  1. Man i think you should do what your heart tells you,npfl and the opens are great but I would stay away from the other,the EQs should only le the elites that get bumped out not all of them that just ain't right,either way whatever you decide I'll support it,good luck buddy

  2. I say fish One Division be in the top 50 make it to the elites. Just my opinion I don't think the elites should be allowed to step down and cherry pick open tournaments or EQ from guys who are trying to make it to the top level.

  3. If I was in a spot where I could do what I wanted, I would cherry pick tournaments and focus on the show and other opportunities you have until all of the “trimming” is done with MLF and rule changes calm down at BASS. That is if qualifying for one is your goal

  4. As far as what you should fish next year, I think the real question is, if you were to qualify for the Elites is that something that you really want? If the answer is yes then I say fish the Opens again. Whatever direction you take, I hope next year is a good year for you, remember to have fun and enjoy what you're doing.

  5. I wonder if the elite anglers points wont count like they dont count now in the current "eq's". Like if an elite series angler fished all 9 eq's and placed 9th, then the 10th place angler would still qualify for the elites..

  6. Real men don't need or use forward facing sonar. Fake fishing with FFS is lame and boring to watch. I watched a fisherman brag that he was in the running for Angler Of The Year all the while using forward facing sonar. Are you kidding me!

  7. I think which series you chose has to be based on if you want to become an Elite or a BPT angler. Only reason to do either the Opens/EQ or Invitationals is to try and qualify. I do feel your fishing brings some value to your channel and TV show, so I like seeing that content. My gut says you would like to be on the Elites for at least a couple years and with this change you can give it at least one shot even if only through just one division. The new opens/EQ sounds like a solid move. I sort of hope they just make the rules consistent even though I think they missed a little with the 360 and FFS debate, but had to start somewhere. That’s a whole other subject.

  8. You need to do what makes you happiest boss man!! You are awesome in front of the camera and we all enjoy your content! But you are a talented angler and you always put in 110%! I know one thing!! You got to be twins to keep up with your demanding schedule but with the incredible support of your family, sponsors, and fans you are gonna achieve any goals you decide to set. It's an honor to be part of your Let's Fish team and we all got your back!!!! 💪🤙🏼🙏🏼

  9. What’s up lil buddy I think you should fish the npfl and fish around home if I lived in Hemphill I would focus on those two lakes. And keep doing the awesome work on your fishing show you have spoke legends and sticks around you that would make good tv. Dearman,Faircloth etc

  10. Npfl bro love your show keep it up..why fish the opens and qualify only to have all the elites drop down and fish the eq series against the guys who work their but off to get there..and they dont have to qualify..nonsense…npfl…good luck in whatever you decide andrew

  11. I think it’s hard to decide until we see the schedule. I would like to see you stay with BASS and at least fish one division to try and qualify for the EQ. 4 tournaments is manageable and adding 3 more if you qualify isn’t as difficult as committing to all 9 like previous years. Wish you the best.

  12. You say you're busier than ever now, if you fished the EQ'S and qualified for the Elites how would you possibly have the time to fish the whole season. If you fish one division of the opens and happen to win one and qualify for the Classic, that would be a good year and leave you time for the other things in your life…. But keep family first.

  13. I like the change. What I don’t like is the elites will be able to jackpot the EQ’s. That is straight up BS. I do think the actual rules for the opens and EQ’s should mirror the elites. Makes boat rigging easier.
