Nothing really to share. Any established hole in the ground with fresh water has potential to contain big bass. Want to catch the big bass consistently, get over the artificial lure only theory and learn to target, catch, drug and keep, sober up and cast, “wild shiners” and you’ll get the big ones consistently. But if you really want to have fun fishing you’ll ditch the bass boat and get a decent near shore saltwater vessel. You can get so much more boat for the same money and the amount of species considered sports fishing is magnified tenfold. And if you like to catch, clean, and eat your fresh catch, some of the best table fare seafood is not commercially available, but recreational only. Florida probably has the best fishing in the country when all the different types of species is considered. And where else can you actually fly fish (something more related to trout and salmon) and catch something 6-7’ long and over 200 lb?

I think I’d watch the BPT if they’d go back to having no practice days. That’s what made the early MLF shows fun, seeing why guys picked certain areas. That is only the Cup events. The tour has practice days. I think we can all agree the “cup events” are not bonafide fishing tournaments and it’s where anglers are transformed into actors working with a script and story line. So why would they have practice days for a reality TV show where all they have to do is yell “CUT” and “TAKE IT FROM THE TOP” - I mean come on, seriously, how can a sporting event that has no live audience, takes place in secret, it’s winner and results are kept secret for months until all the video editing is done, and it is aired on TV months later..., be taken seriously? Can anyone name any another sport or competition that is like that? keep in mind that stick and ball sports are always played in a private stadium or course where it is possible to keep spectators from interfering with the contestants....imagine what the world series would be like if they couldn't prevent fans from wandering around on the field while the game was in progress and that's exactly what you have with BASS or FLW tournaments.....and there is no telling what the impact has been on every BASS or FLW tourny over the years.... MLF having their tournaments unannounced is a great way to to have a level playing field and equal opportunity for all.....you should be praising them for this novel solution to a long time problem.....and....you and every fisherman who aspires to be a professional should thank MLF for coming up with an organization owned by the fishermen who can now share the TV,sponsorship and venue dollars amoung themselves instead of fishing for their own entry fees which they had been doing for close to 50 years... Man you would have a ton of Prima Donna's quitting if they allowed that!

BS Big O. This pic was taken before him and Rose shot a commercial not before fishing an event. It doesn’t matter if it is BASS or MLF fishermen, if they are in a commercial or in a studio they get makeup. They do not get makeup before going on the lake.

Can anyone name any another sport or competition that is like that? It’s entertainment. Made for TV. Prove the script is written and acted out and that it is not “real” fishing. Now you’re just being full of s***. It is just bonus for the anglers. They don’t don’t do this kinda thing for “just fishing” Probably not but they sure do it for commercials! Link to commercial that this pic is from!
