Had my first tournament last weekend on table rock and loved it. My buddy and I placed 13 out of 83 boats, but we’re unlucky because we would have had more weight but 3 fish were a quarter inch short which would have put us in top 5. Other than that I had a good time on a lake I had never fished until then and you, mark and those guys are the reason why I started so thanks.

@eugenewall66204 жыл бұрын
MLF weighs every fish over 2 lbs. They have an official in every boat who weighs all fish and uploads weight. This gives every fisherman in the tournment a real life tracking of where they rank, and how much weight they need to win. It's a catch and release immediately tournment. FLW is run like most other tournments in that it's only 5 fish weighed-in, then the fish are released. I doubt most anglers who left WFL this year will go back. The man who started it died, and the new owners refused to honor previous commitments, one of which was a promised big dollar tournment among the top 10 (I think it was top ten). Hope this helped.
