How To Qualify For Mlf

Spoonplugers comments about how MLF works is correct.  To select the players, they took the top standings of the Elite Series and made the offer.  When one declined they went to the next on the list.

As far as scripting, the producers wanted some conjecture on the lake, the guys said no.  We don't do that in our real life and we are not going to do that in the show.

Everything is honest and equitable.  I have personally watched and assisted in their tournaments.

I think its an acceptable format, just not sure about the successfulness of it.

Not sure how Byron Velvic got invited.  I do know they stayed at his motel/lodge during the first MLF event.  Maybe he worked something out with Duckett.  Not sure.

Bass Pro furnishes the boats including moving them to the next location.  Obviously they only have a couple other sponsors and I am sure they need more.  It is very expensive to pay the lady and gentlemen, plus the film and support crews to film these.  Studio editing on top of that with that many cameras and film shot is challenging as well.

Hats off to Duckett for a great idea and guts enough to try it.  For all those who are involved, I hope it works.  A bunch of great people to be around.
