I really appreciate that after a tournament the pros seem to be quite forthright and seemingly honest when revealing the lures they used during the event.  But... bass fishing is mostly about the location and pattern.  Do they release the exact places the bass were caught?  Place on the water, depth, temperature of the water...?  Or is this still kept as a guarded secret?

Well if you watch MLF live, you can see locations, sometimes hear the water temp, etc.

 

Local tourney guys seem to be a lot more tight lipped than some of the national guys who only fish a lake once a year. 

 

I mean, I don't know if you are going to get them to reveal 'everything' but it seems there is a lot revealed watching the livestream for the MLF tourneys...

Probably at least half of the time.  

Bassmaster Elite releases the fish from their weigh-ins on a daily basis in deep water with a pontoon that is retrofitted with large aerated holding tanks.

Nowadays you can see where they are fishing on live coverage so it’s no mystery

Wrong thread, maybe?
