Enjoy both but you gotta love the drama and excitement the MLF brings.

MLF & BASS are both fantastically ran events, I love watching them both, participating in their events, and have a huge passion for the sport. Hope they both keep growing and heck maybe even a 3rd premium platform arises.
I see pro bass fishing possibly taking off similar to golf in the 90’s, where purses start getting larger and it really starts to become a lucrative sport. MLF does seem to be the trail where the guys can make more money.

I like them both but cringe every time a BASS guy dumps his fish on the deck. Seems nets would be better than that. I don't know many of the young guys but admit that they sure can fish. Still prefer MLF but doesn't really matter what I think anyway. Just a old fart that loves fishing...both of them.
Never test the depth of the water with both feet.

I like them both. I wasn't into MLF at first but it has grown on me. Lots of good anglers and their youtube channels add to it. In all honesty though, it seems like a hard life if you have a family unless you are winning all the time like Wheeler.

IMHO MLF has the best format for many reasons.....they don't have a mob of spectator boats affecting the outcome of the tourny and they have far greater TV exposure and income for their anglers....their TV shows with the live scoretracker showing guys trying to reach the target weight or make the cutline is far more entertaining than seeing 3-4 guys dump bags of fish on the scales....if MLF hadn't come along,pro fishermen would still be fishing for their own entry fees and only have 30-35 hours of TV coverage a year....
Funny how weigh-ins weren't a problem for many many years, now some of y'all act like they are taboo. I am sorry, but there is nothing more exciting in bass fishing than watching the classic weigh in. MLF is a cool little weekend series, but it isn't professional fishing. How is it not professional fishing, pretty sure guys fish and get paid when doing well.

After sleeping on it over night... I still like BASS more... Always best to get a good nights sleep before making a life altering decision... Dan

I prefer BASS by a wide margin. More the format than the anglers/production value/business strategies/etc. Kinda arena football vs traditional. They're both football, just different flavors.

I’ve been told by a reliable source that 30 or so anglers will be leaving MLF next year. Could be the beginning of the end.

MLF guy for me. I have always been a numbers guy myself and don't care to only catch a few fish all day.
