Where am I fishing in 2024? Tough Decisions.

Good decision, everyone should be getting their eggs out of boyd duckett's basket.

Really used to enjoy using Ducketts line of rods but honestly just can’t support the guy any longer.

I'm so glad that you are coming back to Bassmaster! MLF suppressed the Bass Pros. We haven't been able to see yall Fishing or see videos with yall in it for 5-years! Bassmaster at least Broadcasts the Tournament on the Internet and we get to watch the Pros Fish and they Broadcast the WEIGHT-INS that means alot to me & Im sure many other Bass Fisherman feel the same way! WELCOME BACK! I look forward to being able to see you in Action!

After All of these Welcome Back Comments, TELL ME JORDAN LEE "DO YOU FEEL THE LOVE?"

You said it perfectly to not cause drama. But everyone knows MLF is a slowly sinking ship. Bail now while there is room elsewhere.

Welcome back

[@catfishapperson5250]

Yes yes yes, some of the best news I've heard in bit. I've been with bassmaster the whole way. Welcome back champ. Hopefully more of the greats he'd back home .

Hate to see Larry leave. But I'm so happy for you to get back to the Elites. Congrats Bro.

[@greggnunnelee7650]

Good choice. MLF needs to go back to original FLW.

[@big1bass]

MLF is in trouble. Some of the best advocates for the sport are leaving it.

[@cl2095]

Competition between MLF and BASS is good for everyone. Hopefully both organizations thrive.

[@johnmango6056]

Hahaha RIP MLF

[@awbassfishing3955]

I’m sorry but I don’t believe in that legends exemption I think they should have to go through the opens and qualify there a lot of guys trying to make it and I think that exemption takes away a spot for someone. But I’m glad you’re back.

[@Northern_Bass_Ninja]

Said the same thing and had my post removed. Glad these posts aren't being removed now. He should have to fish the opens to requailfy like everyone else regardless of past accomplishments.

[@jimliechty2983]

The Legend exemption does not take away any spots that the Open anglers are competing for. They are in addition to the regular roster. If similar posts were removed, what you are saying is likely the reason.

[@Northern_Bass_Ninja]

@@jimliechty2983 I understand the legend exemption fully. I said those spots should used for those who qualified and not those who performed in the past. B.A.S.S should chage this and its a cheapened re-entry for pros who left willing and fished a failing trail. At least Ike and Swindle paid 50k out at their own expense before using their exeptions. What other sport does this? Make sense? You get tokens because you won years ago? I mentioned this and most likely his real reason for leaving...sponsors, controversy, and a failing tournament trail. It's thin skinned behavior to criticism of fans who pay attention. Not all of us are blind fanboys. These pros forget their previous interviews, what they say etc, and smell like used cars salesmen...Lee is no exception. Deleting comments and burner accounts are common place in other social media industries but apparently pro fisherman havent figured that part out yet. I don't buy the gee golly gosh I prayed on it and I'm back. Just be honest...MLF isn't what is said it was and I want stability for my brand, sponsors, and family. The rule rewards past success not current. I have zero doubts Jordan would requalify, hes a hammer...but we just saw Bobby Lane fail at it and he didnt have the past skip the opens token. Increases competition and makes a better product with storylines IMHO. We can agree to disagree.

[@lwbuck7948]

Before today I did not follow you on Facebook . I will now that you are fishing B.A.S.S.

[@mikebailey2119]

Jordan, is this change because of the fact that MLF is going to only 50 fisherman in 2025?

[@bobbycolson1957]

Good deal I can't imagine your mom on stage in tears saying Jordan just won the Redcrest....

Just wait because rumor has it there are several who were in the top 25 jumping ship due to going back to every fish counts format, lack of practice days, and the screw job Boyd is trying to do over there. Wait till you see the NPFL and Opens Rosters.
