The weigh in is brutal. It takes entirely too long.

It really is. I might be in the minority, but weigh-in's just aren't my cup of tea. I do LOVE the Classic expo though

I couldn’t care less about weigh-ins. I’d rather it be in real time anyway. The expo might be great, but they could figure that out outside of the tournament.

it will be for a few more years still.
If all the NFL players quit and went to the XFL would the super bowl still be the same no but it would still be the biggest sporting event on the planet for a few years.
It will take a while for the tide to turn but when you dont have the best fisherman/athlete people will not be as interested.
Right now the BPT has the best fishermen on planet in its ranks not the b.a.s.s. So that makes it more compelling than b.a.s.s. the classic is still the biggest tourny in fishing but i believe over the next 5 years that will change if the best fishermen dont fish in it. IT will probably never die out but it will suffer due to the lack of the big names not fishing in it.

The weigh in does get boring how many times can you really sit a listen to what his name say GA-GA-GA-GA-GA- GIANT bass that gets a little old.

100%, what MLF has done in a short amount of time is insane, right now they have the money men and the brains if that stays the same they will win the war.

I don't think he is in the minority at all. More and more people are thinking that way. You say MLF is rigging the number of online viewers. How many people at weigh in are paid actors just to be there?

I've watched a good portion of both days. There were plenty of open seats

Those who espouse that type of thing are delusional. Those lemmings who left the stage and platform that made them who they “were” are Now has been’s and wannabe pro’s that can only dream of being in the same class as BASS.

In case you haven’t noticed, these guys are putting together weights in bags of 10 fish where it’s takes the “wish I were still a pro” lemmings, 20 fish. Goes to show you, how unappreciative, and low moral character talent can be replaced in such a short amount of time, and the big stage, big fish, and big dreams show goes on! (Without looking back)

Agree with most of your post so far but thats a little "tin foil hat" there for me.

No matter how many open seats there may have been at any given time during the show, that’s always a 100% more than the “I wish I was still a pro” guys draw in. It’s like their events have been designed to preemptively reduce the spread of Coronavirus... they practiced it all last year for the real deal. lol

Of course i don't really think that. I'm a fan of BASS also. Just pointing out how stupid big o's claims are.
