From what I gather bass had more people at weigh in today than the "smartest guys" had the entire event. At their weight in with no fish and no audience. Bass still is THE event that people go to and follow. People love weigh ins and big bags.

Bass still is THE event that people go to and follow. People love weigh ins and big bags. After watching both I'm gonna have to agree with you. A 34 lb. sack of bass gets me real excited. What a show these guys put on and the weigh in with those 9 lb'ers was awesome. Way to go BASS.

Duckett has made the comment several times, he does not care about spectator involvement, he wants corporate involvement. All about the $$$$ and thats why I hate the MLF/BPT.

Really kicking my self for not putting Clunn of my fantasy fishing team, as inspiring as his last win was I doubted he would do it again. Proved me wrong and he was just short of breaking that 100lb mark. Hes still got it!

He's right, and because of that they will get the TV money and contract, the current BASS model is too niche but yeah the fishheads came out for their weigh-in today but they are a very minute percentage of the sports audience.

think Duckett saw the growing popularity of high school and college fishing and saw an opportunity to grow the television audience....plus he saw how the professional golfers own their tournament trail and realized it was time for the fishermen to own their trail instead of "fishing for their own money" and letting B.A.S.S. pocket the profits...

After watching bill Jordans success deer hunting I think I'll start a squirrel hunting show.

I ended up winning the tourney (and the boat) by just a few ounces over Bill who finished second....Bill was a really neat guy...he played football for Ole Miss and was a wide receiver and teammate of Archie Manning...

You hate a for profit business venture for attempting to make a profit? Are you aware that BASS and FLW are for profit businesses? These kinds of comments absolutely baffle me...

Nope, I hate the fact that all they care about is money. If you dont care about your fan base, then you are worthless to me. Why would I support something that has no care about us being there. If that baffles you, then you are a salesman. When BASS or FLW come out and say that their fans are not of importance to them, then Ill hate them too. What baffles me, is the fact that they think housewives & kids are going to take their viewership to another level.
