I suspect there is way more at play with the cancelation of the Redcrest Expo than safety concerns. I see where Mark hasnt heard anything about the entry fee deal but if that's true, which is a big if, it leads one to believe there is a money issue which may be why they are cancelling. A guy on BBC posted some events the same expo facility was holding all thru January. It just isnt looking good over at MLF to anybody except those with that patch on their shirt. Managing a sports league during Covid is no walk in the park but they're not going to run out of money over there anytime soon. Lol, you guys act like they're gnawing on a bone. They will get the acquisition behind them this year and streamline ops and all will be well.

But I thought before the buyout FLW tour would likely not have survived, and this was before the covid mess. I don't think all is well at BASS either I feel many of those that were lower in the elite standings may not return this year, in a perfect world the two would just merge and be done with it.

Things are going to get a lot worse before they get better and I'm not just talking about Pro Fishing.

FLW needed some adjustments and you’re seeing those implemented. Neither MLF nor BASS are going anywhere. They’re both owned by billionaires and both going to continue to compete and move their businesses forward.

I suspect there is way more at play with the cancelation of the Redcrest Expo than safety concerns. “ The decision to cancel the expo is a tough one, but we believe it is the right one. Every week we had to expand the show floor plan because of demand and we expected to sell out the entire facility. Now, with more than a year of lead time, we are already looking ahead to Redcrest 2022.” Lol, classic MLF style statement every time something fails. They bring this all on themselves with their own arrogance. Live wells are bad, then by season 2 go raid our minor leagues that use Live wells, We are a real sport because we do not pay entry fee's, by season 3 we need to have entry fee's. We are not a little fish league, by season 2, we have a variable weight limit that is basically 2 pounds. It is all comical. Again no one would complain if they were not so cocky with their marketing to begin with.

no one's held captive, so hopefully that narrative can be put to rest. Where were they all gonna go???... It's BASS or MLFLW/ BPsT. MLFLW/ BPsT screwed their guys by shutting down early and not giving their guys a full season. At least BASS worked and rescheduled so their guys got a full season... Dan

Dan MLF allowed their BPT guys to fish the Pro Circuit thus giving them the option to have a full schedule of competition. Conversely, if a BPT angler wants to, they can fish both leagues : BPT & Pro Circuit in 2021. It’ll be interesting to see how many do that. That will definitely be a FULL schedule.

Haven’t seen it on here but John Cox mentioned on Luke Dunkins podcast w/Dave Mercer that if the Elite schedule doesn’t conflict with BPT or their minor league then he would fish all 3. He sounded like he was just waiting for BASS to release the remaining 4 dates to him.
First, he’s crazy. Second, Is that even possible?

I wonder how they determine who goes to their championship after canceling half the season? Do they just pick who goes like they pick replacement anglers? They said the Redcrest Expo would be bigger than the Classic when BPT started. Looks like the anglers are gonna see the first 3 year contract expire before they have an Expo. Too may Covid issues for the EXPO period. And FYI, none of the anglers competing in 2021 are under an old contract. The roster you see for 2021 all chose to be there, no one's held captive, so hopefully that narrative can be put to rest. You can tell it's off season... can't wait for things to start back up for all of the leagues. Yes and no. I'm sure there are several that if had the opportunity to just go back to bass would go. Many of those guys are not going to fish the opens to requalify. They've been there done that. There are still some bpt guys fishes the opens and did not requalify.

Hackney is only missing the Classic and he'll have won all of the "majors". He has an AOY on both FLW & at BASS. He has the FLW Cup win as well a MLF World Championship from a couple years ago.
I don't believe anyone has accomplished the 4 big ones, AOY and Classic/Cup. With the cup being extinct now, He's on the short list of people who could actually do it.
