Matt Lee jumped! This must mean Jordan's gone. Bass must be BEGGING Brandon to stay. He's the only young "star" they will have left?

We ran to Mille Lacs yesterday afternoon. The weather was pretty awesome. We bombed around the north end and ran some new water. There's some reefs i've been wanting to spend some time on. The Ned rig was the most consistent bait all day, a regular TRD on a heavier head. I dropped a dropshot on MANY fish that were holding to rocks.. and not a bite. It was weird. The walleyes were ON FIRE. I think we caught 2:1 walleyes to smallies. They were in all the depths on the reefs. It was pretty fun actually. If you have a chance, run to Mille Lacs soon. The fishing is pretty great at the moment.

The Classic is going to be must-see television. It's going to be the most awkward thing in the world knowing that these guys are all bailing on Bass. It's going to be very interesting to see how they cover that. It's going to be hilarious when someone wins it that is going over to MLF immediately after. They better start praying that someone who stays around wins the classic so they have somebody to promote. You know someone in a Bass meeting brought up disqualifying all of the flippers from fishing the classic. I really hope there's a documentary on this in 4-5 years that gives you all the behind-the-scenes stuff.

Casey Ashley jumped! That's one I didn't see coming. So to show how truly bad this is for Bass, out of the last 12 Bassmaster Classic winners.. only 2 have not announced they are flipping to MLF: Takahiro Omori *flipped KVD *flipped Boyd Duckett *flipped and destroyed Bass in the process Alton Jones *flipped Skeet Reese *flipped Chris Lane *flipped Cliff Pace Randy Howell *flipped Casey Ashley *flipped Edwin Evers *flipped Jordan Lee

It will be catastrophic if PB and Lucas both go. Nail in the coffin. All the work Bass did to promote and build their "next generation" down the toilet.

I'm really curious about Brandon Palaniuk

I think it's obvious KVD will be in MLF.

Fred jumped and there's a rumor going around that Lucas is going also.

This is the worst possible situation for Bass, their roster has been totally decimated. This is a dark week for them.

Man.. Elam wins the final Bass tournament of the year, quits 2 weeks later. Crazy stuff.

A-Mart's video he just posted is so awkward. He was so nervous to tell everyone he was leaving bass. It's like a sad breakup message to his girlfriend.

I think they are announcing the full roster this weekend? I believe today is the final day for anglers that were invited to make their decision. Boyd said they gave everyone 14 days to decide to accept the invite or not.

Mark Rose jumped!! Hot dang.

GMAN jumped!

Seth Feider said he was invited to MLF but is staying in BASS. The Feider/Zona bromance is alive and well

I was out yesterday and caught a few on a swim jig & chatterbait in 8ish feet of water. Only presentation I was getting bit on. The grass on the lake I was on was still green and healthy. It feels like fall above the water, but under the water there still seems to be plenty of healthy vegetation.

Boyd was on Bass Talk Live and said that they will develop a feeder system within the next 3 years, so on the final year of the "invited 80"s contract they will have something in place to replenish the tour. They will have their own feeder tournaments, but not for a few years.

MLF is stacked and they're not even done yet! I'm super excited to see Cody Meyer on the list.

I think Bass already announced they're cutting the Elite field down to 80. But yeah, you're right they're going to have a hard time even feeling that with people who can pay the entry fee within the next couple months.

Be funny if Justin Lucas jumps, after just winning AOY. James Watson said he's going to the BPT.

I'm curious what lead to the repower just a couple years in?
