Team tournament. The men fish and the wives/girlfriends defend the rigs.
If it's going to be tough fishing make the whole experience tough. Hire a few guys to mug them at the ramp and then shout out info at their motels

Arkansas river
I would love to see them fish the Ohio River out of Louisville or Cincy. Allow locking as they please.
Arkansas river out of Little Rock is always a fun watch too.
Alabama river out of Montgomery is also always a fun one too.

You might be on to something.
There's lots of decaffeinated brands that are just as tasty as the real thing.
Hi Mike.
Didn't they have an alabama river tournament a few years ago and guys were getting beached up on big rocks? That was good watching.
The wolf and fox rivers in the winnebago system here in wisconsin are pretty good. The elites need to come to winnebago sometime, fishing is good and the weights are getting better.
I really want to see a west swing again, didn't they schedule the delta and the columbia river that year and revised it around the same time as the bpt split? I feel these tourney orgs need to get the west coast involved again as I feel that demographic is on an island so to speak.
Turn them lose on the TennTom waterway. That would be a hoot.

Hi Mike.
The pros are too poor to afford the gas to make a west coast swing (while they all have lifted new trucks and boats with 50K in electronics). Last time the Columbia river was scheduled you have most of the pros quit for MLF and the remaining guys threatened to riot lol. You would have endless whining and complaining, until they fished the Columbia and saw what an incredible and diverse fishery it is. Guys could win fishing either largemouth or smallmouth, and it'd take 20+ a day.

So, why is the Ohio river so bad? Has there ever been any kind of stocking efforts? I mean if it’s just so bad for so long, it’s never going to get any better without help…. Nobody cares? Is it bad water quality and a lost cause?
Flooding and lack of suitable spawning areas leads to a low population of bass in there.
The west coast guys don't mind trekking all over the country but the eastern and midwestern guys throw a fit if they have to go west of Dallas.The pros are too poor to afford the gas to make a west coast swing (while they all have lifted new trucks and boats with 50K in electronics
It's funny when guys rag on the west coast for poor Toyota series turnouts. They have zero idea that Clear Lake is 12 hours from Lake Havasu, and if you happen to qualify for a championship you are looking at a 40ish hour drive back east. It's amazing they got the turnout that they did

And guys like Ehrler and Reese do it every year.It's funny when guys rag on the west coast for poor Toyota series turnouts.

Reese had a great setup in his prime though (no idea if he still does it), where he had a full time driver and just flew to his destinations. Guys like Ish and Bryant Smith now both have west and east boat / truck setups and fly back and forth as well.

pony up the money they will go to any river you want
My point is they do it, but east coast guys can't be bother to make one trip out west.
Albemarle Sound should be every year!
