What Happened at the LAST Tournament on Lake Murray on NPFL

[@slayerstacker2074]

James Watson looks like he is having a blast out there. I'm happy he is happy. He deserves it.

[@GetUrFishOn]

James will be out there next year and I'm sure he will enjoy it. Cheers and thanks for the comment.

[@mitchpare6639]

I believe this is a much better video than your last few. I left a negative comment on your last Millikan video. In return I would like to show praise on this one for having a much better feel. You touched on a little drama, but you also talked about the tournament itself, the organization, and your thoughts on a bright future for the league with its new rules. Bravo sir. Keep up the good work.

[@GetUrFishOn]

Thanks. I try my best, but not all stories are going to be good or bad. The Milliken one is still ongoing and I could have done something else, but I'm doing my best not too. This one, there's a lot more to the story, but I can't always share the things I know. Good comment or constructive criticism, I appreciate the feedback. Cheers Mitch!!

[@F.Ronnie]

Yes. Watching. Thanks for the video.

[@GetUrFishOn]

Thank you!! Cheers and thanks for the comment.

[@westernmaineoutdoors]

Ill watch as much as I did this year!

[@GetUrFishOn]

Cheers and tight lines!!

[@lroyson]

Trust and loyalty are earned, not threatened. I agree NPFL can become a great league, but Fuller has to lower the intensity a bit. I plan to check them out next year if they can get their platform together and make a good show. I look forward to it.

[@GetUrFishOn]

They will appreciate it. Cheers and thanks for the comment.

[@johnhahn556]

I am excited to watch it!

[@GetUrFishOn]

Me too. Cheers and thanks for the comment.

[@robertmccorkle9656]

I’ll watch it to see just what they deliver. Hope it will be worthwhile.

[@GetUrFishOn]

I hope so too. Cheers and thanks for the comment. Merry Christmas!!

[@brianlee9074]

It was my intention to try and watch more tournaments next year, but the NPFL doesn't seem like one I want to watch as much. While you say we only know one side of the story, I'm not sure how another side would justify Brad's actions. And you have said this isn't the first time? Since the season is over, I guess we will all have to stay tuned.

[@GetUrFishOn]

There is two sides to this..... I wish I could share but can't at this point. Brad does have a hot head at times, but he is passionate and this is his baby. Cheers and thanks for the comment. Merry Christmas!!

[@brianlee9074]

@GetUrFishOn Merry Christmas to you and your family Steve. 🎄🎅

[@brettaylor9098]

I'll watch if I can find any live streaming. Are they planning on doing any?

[@GetUrFishOn]

They will have a new platform at some point. Cheers and thanks for the comment.

Hello Steve. Kyle's win at the NPFL is another testament to his fishing prowess. He had a less than stealer year at the elites but did make it up at the NPFL's. As far as that other incident goes. I believe the post that started it was just a joke post, and there was an updated video showing the real conditions on the lake. He would have been better to blast him on social media than engage in a physical altercation. But I am not in his shoes. I do like the NPFL, but if anglers have a beef with the organization, they should not fear getting physical attacks against themselves. It is a black eye ( sorry about the pun). Tight lines. Regards, Steven.

[@GetUrFishOn]

I think he took it to personal with the other video and went to far. My opinion is that these days, a lot of anglers feel like they must to this parody/attempt to be funny to get views, and they are not funny and make em look stupid. Having said that, it went way to far. Cheers and thanks for the comment.

[@corymiles248]

Interesting topic. I would be HEAVILY CONCERNED with letting the head of NPFL hold $30,000 worth of my entry fee money not knowing whether he’s going to smoke you off the tour, threaten you with violence, get his wife to threaten violence too, over a tiny little fun video just because he can. No trust. “Military background”?! He would be court marshaled, punished and demoted. As of yet, I haven’t heard of an apology.

[@GetUrFishOn]

I see your side for sure, but we only have one side still. I don't know if we will hear an apology until it is settled in court. Awesome comment. Cheers and tight lines!!

[@duanemansel5704]

Is Brad turning this into another fishing boat docks?

[@GetUrFishOn]

I don't know, but he made another mistake. Cheers and thanks for the comment.

[@duanemansel5704]

@GetUrFishOn You know, someone might start Fishing Big Flats. 😂

[@1829Lola]

Great video. Interesting the last NPFL was dominated by guys fishing FFS and The Minnow baits. Now they will fish without it. . Got to believe you will have lots of content as sponsor contracts expire at the end of the year and anglers are posting updates. Plus the new rosters will be coming out. Have a great holiday season

[@GetUrFishOn]

I think they should see some new sponsors, but they MUST have a better platform to watch or else they will be in trouble. Cheers and happy holidays!!

