(The guys who are fishing the BFL all American, and costa championship this year are shafted).

    But seriously, the ROY wins a Polaris ATV?? That’s something that you’d win in a club open. It’s almost a slap in the face for the ROY and doesn’t really offer an incentive push harder for the ROY.

    What does ROY win on the BASS side? I seriously don't know and have never thought about it. As far as the championship promises,,FLW made those promises, Not MLF.

    Looks like Elites should be knocking down the doors trying to get to the best Tour with the most TV exposure and best payout of 200000 for a MLF format championship on the new and improved FLW circuit. The Kroenke Duckett/Klein and partners partnership will make history. What's not too be excited about.

    I guarantee I’m gonna complain if I ever poop any kind of brick.

    I guess, but even if they wanted to spend more money to fish against more anglers for less money, how would they get into the FLW Pro Tour?

    Drew Cook won 39,000, for winning AOY and finishing 7th in points.

    i get they made the promises, I’m just saying the OP was being a hype man saying they really listened to the anglers and public input and that’s not the case. If they did, they would still have some type of encompassing championship. It’s a distance chance for the Costa and BFL anglers but it’s an added incentive. It’s not going to be detrimental to the lower tiers, but also shows they say they listen to anglers but In reality do not. I’m still going to fish the BFLs as it has no impact on my decision but just regurgitating the talk in club and BFL circles

    So MLF is adding more television & livestreaming coverage, increasing the number of payouts AND bumping the top 10 anglers to the BPT.

    How is this bad exactly? If I was on the FLW tour i'd be stoked.

    I put in bold the 2 issues people have.....

    doesn't matter the content for some, its just about being negative because its in regards to BPT/MLF.

    theres no way to do the bpt on the lower levels. How hard is that to understand.

    People think there's over 150 trained boat marshals available, all over the country, that can be ready to work dozens of events for multiple days!

    In all honesty, I think you could easily implement the MLF format to BFL's/Costa's using technology. That would eliminate the need for marshalls. I'm guessing MLF is working on this behind the scenes.

    True, but it does take the pressure off where people pee and what kind of water they put in their batteries.
