Wasn't he seminole wind over there?

If anyone here don't like BigO, then why don't you leave. Save yourself some stress.
BigO makes way more sense than most of y'all because y'all don't know what you're even talking about and

"Their sample size isn’t small, it’s the largest in the industry across TV, digital and events. MLF regularly shares key metrics and information with sponsors and partners that need the data. It’s not a mystery for those who need to know.

So... who knows really besides MJ and whoever else "needs" to know. I sure don't.

I do know that BASS has been advertising the Sabine River tournament heavy around here with TV commercials and billboard signs in all the towns around here, not just Orange. Even during the evening news broadcasts I've seen the advertisements on TV showing the attractions they have planned for the locals to come out and enjoy the several days of fun and festivities they are offering for anyone to come out too and enjoy for FREE.
It's not just a small street corner gig either. it will be several city blocks worth of stuff to do, including a carnival for the youngsters and lots of food vendors and local businesses with canopies and displays set up.
In the past they have had tournaments where highschool anglers who qualified got to fish a tournament in the boat with some of the pros who didn't advance to the final day and they weighed in on the big stage right before the pros weighed the final day.
They allow a lot of highschool anglers and youth to help with the weigh ins and they can interact with the pros and be a part of the show.
They also give away BASS memberships to some of the youngsters there. Not because they are desperate for members like I've seen stated here in these forums by BigO, BASS distracters or haters or whatever they are, but because they are BASS and that's what they do.
Come on down and see for yourselves and have some fun and see what a BASS tournament is like when the fans are involved and welcomed by the host.
It is special and I am thankfull that they are coming back here to fish the Sabine River system.

Dubee,

You and duck hunter both are making claims about me that I DID NOT SAY.
Y'alls obsession with BigO is affecting your comprehension skills big time.

I said BigO makes way more sense than most of y'all. You just reinforced that for me because you are making no sense at all.
Show me where BigO said MLF can't get new sponsors.
Maybe he said that and I missed it but I don't think that's what he said. You want him to back up his claims, Back up yours!
Back up your first two sentences in your last response with some facts while you're at it. You can't do it because that is your opinion not based on facts at all.

You have an issue with BigO
He has an issue with MLF
Y'all both have opinions and state them well.
That's all good.
I have no issues with you or BigO, and I like to read both of y'alls opinion.
I'm too ignorant to know who is actually stating facts or not but it don't matter really, it's just entertainment for me.
that's why I'm here. I know that may sound silly but I don't have cable TV and I have not seen a BASS or MLF show in years except for live in person BASS tournament attendance that I get to do ever now and then.
My issue is with those who want BigO banned for lack of facts or lack of identity, when they have no facts to back themselves with, nor identify themselves either which would be Ok if they would extend that same benefit to BigO

One thing that is so often mentioned but ignored herein is the simple idea that if someone don't like what BigO has to say. Don't read his posts. THEN for sure don't respond to them.

They give away subscriptions for free to meet circulation numbers promised to advertisers so it ain't all roses.

The issue is these threads are always 99% speculation. They are played out, and all follow the exact same structure.

We get it, Big O doesn't like MLF - there's plenty of threads identical to this to support that. Mark Jones agency works with MLF, indicating he is very well in the know of how they are performing at least in the engagement side of things. These threads are just exhausting. I don't care if you like MLF, BASS, TNPFL, pineapple on pizza, or black licorice -- what I don't understand is the need to devote so much energy to letting everyone know you dislike it.

Regardless, you can't evaluate a business based on their outward appearance. BASS was in some hot water some years back, but they aren't going to publicize that. Why would a company, especially a small company, show the public they're hurting? Not good for business. MLF also ran into some road blocks - which is why they have entry fees now - which were voted on by the anglers. Personally it's all irrelevant. I am a FAN of the sport, not an investor in these companies. I want them to succeed because I enjoy the content that both put out - and that's all 99% of us in this forum are...just common people who share an interest in fishing. Let MLF and BASS compete for your viewership, and watch whichever one you enjoy...or hell, watch both if you can and want. Who cares.
