are getting rich they don't care what happens to the organization.
It has to be Ducket and Wheller the whole deal is a mess!
I quit watching when MLF went to the team format. Also, televised tournaments are only conducted during seasons of ideal weather. I would like to see how the televised pros do when they have to fish conditions like the rest of us: oppressive heat, bitter cold, highly pressured lakes.
Comparing BASS to MLF is like comparing WWE to AEW (wrestling). You’re always going to have the king of the hill, that’s a given. Much like both wrestling organizations, Both BASS and MLF have a boatload of talent, and personalities. Both can co-exist and be extremely successful. The difference is leadership.
I just got into bass hunting. But now I know not to get too into it.
That is a good way to frame it.
Im not up on the professional fishing drama, but I know plenty of people were saying this was going to happen like two years ago. There were entire meme pages dedicated to it. So make of that what you will. Latest drama I saw was Randy and Miliken debating and Randy I disagree a lot with you but you handled that debate well and Miliken acted like a fool.
These days who knows where the whole industry is going to wind up 😢
MLF will fold within 3 years. #FBD
Money is the Root of all Evil.
Amen.
Duckett and Klein are washed up ... the whole MLF deal is money not fishing...we have a great fisherman like Weber falling into the mess by being sponsored by Duckett which is just another example of how corrupt MLF is..andnboyd and Gary fishing in the tournaments is so unethical.... so I refuse to watch MLF or bass really and ps James Watson got screwed for speaking truth
I just now tuned into eufala. Saw a dude staring at a television screen with a spinning rod and switched to youtube.
um, the pros are NOT the customers. The sponsors are the customers. The viewers are the product they sell to the sponsors. The pros are a second level commodity sold to the viewers
FFS has ruined both MLF and Bassmaster. I have no interest in watching someone else watch a screen and fish. Over the decades, I've enjoyed watching Anglers make decisions on weather, water conditions, etc. but have turned it off if I see more than 50% of footage watching someone's backside. WAKE UP ... listen to the fans!
As for MLF, again leadership ... listen to your pros and your fans! Instead, they've chased profit over the interest of fans and it is slowly spiraling down the toilet hole. I still love every fish counts format and think it does better for the fishery (like kayak fishing tournaments) than keeping 5 fish and weighing them in half dead for the few fans that turn up. Slight rudder corrections are always needed but drastic rudder swings will only push the Pros away.
no clue. ill have to see what youre sayin about it. nope. I dont make a buck off anybody, and have pretty much fallen away from following anything except baseball games here+ there. no drama.
Not angry with any of these organizations, just refuse to watch it.
I'm a Bass Pro Tour guy myself and I think Boyd is single handedly diminishing the integrity of the professional sport. I prefer the every fish counts, catch, weigh, release format and think for as many new ideas that originally pushed them to the top in my eyes, they have had even more poor ideas to and changes to bring them back down to the same level as BASS. We need a super bowl of those two organizations duking it out.
My only problem with the BPT promoting the catch weigh release crap is that mlf owns about 5 trails and yet all the other trails still keep 5 and have a weigh in……
I support 100% of what you’re doing.
Trump 2024
MLF needs new management. Period. The concept of bpt isn’t bad, just managed very poor. I loved watching the live feed but now they cut the first 2 days and find myself watching less and less. Cutting the field and cutting livestream is only going to hurt the bottom line. Looks like management is almost intentionally sinking the ship.
None of this would have ever happened if Bass fishing wasn't an addictive sport with a relatively small base. We need to all back off by boycotting these orgs and cutting back on our tackle purchases for awhile we need to get disgusted and go into treatment for our addiction. These orgs are just enablers and they have been laughing all the way to the bank at our expense.
Tournament organizations are businesses. The tournament organizations have employees to pay, vehicles to buy, trailers and support equipment to purchase and maintain. The tournament organization have print and internet media they provide. I think it is absolutely ridiculous to believe any tournament organization should be expected to work for “FREE” and return all forms of earned income back to all the participants.
Do you work for free? How do get money to buy your truck, boat and electronics? How do you pay for your home? How do you pay for health insurance for your family? How do you pay for the food you purchase at the grocery store? You go to work.
Next time you’re at a tournament, look at all the support personnel who “make” the tournament happen for your enjoyment. These nice folks don’t work for free.
