Thoughts On The Major League Fishing Format?

He's not gonna say anything he's a sponser..

I saw that episode where the rod snapped. I was amazed. I was actually going to ask a question about the Duckett rods as it seems most of those pros seems to use Duckett. I was curious if they're that much better or they just sponsor well.

 

The show is interesting and I enjoy watching it. I don't know how tournaments work but I like this one.

One guy breaks a rod flippin' in the jungle doesn't mean a thing.  I wouldn't say "most pros" use them, but there are a half dozen top flight names using them.  They're well made, if not a little better than others at that price point.  If I needed more rods, I'd be looking hard at them.

I thought this lake would produce a lot bigger bags of fish.  Seems they are catching a lot of dinks that weigh...The last lake in NY had a lot more fish being caught (up to 20 fish in a bag) and the weights were even similar.  I guess it's just that much harder to find the fish in this lake?  I was expecting them to be pulling out 8-9-10lb Florida bass left and right...Guess not when you don't have time to scout the area and practice first...

I actually enjoy that they show the rods breaking as it shows that it happens even to the top guys.  Bobby lane broke 2 Veritas rods, 1 spinning and one flipping.  Brauer broke a rod with fish on and had his reel pop out of the reel seat on another. 

 

Just makes me feel better know that it happens to the best as well lol..

Jus watches it and saw Lane throw his rod and reel in the lake, wondered if he fished it out..?

Rods break,part of fishing.Most of the pros have a dozen or so laid out o the deck,cant tell you how many times they step or lay down on them when they get excited landing a bass. Sixty five# test braid does not yield to a log on a hook set and these guys and most of us swing for the fences on a jig bite.

I think it is epic.  I can sit and watch someone that can really knows what they are doing for a really long time.  Last nights episode the big ones were turned on before the Hurricane.  Hackney hooking a gator was awesome.  I like watching Tak and Ish fish, Biffle is fun, Ehler is great.  For TV you can't get any better than the way this sets up.  It is super back and forth with everyfish counting and limiting the lakes into zones is a pretty good idea, leading to more drama over spots.  For TV fishing I think casual fans are going to really like it if they give it a shot.

I agree

I love MLF like I said, but I wanna see them do a tourney where it's not all flipping and pitching. How about some reservoirs for some deep cranking, or drop shot etc? By the time I'm done watching MLF, I'm gonna have the flipping power of Denny Brauer. MLF needs a tad more variety on the type of fisheries that are chosen.
