Can’t wait to hear some of the complaints on the local Fox station about their programs being preempted by fishing. At least it’s not Judge Judy.

you wouldn't be seeing them if not for the ingenuity of boyd duckett and gary klein who started major league fishing and showed there was an audience for competitive fishing on TV....BASS had 30 plus years to grow the sport and never got past 30-35 half hour segments each year....MLF now has over 800 hours on 3 networks and their success has enabled BASS to finally get a few hours TV exposure of their tournaments.... Unnecessary comment care to explain why you think my comment was unnecessary?.....the original poster made a comment that he never thought he would see live TV coverage of a bass tounry and I posted the reason he is seeing live coverage.... Because it always turns into a pissing match with comments such as these. I'm 100% pro BPT & BASS. I watch & support (member of) both organizations. And I mean no disrespect to you either.

To me the only reason it’s on a “regular” tv channel, is because Fox and Fox Sports, and it’s the Classic at Fort Worth. I don’t think it has anything to with Duckett, Klein, MLF. Doesn’t BASS already come on FS1 anyway? I think ever since they left ESPN it’s been on FS1. JMO

I know you find Boyd to be the greatest thing to come along, if he was, the MLF/BPT would be on major networks. Fishing draws almost worthless ratings. I will not be shocked in the least when the current contract is up and FOX drops them.

Now they are showing summer league football that as best I can tell none watch..... but if you want to gas light feel free to do so. I got no dog in the fight.

Glad Boyd and whoever work so hard for BASS....wait....what 🤔 I dont care either way and just watch....but BASS seems very accessible to Joe Public in 2021

I must say as for watching fishing on TV this week (albeit streaming), watching Kevin VanDam and the bass pro tour in Chickamauga was hands-down better coverage.
I saw a picture of Kevin Vandam at the expo of the bass master classic, I’m sure his star power gave that expo a shot in the arm plus I’m sure there were many of the other stars from bass pro tour there.

Some folks don’t have that button. Sure did not see much fan fair about the letters winning this week. But I bet everyone will know who will be the winner of this.

Not many people recall or hear much about the last elite event winner either, just a regular schedule win. Since it appears your new to the fishing scene, Not a single person remaining at BASS or fishing the classic this year can hold a candle to KVD regardless of who wins tomorrow. Best of the rest is what we are watching this week and thats ok. I like both fine.
