If you follow bass fishing, you have probably seen rumblings from Boyd Duckett, few other anglers, BassFan.com and a few other outlets about Major League Fishing (MLF). A few weeks back they held their first event on Lake Amistad, but interesting enough, no results posted to internet or shared in the news.
Supposedly there are some real unique things to MLF format, real-time weights for whole field, so you can see what your competition is doing and results for public won’t be released until it airs on Outdoor Channel of pay-per-view web format. These are supposed to be ready for viewing sometime in 2012.
Other cool things, its only 24 anglers, supposed to be a week long event, no gps coordinates coming into event and immediate catch, weigh, & release. This week they also released a few photo albums on Facebook.
Looks like all competitors are fishing from BassCats or Nitro Z7 boats. Most anglers have very similar jerseys, not the full customization you see on the Elites Series. Also, Bass Pro, Scott’s, Geico, Busch Beer, & Jack Links appear to be a few of the key sponsors.
Supposedly the new style is made for the TV and internet fans, so it will be exciting to see how this all unfolds!
