Evidently bass wouldn't address the needs & wants of the anglers (their bread & butter) so they went to MLF. I wish they were still at bass too. I'm also not watching MLF to see them either unless it changes a lot because i can't stand the format. The putting down of the evil livewells that they never had a problem hauling fish around in while trying to become a big name in the sport is just being a bunch of hypocrites . I really like watching Christie, Wheeler, Defoe & KVD but i haven't saw them since they left. Thankfully Paulanik is back with Bass. I'd say you're going to see a bunch more try to come back to Bass in the future unless something changes because most of the bigger names have pretty much became irrelivant. I mean how often do you hear about KVD since leaving Bass & he's the top money winner of all time? They also claim a lot of anglers are having it a little rough financially because a lot of sponsor money has been lost because they were told they'd have to kick in more & instead some of them bailed. Gene we were typing our somewhat different opinions at the same time evidently. lol
