    It’s going to be hard for any organization to compete against that kind of cash and exposure.

    Big pile of money for sure.
    If I were in the position of which tour to go with, it comes down to a matter of long term trust. I don't think BASS has done much over the past few years to build much trust.

    A revolution every once in awhile can be a good thing. I’m sure all three tours are each sitting around a table trying to come up with something that in the end will benefit all anglers. Best thing to do is wait until this time next year to see what actually was successful.

    I think guys are going to choose each tour based on their personal fishing strengths. Some guys are not #s fisherman and some guys really know how to get on a pile and catch em all.

    This is a $ decision for the anglers. It is not - I can or can not catch 12 inch bass.

    More of a BASS fan however, if all of a sudden they can pay more why did they wait for the guys to come up with a new player first ?

    Some good payouts, unless you are in the bottom half of the field.

    He'd have to leverage everything, Discovery is worth 3 billion on the low end.

    I feel like BASS threw a hell of a curve ball at the new tour. I'm sure fishing the entire season for free...hell actually making $500 entices some to stay. Several will still jump ship, but it will make them think a little more.

    I agree. Mlf touts anglers not fishing for their own money and no entry fees (buts it's $48k to enter), meanwhile BASS really has no entry fees.

    As far as I know there has been nothing that states that will be an ongoing cookie for guys who commit yearly. My guess its for this upcoming year to entice some guys to not bolt for MLF.

    Unless there is additional info out there im not aware of.
