True VMAX,

But, his show was always about him fishing BASS. If he doesn't get an exemption, or requalify through the "opens" (can't remember the new name), he won't have a tour to fish if he can't go FLW, unless he does the new Southern and Central Opens, and they only have three tournaments each. So, if he only fished one, he would only have three episodes, six at the most if he fishes both. Maybe he could fish the Midwest Sportsman or something I guess, but would that have the same prestige and drawing power?

For angler on tour to continue with the format of following an angler fishing a particular tour, he has to be fishing one of them. Now he could change his format perhaps, and follow other touring anglers. That would be interesting. Maybe a different angler each week? Or pick one and follow him for a year, then another the next year? I can see some attractivness to that, but he would likely then have to pay those other anglers, unless he picks obscure anglers that no one really knows much about.


Tight lines and God Bless
