    What happened to the pros?

    What is happening to the skeeter guys? Mark Davis, Kelly Jordan, Alton Jones and Alton jr...all the sudden they are gone from skeeter. I know Rojas was last year but dang seems like some crazy stuff going on.

    If that is true good on them for taking a stand on the organization but unfortunate for the ones that are paying the price. Like swindle said. There will be many pros paying the price for mlf to eventually succeed

    Guess I haven't heard about the problems with MLF, I have noticed a format change in the show. New announcer etc...
    I do love the tournement format idea though. And anything that has to do with TV and money is bound for change.

    IMO it's nothing more than a movement out of the BPT.
    No other Pro's lost their sponsorship in other fishing organizations.

    There are still Skeeter guys in BPT as well as Yamaha guys running different brand boats.
