All I know is I watched BASSMASTER ELITES LIVE the past two days on a major network channel. Did I say Live?!!
Coolest part about it was I DIDNT ALREADY KNOW WHO WON!!! I can’t ever say that about MLF when I watch it on something other than an iPhone. Hahaha. Their shows are nothing more than an unsuspensful recap of a 3-6 month old fishing derby. People still watch network channels? Guess the old folks do.

Fox Sports on an 80 led trumps google on my iPhone. So yeh. I guess I’m an old.

I am glad Fox Sports Broadcasts LIVE coverage of the BASS events via TV. The only thing better would be if one is fortunate enough to be able to go to the events and attend in-person. BASS has the best of both worlds, kind of like what most other professional sports offer.

I enjoy watching the live broadcasts of MLF and Bass but as far as watching shows that were filmed months earlier for TV only I could care less about them. As for this continual debate between Big O and MJ I would rather listen to Big O's side.

I see it as Mark addressing continual BS against an organization he is affiliated with by someone who clearly has a problem with MLF and is consumed with misconstruing reality. I don’t have a dog in the fight between Bass and MLF, but BO clearly does, and I do get annoyed by people who clearly have a bias who spend all of their energy misconstruing reality and making things out of whole cloth. I actually feel bad for people like that and worry for them. There is nothing healthy about what BO is doing.

The argument of being able to watch 1 live versus the other is just about irrelevant now days. If you have a smart TV(I would venture to bet the vast majority do), you could’ve watched mlf today live as well on your tv.

I don’t watch “Google on my Iphone” either but watch plenty of live sports “on an 80”without paying for it on a major network channel. Ask a high schooler to show you how.

But these MLF anglers catching all these fish on live streaming, it brings people to those areas that why they always have a host city willing to pay the fees. No difference than BASS, and crowds really don’t matter most are family or friends or people not really buying products cause it’s something to do and a chance to meet an angler you’ve always followed.

Would you watch a baseball game, recorded on your DVR 6 months later? Probably not. It’s irrelevant at that point.

Some of these folks will say anything to try and prop up that failed and flawed business model because they don’t want to see all those guys who fell for the career damaging “no entry fee” and “you’ll become a TV celebrity” bait they were fed, end up being shown to be the gullible fools they truly are. Meanwhile, going into the knockout rounds on Pickwick they have a good lineup of guys in the money where fishing should get even better than it already has been. It’s good to see a couple of the former FLW “smart money” guys sitting in the top 10.... their good decisions a year ago to vacate that slow motion train wreck are quickly being validated.

I’m simply stating the argument of not being able to watch MLF live is invalid. I can watch the same number of live events on whatever screen I want for MLF as I can for the Elites. I couldn’t care less about the business model, affects me none. I want to watch as much fishing from the best fishermen in the world regardless of format. I enjoyed watching Koby whack them in the rapids just as much as watching Connell catch a 9-5...... from my 80 inch LED
