BASS for sure. If I wanted to see 60 fish caught for 80 pounds I’d go to the nearest stock tank and throw a roadrunner. Congrats. You beat the bank better than the next guy. You must not watch to make stupid comments like that Numbers dont lie. Look at the averages. Hint, they arent big. That's just the game with that format.

Mlf is a completely different game then bass and flw, with that being said mlf draws very little attention from me because it’s format is not relative to the tournaments I fish.

Well said and exactly how I feel....I've tried really hard to watch it and get into it but just doesn't hold my attention, especially on a deal like this where the leader has almost more weight that 2nd, 3rd and 4th combined....Edwin was on em and this deal was over quick Other than the top 10/20 cut down period of about 30-45 before that days competition ends, it's just guys throwing some baits that some of them would never through in a 5 fish tournament, and catching popcorn 1lb-1.50lb fish over and over...but I get it, that's how this MLF/BFT or whatever they call it now is all about

Everytime i watch i see guys throwing frogs, bladed jigs, swim jigs, creature baits and jigs. When on smallmouth lakes they dropshot. Same as every other tournament

I said "some" baits Dubee...GD, why do you and a couple others on here get so butt hurt every time someone say the prefer watching one over the other...it's all just a damn fishing show? If you cant admit these guys would fish some different patterns if it were a best 5 weigh in, then you're kidding yourself

If you cant admit these guys would fish some different patterns if it were a best 5 weigh in, then you're kidding yourself But the point is, it's not a best five and they ALL signed up for it and know the rules. If that's not for you, that's cool. There's an option for everyone to suit their style and preference. What's the point in talking about different patterns? It would be equally as pointless to go to the BASS threads and social posts and begging them to change to the MLF format, yet for some reason it's all any of the MLF naysayers can seem to do... I watch all three for completely different reasons. I like some things about all of them and there's things I don't but I don't spend a single minute posting about the negative or shaking them down over it. Thankful for all the options we have to be fans. I wonder if Edwin is sitting at home today ashamed of himself for the "pattern" he chose...

Never been butthurt over someone saying they don't like it. Or they like Bass better. It just gets old hearing the same false claims about how they throw different baits and fish so much different. You can say you aren't a fan without the bs comments

Anyone saying the BPT guys are the very best fishermen in the world, top to bottom, right this minute, have fishing ability confused with marketability.

... Anyone saying the BPT guys are the very best fishermen in the world, top to bottom, right this minute, have fishing ability confused with marketability. Please provide a list of 80 fishermen from either FLW or BASS or combined that is better? I'll wait... Yes there are maybe 5 guys from each that could/should be on the BPT. Otherwise the Top 50 from either are not even close.

Otherwise the Top 50 from either are not even close. There are studs and duds on all 3 tours. You can look up the last 5-6 years final results of the BPT members if you want to and should be able to figure it out. Some of them are a perfect fit for that format, they made a career of catching little fish and selling a ton of rods and baits. Good for them, but Canterbury, Zaldain, the Johnstons, Gustafson, Fieder, and a bunch more are head and shoulders better fisherman than a whole slew of those guys now.

Swindle has had a few unhappy moments with the format as well, he had one meltdown they caught half of on camera and then switched to someone else. I recently saw Swindle do an add for Sunline, first time I've seen him do any marketing other than Toyota or Quantum, might be needing some money? probably not but I found it odd

I'll bet ike is the 1st to jump ship. Ok, I'll 100% bite on this. And again, to be clear I like both formats see benefits to the anglers from both. But here goes... Let's say there are 10 "unhappy" MLF/BPT anglers. Please pitch me why they should capitulate one year into the new deal and more importantly HOW they would actually execute a re-entry into BASS that wouldn't be an absolute nightmare to attempt to pull off. Please explain to me how any BPT angler (who is a small business owner/sole proprietor) would knee jerk at this point and bail out this early and what his economic reasons for do so would be? Even if at this point he absolutely hates the format. Sell it to me. I can't wait for a reply. And your Swindle comment is hilarious. I think he's made it in fishing. He's not limping in.

Wow, I did not say Swindle has not made it in fishing, he's had 2 AOY's with BASS...I just said he had multiple meltdowns on camera in regards to the format and the cutline which made him seem very unhappy. Swindle is one of my favorites, I miss watching him fish for 5
