I have pics with Clunn, Wendlandt, Lee Livesay, and the ones above, Swindle and Hite, and each of them were true gentlemen. Clunn spent 20 minutes talking lures, Fork, Skeeters, etc. with my 3 year old, at the time, he's 5 now. He took 7 or 8 pics, was willing to take all the time my son wanted. I'm sure some have bad days like all of us, but overall I'd say they are some of the nicest people you could be around!!

I wouldn’t say that, but it is sad that they don’t have any kids coming to the MLF events to watch the pros. I kinda feel bad for some of the pros too, it’s hard to build up a fan base when the only public interaction with fans you get to have may be at a sponsor event at some tackle store or bait shop. It kind of knees caps the anglers ability to build a following. That’s all in the life of an MLF’r though... they should have figured that into the equation before going into their deal.



professional basseball,football,basketball and golfers seem to done very well with their fan base with limited interaction with their fans....


That's because 99.9% of the under 25 crowd is reached through a screen. Instagram & YouTube Is where they build tens of thousands of fans; not from a couple dozen kids at a weigh in.


You have to be joking right? All of those sports mentioned first of all, have live attend in-person audiences where fans come and watch them play their games, something MLF seems to think they can do without. Second, they all also have massive organized efforts within those sports, mostly during and at those events, to have fan interaction with fans, and typically focusing on the kids, because they all know the future interest in those sports starts with the kids, and kids a huge revenue generators for related merchandise.

Yup, it’s all about the kids. My guess is your son was excited as he could be after that, felt like a big shot to have met someone famous (to them) and wanted to go fishing all the time.

There still might be hope since they thought his 7 lb'er was closer to 8.5! confused 3

I have Brock on my Fantasy Team so I can't be completely disappointed if he wins.

So BASS is hurting so bad they have to give out memberships. I guess that's so they can try to get their inflated numbers to sell to sponsors

Met Bill last year at Oak Ridge. He let me launch in front of him and was very nice. Hope to see him get the win today!!


Yes, a stand up guy. Him finding a kid in the crowd every time he gets on stage to give a BASS membership to is about as good as it gets. A true ambassador of the sport.

Yeah, cause ALL the MLF guys are total a-holes and hate kids.
