I finally finished up watching first webisode of Major League fishing. I signed up for the the $18 Bass Pass which either gets me all the events or you can pay $3 per event. The first episode at the Challenge Cup at Lake Amistad was 114 minutes long, so for $3 you are going to get 8-10 hours of web coverage, pretty sound deal. I got a basement of $3 soft plastics not getting used right now.
The format is pretty unique, preliminary rounds where top 4 move on & bottom 4 go home, real-time scoring shared with all competitors, penalties, 3 periods of fishing, cumulative weights & no limits, immediate catch & release, restricted fishing areas, no practice, no GPS coordinates, I am sure we will find out more new stuff.
Cool Highlights from Round 1:
No Surprise KVD gets of to great start on a 6XD
Aaron Martens whines some
Jason Quinn does some work on Alabama Rig
KVD switches to what looks like MegaBass ITO 110 jerkbait late day, definitely not a Strike King Wild Shiner
Brent Ehrler & others spin out based on results from real time leader-board
Jack Link’s Sasquatch makes several appearances, always entertaining
But for me, the coolest things what to get an inside look how these pros break down water with only 15 minutes of scouting and make on the water adjustments. If you are bass enthusiast or tournament angler, I say this is definitely worth the money!
Watch the podcast page, our next episode will break down the MLF in more detail.
