never heard it mentioned .....does anybody know if the founders of MLF are exempt from being cut? I think it was owners in the past but McClelland was an owner and still got cut so think that is out the window. Duckett has had some of the worst results on that tour, he absolutely has to be kicked down to the invitationals unless there is a mass exodus to the Opens and Elites with legends exemptions bumping him back in. Anyone know who the angler owners still are, I think Skeet and Kelly Jordan are, Iaconelli might still be and he's no longer there. I think these guys: Ike, Ish, Swindle, Proniznik, BP and McClelland, left on their own.

Duckett hasn't been able to catch a cold for years, well, maybe a crappie off his dock. To allow him to stay in the BPT would simply confirm the sham that he is running.

Yep, they can also fish during the off-limits too and only get a five minute penalty. please correct me if I'm wrong but I read someplace that the reason for that 5 minute penalty was they had a tournament coming up on Guntersville where Duckett lives and has a dock on the lake....he was letting his grand kids fish off his dock and helped one of them reel in a crappie..... technically he violated a rule and they came up with a penalty that matched the severity of his offense..... Oh god beartrap spit it out already. He broke a rule that would've DQd anyone else and he made it where he was given courtesy. 5 min isn't anything. do you really think that helping your grandson reel in a crappie from your own boat dock is reason to disqualify someone?

McClelland got cut two years ago, https://www.bassfan.com/news_article/10631/two-owners-among-bass-pro-tour-cuts Ike left but last I heard he still had an ownership stake, but maybe not anymore

Not sure how many would want a ownership stake in the Titanic, get off before it's to late.

Is Todd Faircloth in? you know we bash all these guys day in and day in and out but they had to catch them to be there. These guys are all good, we know FFS has taken over but all these guys are great fishermen. The fact that FFS has took over is liken golf where grafite overn took steel . You have toadapt. some of the best fishermen (not FFS) readers will probably not make it. That's the way the sport is

Not sure how many would want a ownership stake in the Titanic, get off before it's to late. seems like i heard something similar back in 2019......MLF awarded over 5 million in prize money this past year...don't have a number on the sponsorship dollars paid to anglers because they had 338 hours on national TV exposure but rest assured it is a substantial amount ...keep in mind MLF has created an opportunity for an additional 80 anglers to fish for milions of dollars the past 5 years..... here's a list of guys and their winnings last year that you may want to contact and share your thoughts on why they should leave MLF before it's too late...jacob wheeler $294,000.,drew gill $257,000.,dustin connel $191,000.,michael neal $240,000.,zack birge $183,000.,Skeet reese $168,000.....

Matches my list except for Josh Bertrand, I had made a mistake in his lifetime AOY.

I'm not sure on there business structure but it's probably similar to most law firms that have Senior managing partners and equity partners, if you're not familiar with that structure, look it up and it will make some sense. Don't ask me how I know.

... do you really think that helping your grandson reel in a crappie from your own boat dock is reason to disqualify someone? Didn't KVD get dq'ed for having someone or was he on the front deck while the boat was under big engine power during practice while he was with BASS???... And hasn't BASS dq'ed guys for having family member in the boat during practice??? The rules say... And I'm right there with you... BASS has at least 22 pages of rules... 22... How many does MFL/ FLW/ BPT have??? And Boyd wrote them and approved them... Dan