Why not pay back what comes in via entry fees though and let the tournament organization be funded by the industry that it helps to promote though? MLF already has brand sponsors, so it would make sense that brand sponsors support the organization which supports growth and promotion of the industry and the anglers are supporting each other via 100% payouts.
Maybe I’m not thinking it through clearly enough, but it feels like the organizations are double dipping at the expense of the stated mission of industry growth.
@@cjm3801 This is an excellent business model you have laid out. I am sure Mr Anderson has a formula similar to this to earn his family’s company a decent return on investment. I bet the Anderson family would sell you BASS if you inquired. If history repeats itself, every decade the company sells.
Fishing is not fishing anymore
mlf was awesome when it was a tv show…it was even decent when it started as a circuit….when it bought and killed flw, and just ….let’s be real … when they started loving fishing boat docks #FBD i am done
i was initially trying to be funny, but i’ll give an honest opinion…i don’t tournament fish and never will. what bass and other circuits showed me was how to learn to fish, for real, not just comments…but now i feel like i get nothing out of it….i’m the product, instead of the consumer, i want to learn
Business is business, if you don't know how to run a successful business,keep your mouth shut! Boyd is a bass fisherman and I think he knows what's going on. The problem these days is the Sponsors. They are not giving the money out like they were. Look at all the other professional sports,all that money they fork out!
Randy, you know I am a fan. Let me tell you I like Dustin Connell, Mark Daniels Jr. Adrian Avena and Jacob Wheeler. They room together on tour and make a lot of videos. That being said, they all favor FFS. This is where it gets boring. I watch all their backs and listen to them talk while looking into their electronics. I'm sorry. it is boring. Their travel logs are much more entertaining. They admit that they have to have FFS to make any money. That is sad because I like them. They all have their families to support. Dustin Connell just had their first BABY. He says FFS is a must for him to win. He fishes off shore because of FFS. I am sorry, but that ain't right. I would sadly say that without FFS, these 4 guys would not be in the top 20 of MLF. Man I hate saying that but it s true. I am against FFS not because I don't have it on my Ranger but I don't believe it is good for the sport. Oh my wife told me if I wanted it, go ahead and get it. No, I told her. I catch just as many bass without that stuff. Sure, I am not a PRO. I don't even fish tournaments. I don't think it is fair to the fish.
Too much drama on youtube these days. Keep rumors going. Not enough hard core bassin.
I'm sick of tournaments. And all the elitist bs that goes with it. Can't we all just fish and have a nice big fish fry and a beer. A quarter million is alot to pony up for bragging rights
Ffs has no place in any tournament fishing.
Not a fan of MLF and all the cheating but BASS is going down with each tournament that passes. Really sucks.
No interest in MLF what so ever.
China will end up owning BPT and BASS. Actually, the deal has already been made. It's a good thing for the anglers in that there are going to be million dollar payouts in the near future.. Hang on guys it's just around the corner.
Go woke go broke!!
Makes absolutely zero sense in relation to the situation, but I guess y'all only know how to say a few phrases.
@@LookIDrum that's great advice from a guy who puts Y'ALL in his response 😂🤣😂
Point to ponder…….MLF went from 5 fish back to every fish counts….could it be Rapala pushed this , so that their FFS crew could win majority of events…..?
Is it a coincidence the “CrushCity” soft baits came out at same time….$$$….?
I'm only angry b/c professional fisherman aren't as good as they make them out to be. Have them come test them theories. Been calling MLFer Tas Muas out all this time to no avail. I will take everything he has. He doesn't have to believe me, but he's declined in person. I can't help a man if he doesn't want to become the best. To be the best, you gotta beat the best.
MLF Has always been a watered down product.Format is terrible , change the rules,they flat out lied about anglers getn paid ,Ducket ,kline, were always average at best. ALONG WITH MOST OF THE FIELD. Cometary is awful, Cornhole gets more tv time!!!! Now the guys who left BASS crting about FFS ,Karma comes round.Cant have 2 pro leagues. Imagine if the XFL was pro league .MLF is a clown show. ITS FISHING ENTERTAINMENT!!! Just like wresting.
It's way to hard to follow. They kicked the public right out on day 1 with the no weigh ins....that's the day I quit following them. So glad my man Jason Christie came back to the Elites......best move he ever made,,,,,won a Classic and several more of those blue trophies since doing so. It's a clown show over there imo🤡
