Mike mcclelland owns a share of MLF, look what he’s doing, trying to get back to the elites because…
A. He fishes 5 fish events better. B. Bass is better than MLF He is in 76th place in the opens so he isn’t fishing for 5 fish any better than he was fishing under the mlf format… But he is still a MLF owner that was offered a spot to stay/return to the BPT but is choosing to fish another league. Oh for sure he doesn’t like it and there is “turmoil” there or whatever you call it. I was just commenting on guys that supposedly excel in the 5 fish limit versus every fish counts and we usually see with the exception of a few outliers that the talent required to catch all of them or the best 5 is the same talent- you can either do it or you can’t .

So has your "buddy" called you back???... Is he just gonna keep his tail between his legs, head down and tow the BD line???... Or grow a pair and stand up for what's right???... I mean, Watson stood up and took his ball and went home and hasn't lost any sponsors. And the way you described your "buddy" he's more accomplished and established than Watson...

Nope, haven't talked with him since we talked earlier. I have no clue, we never discussed that issue. The entire conversation wasn't all about that. We talked mainly about hooking up and fishing Logan Martin and Lay Lake before he heads downs to Florida for a tournament.

Watson has a small amount of FU money- obviously evident from his shirts and hats…that tends to make decisions a bit easier..

All but a few are fed up with BPT, that’s how that is, everyone moved off to the greener “free” Pasture, look how it turned out. What is it? Fish Boat Docks?

There are always scaredy cats in the group that are too scared to share their opinions. They just get by, go with the flow, and let a guy like Watson sink, even when they agree with them. I think it’s a word that starts with c and ends with d not sure…

My favorite is when MLF/BPT anglers diminish their “Super Bowl” the redcrest by calling the classic the “Super Bowl”, which it is…but shouldn’t the BPT folks be trying to promote their event and making their event the Super Bowl, it’s as if they’ve been beat and even they know it.

... Watson has a small amount of FU money- obviously evident from his shirts and hats…that tends to make decisions a bit easier.. He may have a few bucks laying around... But he also has a lifestyle he has to pay for... Let's not pretend that the BPT is the only tour out there... You've got the TAA, NPFL and BASS. Remember when the "superstars" of the sport left BASS???... Well if they're truly "superstars" they've got an easy choice to make. They can continue to bend over and take it from BD and BPT or make the jump... Dan
