It isn't like they don't get a check at the end of the tourney even of they don't make the cut. Granted it isn't 100% back but it is more than the other tours pay if you miss the cut isn't it? 2016 Ranger RT188 Charcoal Metallic Dual Console 2017 Yamaha 115 VMAX SHO (VF115LA) SS Prop Minn Kota Ultrex i-Pilot Link 45" 80 lb.

Especially to those guys who came over because they were struggling in BASS to make ends meet. And I think it is more like "some of them have input". This. All day long. The few pros I have talked to said this was the #1 selling point and don't forget the veteran angler who did a very good video on the entry fees (Paul Elias maybe?). I wish all the tours well, promote bass fishing and get a younger generation off the video games on on the water.

Especially to those guys who came over because they were struggling in BASS to make ends meet. And I think it is more like "some of them have input". Well i'd say it's not a big deal. No entry fee was not a selling point. The original plan for BPT was to have entry fees. After every angler had already committed to it, then the anglers voted on no entry. Personally couldn't care less. However to say it wasn't a selling point is comical. Makes me wonder if you ever actually watched a BPT tournament the first year. Conservation and no entry fees were the two bullet points that the commentators hit on coming out of every break. Every angler was instructed to highlight those points in literally every single interview they did the first year. Every article published highlighted the no entry fee tournaments. I have no idea what the original "plan" was. I just know what the original reality was. And no entry fees was their #1 or #2 selling point the first year. When an organization abandons one of their main selling points people may discuss it from time to time. No surprise there.

IF by then they had enough sponsors to continue to the no entry fee they would. If not the fishermen would start paying fees. The anglers all thought they could make fishing as popular as golf and get a big TV contract. What they really learned was that fishing is just that fishing. And will never be a major player in TV sports. I imagine that Kroenke feels like he was sold a load of BS as he lost a lot of money on the deal.

When an organization abandons one of their main selling points people may discuss it from time to time. No surprise there. We are talking about 2 different things. Josh claimed no entry fees was a selling point to get anglers to leave BASS and join BPT. That simply isn't true. But you are absolutely correct that after they voted to not have entry fees. Then that was a huge selling point they used publicly to advertise the trail.

I dont understand why a lot of ya'll are constantly butt hurt over something that is none of your business. These guys are not stupid, they know what they are doing. If you want to complain, complain about how you are effected as a consumer. For instance, Marty makes me want to jab pencils in my ears.
