The only thing worse than watching BPT is watching the BPT catch smallmouth. I would rather watch paint dry. Sorry for the honesty. you probably aren't old enough to remember when there was no streaming,no TV and you had to wait 3 months until the magazine came out to find out who won a tournament even the classic?.... same when there was no Bass Pro Shop or tackle wearhouse...only source you had for fishing tackle was a local bait shop or a hardware store and a good fishing reel would cost you a week's pay....and there were no trolling motors,if you wanted to bass fish,you reted a leaky boat and carried a little outboard and paddle to get you around the lake...... be grateful that you have the options you do now instead of watching paint dry... Not to mention that the lakes weren't as level back then as they are today. Had to paddle uphill both ways just to get to the best spots. Was that after WWI or WW2? 
Eat. Sleep. Fish.

Before I started paying golf, i thought it was as boring watching a soccer game. But once i started paying golf, I found that I enjoyed watching golf. I could imagine how I would have hit the ball....mind you much different than the pro's did. Mine usually ended up in the woods or in the water. But...the point is once you participate in what they are doing you really cannot appreciate the effort they do put into catching those smallmouths or any fish.
I really am not interested in watching any deep sea fishing, but I'm sure if I did do that type of fishing I would be very interested in it.
Oh...and soccer is very,very boring for me to watch. Golf and soccer are always options that haters could watch.

This is such a silly discussion. The fish they were catching on the SLR were bedding smallmouth. SM bed in a lot deeper water than LM, and in the case of SLR, its crystal clear. If there is no wind, then you can see them with just sunglasses, but if its rough.. another tool was required.. a flogger. I watched all 6 days off an on and I saw very few of them watching a graph.. about the only thing they used them for was mapping and way points.
Its fine if you don't like the BPT format, but what Wheeler did was incredible.. and there were 79 guys that couldn't duplicate what he did.. hence he won by 20lbs or so. And if it mattered.. his 5 fish limit would have pushed 30lbs.

No. Watching someone else fishing is boring.. Dan

Than watching pros catch smallmouth while staring at their graphs for hours. Stare, hook fish, reel in, stare hook fish, reel in. This is the most boring fishing TV there is IMO. Nope, Golf is wayyyyy worse.
