    Re: FLW Coverage

    Well here are my suggestions Chris Jones gone... Next, stop trying to build up FLW pros who **** example RJ Bennett, (just cause his younger bro is good doesn't mean he needs to get air) exception is Brett Hite he had a good year with two back to backs but slowed down the rest of the year; but if your not having a good tournament I don't want to see you... Stop trying to hail your pros as the best in the world, just show who's doing good in that particular tournament. The PAA had their first tournament with all the top FLW and BASS pros and guess what the top 3 were BASS pros. Im not trying to say BASS pros are better than FLW I'm just saying I want to see big bass and people on the top of their game. I also want to learn something that I already didn't know in Fishing 101. FLW doesn't say a thing either about the winning pattern in a show. My last rant is why does it take so long to produce a show too, it takes BASS a week and takes FLW around a month. FLW can be a good program if they work on things, I can relate more to the lakes FLW fishes than BASS.

    I wish they could take a hanful of FLW Pros and move them to BASS and it would be a true Elite series and leave the rest of the FLW pros with deep pockets and big egos fish on their own. I can't understand why you see the same guys getting 190th place over and over again and staying on the FLW tour. They might need to drop back down the ranks to the Strens or BFL's. Not saying I would do any better because I would probably be 191st every tournament but the difference is I know I don't belong on tour and I can admit it.

    I am not being confrontational but I watched the show 2 or 3 times and they were showing "East vs West" when they showed catches by the East - they showed catches from the West and vice versa, RJ Bennet toured before Michael did as he is the older child they talk about it in the show. In fishing 101 how do they know what you don't know? I have picked up a few tips here and there most I know some I don't. Some of the older guys can tell you B.A.S.S. didn't used to put it out in a week - they have evolved, FLW is allot younger than B.A.S.S. and can catch up. I understand what you are saying/feeling but there are allot worse shows out there for instance "Bass Champs" isn't up to snuff but I watch it because of the love of the sport and I love the competition of tournament style fishing in fact my favorite show is UMF but i would like to see more than they show. JMO, again I am not being confrontational I asked earlier about how time management could be better and ideas on it.

    I 100% agree that the FLW "Tour" should be the best in the world not those who can afford the entry that really haven't proved themselves anywhere else, I read the Charley Hartley blog on ESPN and that guy has proved himself... but he didn't cut the mustard last year and almost didn't make it back, and now he is an underdog that I would like to see more of because he's peeked my interest. And Chris Jones............. Bye, Bye. I would sign a petition in a minute to try to get Fish Fishburn on there!!!!
