Are bass fishing fans loosing patience with B.A.S.S. and fishing tournaments all together? Is the drama within the organization and angler causing fans to take a step back and look more closely into issues happening non-stop? Are casual fans going elsewhere to watch fishing instead of the biggest organization out there? Let’s talk about it.

this level of attention should be directed towards the state fisheries when it comes to law enforcement and the way they manage our fisheries. too much poaching..too much pressure on small lakes. fishing in Georgia is in bad shape..I've been fishing for 62 of my 72 years.. I've seen a lot of bs. and don't forget..it's taxpayers money.
It's not just tournament fishing, I instinctively dismiss all the giant bass caught in the last 2 years, especially smallmouth. FFS has taken all the excitement out of fishing in general if you look at it as a sport.
What I think is ridiculous is that Bass now says to fish a B.A.S.S. must be on your boat insurance as an added insured , What right does BASS have demanding to be added to your insurance
Give them all a trophy.
Watching the Elites, is like watching paint dry……HOWEVER, watching St John's, this year, was VERY entertaining, watching the kids topple, and the veterans putting on a clinic.
Dumbest question of the year. No disrespect here.
Hey Steve.. watching your channel for awhile now, interesting content , well presented, could you tell me if NPFL has a magazine or a channel where I can watch either live or taped derby’s?? Thanks HAVE FUN!!!
Yes I am losing patience, with BASS really enjoyed watching the NPFL yesterday I really enjoyed the old school fishing watching Jason Christie throwing a spinner bait and the guy leading the tournament i don't remember his name but he was leading the tournament with a chatterbait i support NPFL 100 PERCENT FOR WHAT THEY HAVE DONE KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK GO NPFL
Npfl had terrible coverage again today probaly worse then last year and bass is all commercials and no fishing . Bpt is where it's at . They let the anglers be the stars and the anglers talk tell you what's going on and it's entertaing . The elites and so boring to watch now it's terrible
What is the Zaldain rule? I have been unaware of this rule.
Yes I have. I followed both MLF and BASS but this year I am mostly following MLF. I am really enjoying the FFS rule. It makes it more strategic.
Mlf is really good now. The ffs in one period is entertaining
BASS is about done for me.
I’ll be honest, comment sections praise NPFL mainly because of FFS, but the production was terrible today if you actually watched. The payouts are awful for the anglers, and when BASS experimented with live mix on YouTube it drew a lot more viewers than NPFL did today.
I like having a no FFS league, but I’m still not sold on the NPFL
I been watching bass fishing since the early 2000s. Whether im watchimg the elites or NPFL as of recent. Im still staring at their backs waychimg guys catch fish. But yes the drama is stupid and im sick of it.
Lmao! The elites are the best of the best.
MLF has changed their format every single year and people complaining about FFS all have it and use it.
The classic is the most prestigious tournament out there and will always be. But all this drama isnt stopping me from watching cause these guys are still the best.
What a confusing mess we have!
I love watching BASS elites opens. All of it. Competition. Strategy. It’s real tourney live action. Life is full of drama No different. All sports have drama. Life goes on. Change is good. Adaptation is good. Those who can no longer compete quit. All normal.
Nothing is as boring as watchin some non-fisherman stare at a scope and toss lures to dots n the screen. FFS should be banned because it is ruining the sport.
FFS has to be banned in professional tournaments. Period.
I like the NPFL, but the woman who said she caught her fish using 360 kind of blew up the technology thing.
if NPFL can get their video and coverage together they will rule. BASS and MLF have a big head start on them regarding tech. they need to hire a high level professional to bring up their game.
Hell yes I’m not watching that as much as I used to
Personally I’d rather watch FFS Bass tournaments.
Not applying equal punishment for running a no wake is untenable. This is exactly how they loose the respect of everyone. Chipping away at the foundation of BASS.
Well presented, thanks Steve
FFS has ruined fishing. It’s taking a toll on the crappie in my home lake as well. Please ban it
thoroughly enjoyed watching npfl today, and the weigh in
Great topic Steve !
Only bright spot for BASS lately has been their kayak series
Yes bass tournys as a whole are stuck in a rut I haven't fished a single tournament this year
It is ironic, but the drama off the water and breaking of rules on the water makes up for the boring-arse way they are fishing with FFS. Imagine if both the fishing coverage AND the rule breaking were boring! They wouldn't have anyone paying attention at all!
I think bass fishing is way over rated and everyone should just quit. Just quit and leave the lakes to me. You would be happier and have more money in your pocket. I promise I will maintain a healthy bass population. Leave them for me. All the drama will go away and you can sleep good at night knowing that someone is taking good care of the bass population. I promise to turn off my FFS.
Watching the NPLF was so refreshing! I have missed real fishing so much
If bass stays with ffs, they need stop practic days. Show up and fish, figure it out as the tournament goes on. Most people are more interested in how anglers break things down.
Absolutely…ffs not fishing
Unregulated gambling gaming commissions need to step in and regulate these corporations.
I haven't watched BASS except for a few times since the MLF split. Haven't even watched a Classic in years. They lost me a long time ago. All the new drama is all the more reason to stay away. I watched both the BPT and the NPFL today. It was great!!!! What do I need BASS for?
I just watched NPFL today and I can say, I was tuned in and I was happy to see actual fishing not hunting.
If you watch some of the old tournaments on youtube from like 06-2018 its so much more exciting just watching the old hour long format. Live is just too much who has the time to sit around and watch every cast just show me the good stuff. Also was way better with just Zona and Tommy i cant stand Ronnie hes a condescending douche and acts like hes so smart with all his tactical power point bs
If I had Elon's money… I would buy all three, have them sign 10-year non-compete agreements & make BASS great again. I would return to great member/club support, opens with co-anglers (combined weight ) and NO FFS, Elites that are 5-bass limit but immediate catch/weigh/release except your biggest two (hold up for the crowd at weigh-in, and all lower levels have paths to the Classic. BAM!
