Just to clarify the legends exemption doesn't take away a spot from say the opens or nation, but it just adds to the overall list. Currently, I think Clunn and Fritts are the only two taking advantage of the Legends Exemption. So really its just there more or less for the fans who still want to see those two competing especially Clunn.

I thought he'd retired a while back and went into the boat business then I saw him resurface a while back. I thought he'd done a stretch with MLF as well.

Makes them definitely commit...hardest part is having a job and getting that much time off to go fish for 9 weeks of the summer....That is the part I think really will limit some potential people

I think this is where having your own business comes into play. I want to fish a full divison or two of the BFL's and at least some of the Opens and Toyota Series in the coming years and with practice time figured in that is the only way I see that happening plus I can make the money to back myself when I'm not making someone else wealthy.
