Boyd is no Ray Scott. Boyd still fishes in a circuit that he directs. He also produces fishing products that he in turn promotes through sponsored pro's in the MLF. As long as you play nicely in Boyd's sand box, their shall be no problems in the MLF world. The MLF has been loosing traction when it comes to sponsors, air time/content, and big personalities (like World Wide Watson). I love the fact that the MLF does a tremendous service by operating their tournaments with Bass Care at the forefront. I dislike the continuity from year to year. It shows a bid gap in leadership, a failure in sponsorship dollars, purse payouts, and pro retention (clearly one would notice top pro's that have already left the MLF). I will end with my opening comment, Boyd is no Ray Scott
