Seems like a big change that people have been asking for that I really like.  Makes it still a catch lots of fish game but limits it being a dinkfest.  I wonder what limits at other lakes could be since it reads like a lake by lake rule.

This was talked about in another thread - starting at this comment where the rule change link was posted.

 

Seems the fans voices are being heard.

I like it.

That's funny.  The MLF app pushed it to me today like it was a new article.  Did not even look at the date on it.

There is not much doubt, at least for Eufaula, that the 2lb minimum was well received by most viewers. Eufaula seemed to have plenty of fish in the 2 to 3 lb class. Although Florida is known for it's giants, Okeechobee really doesn't have a good population of 2 to 3 pounders ..... lots of fish from 1 to 2lbs, then it goes up to the larger fish. I surely hope we don't have to listen to JT and Marty hashing it out, while waiting for them to go to a "scoreable" fish catch! I would rather watch and listen to the anglers, even if they are not catching them!

It will be interesting to see what happens when they're fishing northern lakes later this year.

It shouldn't be too different from how any other tourney would go up north.  They only get so big and there are not as many, unless they are on a good smallmouth fishery.

And Wheeler still won by a mile.

Geezz! I fast forward as quick as i can ANYTIME i see Martys hands about to start talking. 

I love the 2lb minimum. It’s made it more interesting for me. I’ve spent more time watching MLF live this year already than all of last year combined.
