Still think a lot of Anglers will leave when their 3 year commitment is up. They aren’t making what they expected to. Economy and cancelled tournaments should be a challenge for all tours especially in this Corona lasts a while.

The "turnaround" from the viewer, sponsors and the anglers themselves in the last 90 days has been nothing short of dramatic. The amount of negative posts on social and forum boards is almost non existent and three months ago it was nothing but drama. The numbers from Fork were incredible and the first two events were strong as well. It has really come down to a few things.

1. the two pound minimum change
2. the change of production focus and letting the moments play out and the anglers talk through them instead of bouncing from fish catch to fish catch.
3. Heavy hitters has provided an interesting twist and certainly has put the focus on big fish. This was really smart.
4. this years lake choices and timing have been much better and that's simply from them having a full year to negotiate locations and plan

I'm in no way saying that anglers won't leave but it won't be related to money or sponsorship loss. It will be they simply prefer the five fish format.

Regardless, this is just way more enjoyable that all the battles that were going on at the end of the year.

OMG! I think I agree with you.
