Rule changes and competition twists for 2020 on MLF Bass Pro Tour

[WB Staff]

TULSA, Okla. – Some notable rule changes and competition twists will be in play for 2020 on the MLF Bass Pro Tour, including a new minimum weight requirement that raises the standard on the size of bass weighed at national tour-level events.

Under rules approved this week by the Major League Fishing Anglers Association (MLFAA) and drafted into the official league rulebook, MLF will introduce a variable minimum weight system for Bass Pro Tour competition waters in 2020, starting with a 2-pound minimum weight for a scorable bass at the season opener at Lake Eufaula, Alabama (Feb. 7-12).

Minimum weights will be determined individually for each competition water to follow, based on the productivity, bass population and anticipated average size of fish in each fishery. With quality largemouth and smallmouth factories like Lake Fork, the Kissimmee Chain, the Raleigh-area lakes and the St. Lawrence River on the 2020 schedule, the potential exists for even more robust minimum weights.

Well on the other hand you could watch a person fish 8 hours for 5 bites equaling 15lbs.....that's exciting

I’d rather watch Alex Niapas catch 5 than Mlf
