I didn't say people would want to watch me, and after a while I don't believe people will want to watch big name pro XYZ do what we all do every weekend.
remember their first few press releases where the BPT Championship was going to be "bigger in size and scope than the Classic"...................only to learn a few months later "we can't get any manufacturers to show up to the consumer show so we pushed it back until 2020"
I’ve been fishing my entire life and I’d rather watch this all day every day compared to a Classic Weigh In. There are others that feel that way and I think it will bring in some casual viewers.
There are people that feel the same as you and a lot of them are 5 fish tournament who will never buy into this format. I just think that the number of people who fish tournaments and won’t watch doesn’t outweigh the number of people who don’t plus the casual fans.
If it were up to me I’d completely elimate tournaments all together but if there has to be one I hope this format sticks around even if they don’t televise it.
Format sounds as interesting as a fart in Mike Nelsons scuba tank. (SEA HUNT for the younger crowd, not that I'm that old)
There have been several MLF tournaments won off shore.
