Duckett was the butt of a lot of jokes here on the BBC... JM is one of the most hated guys in the bass fishing retail world...Now they're the "saviors of bass fishing" and defender of the downtrodden bass pro... Dan
For me the MLF shows grew old after a few seasons. I enjoyed when BASS live became a thing.
All joking aside, if all were asked to commit to 3 years, and they don't have a championship next year, I'd think they're missing out. Only 2 classic type events in 3 years, wonder if they knew that?
The championship was supposed to have been the big money, right? $500k or something like that?
They are still having the championship, but the 2019 championship just will not have an expo like the classic. I get that some people want this to fail, but I'm not one of those. While I do not like everyone involved, I hope it succeeds. It will be more fishing to watch and learn from.
Unless I am mistaken, the pros who went to BPT are not necessarily committed for 3 years and there was no non-compete agreement that they had to sign. On the other hand, BPT did commit to the pros for 3 years..."join us and you will be guaranteed to be on the BPT tour for 3 years without being cut."

Is MLF the one where the winner is decided by who catches the most 1lbers?

What is Wicked Weasel's thoughts on this?
Always thought women were the ones who could be more jealous and hate more than men but it is not so.
Yes this has always been my understanding. They said point blank they would not stop anglers from fishing other circuits. They also said it was a 3 year commitment to the anglers selected.
The whole there is a non - compete I believe is just a rumor. Now I do believe they are under a non disclosure agreement.
