For me when I watch MLF, I think that would be fun to fish there as a recreational trip. When I watch BASS/FLW, I think oh that's how I can catch that big fish on Fork and if they catch a lot or big fish then I may want to visit the lake they are fishing.

But when a tour is on a lake catching just spots or small mouth, then I don't really care to watch as I am not too interested, since I don't fish for those two here in Texas.

Redcrest had a bunch of back water frogging, loved watching that, plus it was a championship and they have some good entertainment with their format. I also kept tabs on the FLW Cup on Hamilton even though it was a dink fest grind, because it's the championship.

But typically when the tours swing north, I don't care too much.

You literally just posted above that he might need money... that's what I was answering. I'm super familiar with his resume.

Care to answer my other question that you skipped over?

Is Redcrest Championship supposed to be comparable to the Classic?

This forum is great.

Voice an OPINION, and the little guys want you to write an essay proving it. Lol.

Nobody, I’m sure, misses an ounce of sleep over who’s fishing where.

......and no, I’m not gonna have a sleep study done to prove it.

I don't like Evers at all so I lost interest in MLF pretty quick. Cayuga was pretty fun to watch!

I said that that he needed money half kidding hence the "probably not"

I didn't say Ike was jumping ship, that was MaDfluker, I am MaGfluker lol....I didn't realize that question was directed at me.

Sometimes in business you have to cut losses/expenses, there is no way I can answer your question because I don't know what costs each business has invested in the BPT contract. Or what it would cost them to leave. If you make $0 money in tournament fishing winnings, how are you helping your business? If these guys are the best of the best, surely they think they can win more money on another tour, a tour that they have had success in before this current venture.

If you decide to invest in the stock market to add to your income and/or retirement and you make $0 money in the stock market after a whole year would you keep investing? Where do you cut your losses and try to make money doing something else, when do you move to mutual funds versus day trading? That is entirely up to the individual and business.

My bad.. that's the primary problem with this board, too many flukers...

Hahaha, no problem

Watched both . Enjoyed watching from my arm chair. With ice packed knees

LOL, I swear you and Dubee get so defensive on this deal it's funny as hell...

It’s understandable with the one that’s getting paid from them, but the other one isn’t.

Absolutely, and that's just scratching the surface.

Those guys would be lucky crack the top 50 in BPT if you compare their past and current success. They are in the top of BASS now. However, if you want to compare talent there is no way BASS is even close to BPT top to bottom. As for comparing formats that's apples and oranges. But, the BPT guys are the ones that dominate BASS and FLW for years. Again, the top 5-10 in BASS or FLW could compete with the best of BPT anglers on any given day.

It's similar to trying convince someone that Conference USA or Mountain West has better talent than the SEC in football. You might like the style of play but the doesn't make the talent better.

If there fishing or college football on TV, I am going to watch it. As long as I find it entertaining / competitive regardless of the talent or style of play, I'm all in.
