There will be a few MLF guys who dont jump ship from BASS I'm sure there will be. Now Alton Jr has committed to MLF. So there is 1 of the 30 not on the website
I can backlash toilet paper.

Edwin Evers, KVD, Greg Hackney, and Alton Jones are my favorite pros to watch....
Guess I know what I'll be watching.
It's only a good cast if you catch a fish...

It's not going to be the Top 80 bass anglers in the world. Already a couple committed who aren't in the top 80. Kelly Jordan isn't even in the top 80 on the Elite Series. However he has some type of stake in the MLF. It will be interesting if done of the FLW hammers like Thrift, Rose and Morgan come over.

There's gonna be over 800 hours of TV coverage/live stream of MLF compared to the 60ish hours that BASS just put out this year- per Alton Jones. It makes it very easy to switch and watch. This won't dilute the sport by a long shot, if anything its going to put it in the spotlight and make it more popular than ever before. They were even talking about sponsors that aren't even close to being related in anyway wanting to sponsor just to get air time on TV. This will bring plenty of money in and pay these guys as well as trickle down and make the sport better.

BASS said they are cutting down the field to only let 80 to fish the elite series next year. Down from 110, so there is 30 for MLF

Boyd Ducketts Bass Zone interview was pretty interesting. The one takeaway I got from it of it is anglers ar going t make more money which is nice. Unfortunately, he also said that would be driven by more fisherman.... Specifically, double the fisherman. I hope they have a plan that includes teaching people about respecting others on the water and better fish care. The number of folks fishing the bent pole pattern these days is really large. As a weekend warrior I cant imagine twice as many boats on the water.

A few is 3. And if anyone got invited to MLF, and turned it down I sure hope they have a guarantee of payouts with a reduced field below 80 next year on BASS. The 10 FLW guys invited will go. And who would take a similar 1 year payout vs. a 3 year? BASS only taking 11 from Opens, from print to date. They could go down Open field but that many guys cant get $ in time. The only way they could fill a field is to scratch everything and change what they set as an Elite standard and poach FLW guys for a year. Sponsor dollars are everything... to the angler and organization. Only 1 has been doing press releases of adding sponsors. BASS wont lay down but financially impossible to sustain. Kills me to see young FLW guys complaining about payouts before it all shakes out. How do they know it wont change 2020, and FLW is farm league announced by end of year. If it were me, all I would say is I hope to contribute to the sport in a similar way one day, and fish Opens to keep the avenue open. BASS will change what they announced last week.

BASS is on the ropes, FLW is positioned very well in this, the young guys need to bite their tongues when this all shakes out FLW stands to gain the most possibly, I think there could be an alliance with MLF in the works. The gem FLW has is the the best grass roots connection.

FLW Could continue its roll as the AAA affiliate to BASS and now MLF.
