You can thank the brilliant minds that run MLF for the lack of excitement or motivation by the top anglers. Those in the top 10-15 after day one had absolutely no incentive to fish, none whatsoever, because all their hard work was going to be stripped away. So why try?... 1st or 20th was going to be deemed equal after day two? It’s a who’s going to be the luckiest on the last day championship tournament, not a measure of who could catch them over multiple days; but hey, they voted on the championship tournament rules, right? And people wonder why MLF gets criticized all the time? Go figure.
So how is it any different from a 5 fish tournament when the top guys have a solid bag and don't want to burn through their spot/fish to add ounces? It's about the same thing. They go looking for other areas and running new water and looking for alternative patterns. Same thing the leaders did hear. Save their best area for the next day. Last weeks BASS event was pretty boring TV a lot of the time. They had to keep reverting back to highlights from the prior days. They needed to have filler for when they were fishing and not catching. I'd still prefer to watch guys fishing and hearing their thought process instead of flashbacks from the prior days or tournaments. With that said, if it's bass fishing I'm going to watch it regardless of the format or tour.   It’s night and day difference. An all weights count to determine winner, whereas with the MLF deadcrest, everyone gets a reset each time the field has a cut off, and in this case, that benefited everyone but Brian Thrift. THERE HE IS!!!!!! LOL

You guys crack me up! I bet you whine about low scoring football games and pitcher duel baseball games. They had the same cold snap over in Alabama that we had it Texas, but not obviously not as bad. Everything changed just before the tournament started weather wise.. Its fishing.. mother nature is in charge..

So does that justify resetting all weights to zero in the middle of a championship tournament? Instead of getting a measure of someone’s skill over the course of several days and changing weather conditions, it’s better to see those skills measured by only one day of fishing, like MLF is doing? Oh wait, someone that matters voted on this scoring format, so that makes it okay; Right?

Get off the thread Big O!
We were talking fishing.
That being said, the guy's with forward facing sonar are beginning to figure it out and pulling away,
Birge, Wheeler and Connell on brush piles, 2 using jerkbaits.
KVD forcing the shallow bite...he needs to get back to his deep/off shore fishing to be successful IMO. He has 360, he can find brush piles.

Just because it's different doesn't mean it's wrong. If any of the anglers don't like it. They don't have to fish it

I just don't understand some people's need to shut him down. I don't agree with a lot of what he says but its his opinion just like all of us have opinions. For some reason his opinions really rattles some folks. Rather than ignore him they try and shut him down completely.

I don't have him on ignore and he seems to be behaving himself after his latest trip to banned camp but if he continues to troll like he has in the past I will gladly use that feature.

Was not referring to JP. Talking about the few regular members on here that get upset over his posts and cannot resist one of his posts. If nothing else its entertaining to see.

Agree... Big O has an opinion just like everyone else, I've not read anything that would justify a cutoff;... he certainly rattles some cages for some reason... very curious...
Require a whole lot of luck...
