That didnt take long- seems the payouts are a problem to Milliken and others.
Oh well they can always not fish for a living. :)

It’s actually not a good thing financially for the majority of the anglers unless you win every tournament of course. My buddy calculated what he made in 2022 and 2023 and under the new system he would’ve lost 15k one of those years and lost 25k the other one. They paid spots 1-40 in aoy in the old system and now only 1-5. In a regular elite event it used to pay 10k to finish 30th now it’s $850.

they should run fruit jar side bets if they need some skin in the game to feel better.
bass fishermen are notorious gamblers anyway- that's what tourney fishing is all about right?
Best example- a high rock regular who used to travel to Oklahoma - to bet on chicken fights. :)

on the bass- some newer baits- some recycled from a local inventor (front runner) and one that is unlike anything we have seen for a frog bait. Enjoy.

If the first BPT event is any indication of what is to come it looks like the playing field will be much more level this year. The ding queens showed that they could only catch them with the scope in their one scoping period. Lots of whining about not being able
To have it the whole time. Interesting strategies. It was more watchable than anything they produced the past couple years.

I can’t watch them fish within ten ft of each other.
Another thing that the new cats can handle. Fishing in a crowd.
There is an entertaining you tube of Montgomery Defoe and Evers talking about the change. Montgomery predicts the exact way the tournament would play out.

As you can tell from my posts and most places I go I hate fishing around others in a crowd. I’ll have to check their video out. I like those 3 guys a lot. Have met Andy many times and Defoe as well. Both very nice.

Post a link up if you find it. I did a quick search with no luck.

The tournament organizations stream major events live so a trip to MLF and bassmaster home page will get you to the live streams.
They also produce highlights and keep the daily action archived.
Bassmaster does have a real time saturday sunday shows for their Elite and Classic tournaments somewhere on the Fox sports networks FS1 FS2 and some times on Fox. But they typically stop around noon.
A quick glance at their event schedules will alert you to the timing and both carry TV broadcast schedules as well.

@wolfman Herr is the live coverage from the bass open at Clark’s hill 2 weeks ago on championship day.


And this is the link to all of bassmasters videos


You can watch fishing for the rest of the year on that channel alone if you so choose.

Randy has never had a real job. All he has done is fish. How can he bitch about anyone making or trying to make a career out of fishing?
He has run out of secret bait tips so for content he stirs it up.
It works for him.
He now makes more talking about the fish he can’t catch than by actually competing.
A bass fishing version of retired athletes reporting on games they can no longer play.
Sadly he thinks he could still play if only the electronics were absent
Wonder why he doesn’t jump into the circuit that has banned ffs?😜

He is right up til a point. Livescope has made some very mediocre fishermen look like pros. But his bellyaching gets a little tiresome. I like him but he needs to give it a break.
I used to enjoy his videos. Some of his modifications really make sense, especially in highly pressured waters. Make it look different, more natural, should generate more bites in many situations. But he has driven me away with his obsession on FFS. I get it, he don't like it, please move on. He has beat that dead horse into a pancake. Focus on the positive and only talk about the trails that are limiting or have banned it. All the main organizations have some serious issues right now. I sure hope it works itself out before they totally destroy a great sport.
