I no it's a bit off the main topic but who were we thinking the banned big o is ? Luke Dunkin or the Hot chick that used to be on MLF TV? Its Randy Blaukat. That is 100% reasonable. I hear Randy is working on sponsor deals from "No More Tears" and "Kleenex"

So they are paying entry fees that they voted to pay? 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?

... I thought he was asking about the younger one that was their "Media" person. I watched part of the first season and she's the only hot chick I remember... ... Too many cuts, too may elimination rounds, sudden deaths... I'm a simple guy, cold beer, hot chicks and short concise tournament weigh-in where the guy with the most weight wins the big trophy... Dan

Aly Akers was the BPT's media/social media person.
Sheli Sanders ran the score tracker updates on the Cups. & Select events.

700 more, and the anglers had input on it? Why is this a big deal?? When your number 1 selling point to get people from BASS to come over is "no entry fee", and now you are paying an entry fee that is more than an Elite event, it is kind of a big deal. 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.

They were to have entry fees originally, then Kroenke got involved and they were told there would be no entry fees for 3 years. 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.

The anglers had a choice of no entry fees, they did not have a choice when they implemented the entry fees.

They are all big boys. If they are unhappy, they can go somewhere else. I like BASS better, but BPT is something different and fun to watch also. 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.
