MLF?
I notice that there is very little Major League Fishing chatter in the forums-
What’s the general consensus on the format and the TV programming? And I’m curious as to the financial payout structure of the entire model.
Any insights?

One of the best for TV / SM Bass fishing business models out there. Small field, live updates, camera in each boat exciting. I think the format is great to watch vs highlights from a derby that happened a month ago. From a business perspective i would imagine the initial up front cost and overhead is big but it obviously makes money for them, or they wouldnt continue.

Re: MLF?
Been awhile since I posted on WB.
There is an active FB group in AZ that does a head-to-head bracket-style fishoff. Its kinda neat to watch how it progresses. yeah, I know its not MLF, but the style of fishing is similar.

Re: MLF?
I think it is a great format for TV. Pretty good format for the anglers as well from what I can see. IIRC it was developed by Outdoor channel and 12-14 top pros to create a new format.
From the pros perspective it seems as though they are always in it, if they can just find the right pattern. Meaning they can load the boat with numbers of fish in the final period and say the leader hasn't been able to adjust from the first period pattern. The sudden death with a cut weight is an interesting perspective.
If not mistaken, the whole thing is done in a week approximately 6-7 months before airing one round per week. I've heard some of the anglers mention they can't celebrate because they have to keep the winner a secret. I also like the 1 lb. threshold for a keeper vs having to measure the fish.
It is educational for me to watch the pro figure out a new body of water knowing someone else is catching fish.
I rarely watch the traditional tournaments anymore, but I will watch the MLF even if I know who may have won.

Re: MLF?
Im always amazed how the 3rd period is the most dynamic.. really shows me that the morning bite isn’t as important as i always thought —- its really about narrowing down a pattern, then targeting the bigger fish tactics and structure within the pattern

Best part for me.
The fish are caught, weighted and back in the lake. All while I get to watch.
Action, Drama and the agony of defeat .
