    Ike would have won.

    Under MLF format Ike would have won this Classic. He caught 30 to 50 small fish in his first spot under that bridge every day. Would that have been more exciting than the traditional format used in the Classic? What is your opinion?

    I thought Zona comment about a few having a hard culling was the best of the classic

    I didn't mean change the Classic, I was just comparing the two formats. I like the 5 big fish much better, more exciting in my opinion.

    Considering Ike finished 4th and only had 9lbs after day one I wouldn’t exactly call it a dink fest. That’s what many fail to realize, just because smaller fish are counted they think it’s a dink feat. When in reality the 5 biggest may not be that different of an outcome.

    More importantly, these professional anglers are moving the sport to a more fish friendly format. No longer holding fish against their will, in a toxic environment, with a potential death.

    He claimed to be catching 30-50 a day in one spot and had 9lbs on day one? How is that not dink fest? Take your best five to the scales, this is the classic, not BPT.

    Personally I like both formats, and live in a world that has both.

    Just think about all those fish that never make it back to the water at all, catch & release into grease they call it.

    Catching 9lbs on Day 1 killed Ike.

    Umm, he did. And finished 4th. What aren’t you getting here? And he didn’t catch that many on day one.

    I never disputed that he finished fourth, re read the OPs post, he said he caught 30-50 eeveryday. That a lot of dinks if he did catch that many, what are you not getting here?

    He weighed the 5 biggest out of that. You originally said take your 5 biggest to the scales. He did but it’s still a dink fest cause he caught too many fish according to you.
