This change came because there was going to be a mass exodus of anglers . And still might very well be several abandon the fairy tale MLF Where they gonna go???... They've kinda screwed themselves... Opens are stacked and packed, NPFL is out there but with little to no meaningful coverage and MILF/ FLW just axed their open level series... And with the economy in a recession it makes it even tighter... Best to sit tight and ride it out... Dan Back when MLF first started up and they basically had a mass exodus of top pros from the BASS Elite series of folks to fill the roster @ MLF, I thought BASS was done, but it didn't turn out that way. There were young guns waiting in the wings to fill those spots and at first I didn't think they'd gain enough traction to keep BASS viable but they did and lot of those guys are houshold names now. If either series looses folks they'll be young guns waiting in the wings to fill the spot. If you are going to get paid to do this for a living either series has the potential to get you there and that is the draw for these young guns.

Mark. You fuel it every time you digest food! What an ugly thing to say I hadn’t had dinner yet. Was hungry and knew you were eating steak and lobster.

I can't help but wonder how different many tournament anglers would view MLF now had they just started their organization with a little humility instead of the balls out we are right and everyone else is wrong attitude that they did. That approach was a huge turnoff to many. Even a person like myself that enjoys the MLF content cant help but say "Well there goes another one of the foundational principle they pounded their chest about in the beginning down the drain". It all stems from that arrogant beginning. I wonder if they will ever be able to shed that? I think they could if they would just come out and admit they were wrong about some things in the beginning. Highly doubt that will happen though. I also think that some change is good, but constant change is not. MLF needs to land on something they can stick with for a good while. People are tired of the constant change. The MLF brand only has one identity at this point....CHANGE.
Last thing, I don't buy for one single second that these changes don't revolve around money. The fact that anyone would insinuate otherwise is laughable.

Dunkin said today some pretty big names were still leaving BPT. He mentioned Bobby Lane specifically.

Thread on LiberalBoatCentral says that Larry Nixon is heading back to BASS. I’m not sure how much he can compete anymore, but he’s definitely liked by many of us “old” guys.

Winning all 3 championships would certainly be something next to impossible to be repeated again.

I wonder if Nixon would qualify for a legend exemption since Fritts retired?

All this just makes me dislike BPT even more than ever. I wouldn't care if they went under. Full of lying, changing rules and blatant cheating.
I can backlash toilet paper.
