Just going by all that are walking away from and dissatisfied Don't explain your position to beartrap. He is the biggest mlf brown noser on this website.

You should watch this. A current BPT angler and one of the guys on the angler panel speaks pretty openly about the new changes, current state of the BPT and future plans. Surely he would be a credible source seeing as he is one of the guys helpingmake decisions for the BPT anglers. You might be interested to hear that BPT thinks TV is a dying format. https://www.google.com/search?q=luk...amp;sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8# www.megabassusa.com

Then why did half their anglers threaten to leave a couple months ago? BPT is still yet to make a profit. And if their owner didn’t own 3 outdoor channels that they are on they would probably be gone.

But before everyone that's says I'm bashing them I'm not , I just like the live shoes best and when they have live I watch them.
