I think BASS chose to address the FFS paranoia through scheduling.  MLF has already shown us how different Texas in February is from Florida in February.

Looks like another good start for Bill today.

Think he’s only got a 9 lb limit but definitely reeling them in fast! I’d be smiling ear to ear with a 9 lb limit, that’s a monster bag for me 😆 

 

People are catching a good many 5 lbers and moving up the leaderboard.

Bernie Schultz is on the big ones. Just boated a 9lbr.

And guys like Easton and Trey had nearly empty bags the first two days.

Shane LeHew closing the gap 4.6 lbs behind the leader Dollar Bill.

Bernie Schultz just jumped to 5th place with a big girl 9.5 Lbs.

I think it was a happy accident but agree this is a terrible schedule for scopers.

 

I feel like the schedule is 1000% dictated by profit and who's willing to pay.   I don't think another factor comes into play.

Isn’t that usually the case?

That’s what their stated intention was.

I actually like the “halftime show” idea. I appreciate experts breaking down the fishing during the tournament. 
 

I get what they’re trying to do with the humor… kinda following the NFL pregame/halftime shows and the hilarious Inside the NBA on TNT. Yesterday was too much though so maybe dial it back. 
 

Nice to engage with some of the anglers and get them more exposure with fans. 
 

Would be cool to really break down the top technique(s) they’re seeing out there and maybe even with a demonstration. Add some education. 
 

It adds a sponsored segment so that’s good for them. I do think it should be a little shorter.

Hoping Swindle gets in!

Looks like our Indiana boy is going to stay on top today. I've watched the coverage off and on since the start of the week. Personally the only thing I havent enjoyed is the halftime show and the coverage being cut half through on roku and fs1. Yes I know you can watch it on Bass and link it to other devices but thats a little bit of a hassle in my opinion.

Very clunky

Yeah it works fine on my phone as well. My point is it's easier to watch it on one of my TVs if I can just select FS1 or Roku channel. Insted once the broadcast on fs1/roku is cut i have to pull the broadcast up on my phone then cast then link my phone to my tv. It's a bit of a hassle and I'm sure a lot of people who are not tech savvy struggle with it. It also probably hurts the viewership overall but mabey not. On another not look at that 31 lb bag man that would be a day on the water.

[AlabamaSpothunter]

If there's shell beds on a fishery, there's a great chance John Garrett is going to win the event.

 

Dude pulled 31lbs before 1030am.    I suspect his spot is loaded with fish.   He's likely got this derby won if I had to guess.    I just can't see Lowen's fish holding up tomorrow.

 

Whatever happens, please don't let a Johnston win 😁
