I'll DVR this and watch it when I can....it won't be the same though since I already know what the outcome is going to be.

Thanks for posting F16.

Wasnt it sports center and racing? Haha

Would have been nice if it was live. I thought the tourney was this weekend with all the commercials. When will bass fishing get coverage over someone dealing cards??? Unless you fish you just don't get it...

Whoa guys not again this year .They are covering a bunch of real estate on the each day can't cover it live no-way. AND why not gripe and moan at flw . ALL of their coverage for any event is 1 to 2 MONTHS after the event happens. Case in point the First FLW in Fla happened end of Jan and won't air until Mar 20 . Just stop and think and quit comparing to ball games where all the action happens in ONE place in a 2-3 hour time frame

flw is just the minor league to bassmasters

Not really... more like AFL vs NFL back before the merger. Same talent, only one league has more money for promotion than the other.

Exactly, this has been explained on here on more than one occasion, but some people just want to believe what they want to believe.

Yes Way,

50 fishermen on Day 1. Pick 10 to have camera boats following them to start Day 1. Who cares how you pick the 10, random draw, peoples choice by vote, hell have a panel of respected people in the industry pick the 10 who they think will do well in the tourney, it does no matter. You now have 10 pros followed by 10 camera boats. We already have 50 spotters in each boat. Give each one of them a Cell Phone. I you luck out and happen to get the 10 guys that are killing the fish, so be it. If some of the 10 are not on fish the have the spotters of the other 40 boats call in with who is on fish. Move the cameras off the original 10 that are not catching them to whomever is if it is feasible geographically. Day 2, move the camera boats to the top 10 to start and adjust if necessary, Day 3 same thing. Seems to me, it would take 10 boats, 10 camera men, 10 cameras to cover 20% of the field to start and 40% of the field covered on the final day. 10 boats, 10 cameramen, 10 cameras seems all you need for LIVE coverage of a few fellas catching fish.

I think that is the way it was done. to get the show we got to watch this weekend BUT you FAIL to think about it just because you have a camera doesn't mean squat!!! You have to have a satcom unit to broadcast it from the location. AND THAT WON"T happen on the scale it would take for a tournament.... ALL you guys who want this just don't realize what it takes to broadcast LIVE . Can you imagine the guys running to venice , by the time the camera satcom (if it survived the ride) was dailed in ) the fishermen would be leaving. Some of them only fished 45 minutes !!!!! And as for the cell phone some of them where 120 miles apart yea call and come on over , they would meet each other on the return trip.

You would make a good politician just say it and it happens . No thought involved That is why it hasn't happened before and besides what network would tie up 8 hrs of air time for three straight days

Elwood, your argument ended the minute you mentioned cell phones. They hardly work anywhere on the delta. Ask Rendy Howell how good a cell phone works for you when you are stranded between Venice and Bayou Segnette.