[@frankgilroy3189]

A couple things, can we agree that Bassmaster is the number one pro league, BPT is the number two pro league and NPFL is the number three pro league? With some of the elite pros going to NPFL, I plan to watch. Regarding the championship with live scope, how does that make sense? The whole season with no live scope and then the championship you’re allowed to use it? That seems a bit ridiculous.

[@GetUrFishOn]

So the championship is from the 2024 season where they had FFS. Cheers and tight lines!!

[@AzAngler77]

Your opinion that the leagues are in order of importance is questionable. Bassmasters can be argued just by using 2024 season as evidence, would suggest they are the biggest laughing stock of the fishing industry. But each “fan” will determine the leagues in order of preference based on their own narrative. In the end, to each their own. But 2024 in all leagues is proof alone. And 2024 Bassmasters was a shit show.

They need to shrink the field and make it to where they have to qualify. They have a lot of dead weight.However the dead weight are paying entry fees.They will have a new streaming platform for next year. PHYX sucked

[@NRP.fishing]

honestly I feel like they need to make the field bigger. if people are willing to be donators then make the field bigger and give us the old flw style tournaments

[@GetUrFishOn]

I agree completely. Cheers and thanks for the comment.

[@joeypanel1493]

I'm looking forward to watching the NPFL . I appreciate the skill it takes to use the FFS , however as a viewer it's boring to watch.

[@GetUrFishOn]

Agreed!! Cheers and tight lines!!

[@leblueoutdoors5945]

I'm going to watch it and see how it goes. The drama is silly and unprofessional especially when it's coming from the head of the organization, but that's not something that will keep me from watching the tournaments.

[@GetUrFishOn]

I'm sure they appreciate that. Cheers and thanks for the comment.

[@BassmasterSteven]

Within the next few years the NPFL will be the top tournament series in my opinion!! They will definitely have the best "real" fisherman!!

[@CAN43715]

With the fiasco that went on at Lake Murray, it will be interesting to see how many sponsors and anglers pull out of this league. Definitely a step in the wrong direction.

[@GetUrFishOn]

I agree. I think this could have an effect with incoming anglers. Guess we will see what the final number is soon hopefully. Cheers and thanks for the comment.

I think it was a genius move by Brad fuller . Got the entire bass world talking about them . Would of been the biggest story if milliken didn't happen. Npfl will not be hurt at all by this in the long run probaly actually got them even more eye balls

The good news is NPFL is getting rid of phyxx tv. They will be doing their own programming so it should be easier to access and watch.

[@jimoconnor8597]

Glad you are doing a recap since the coverage is HORIBBLE from NPFL. Can't see how this trail remains viable as sponsors want something people can actually watch reliably. So what if they have a guy or 2 with deep pockets. No viewers, no trail...

[@nedyarb2000]

The reason “professional “ fisherman pay their own money to enter events is because sponsors do not give money to these organizations.

[@GetUrFishOn]

I agree. They need to make a drastic change. Cheers and thanks for the comment.

[@jimoconnor8597]

@@nedyarb2000 But they pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for ads on the broadcasts. And if the "broadcasts" are so bad, there will be no ads, which = no $$$$$, which = no NPFL.

But why did he run down on those anglers? Can't say he was wrong til we find out why

Defending Brad Fullers action because of his military background and other things does not make it right. Please do not make excuses for someone allegedly breaking the law or allegedly assaulting someone because they support a ban on FF sonar.

Man… why are you being so easy on Brad? You said a WHOLE lot more about milliken in the videos you did about him. What Brad did is UNACCEPTABLE!! I don’t care what his background is. This isn’t the military this is a pro/ semi pro fishing league that is PAY TO PLAY! it’s wrong and unacceptable Steve. Why does Brad get a pass but Ben doesn’t? I just feel that forgetting to buy a license and paying a fine isn’t the same as the president and his wife seeking out an angler bc of a stupid satire video. Just my opinion. You have Brad a lot of slack and no so much for Ben.

[@tonygreen4356]

The problem with both is we don’t know all the truth, we are not in a good spot to judge.

[@GetUrFishOn]

I am not giving Brad a pass, but we only know one side of the story. I said multiple times, it was wrong. It is unacceptable for sure. Ben doesn't get a pass because his license expired August 31st and did a bunch of videos without a license. He has commented about it. Having said that, fighting/arguing isn't acceptable AT ALL.

As long as they ban FF sonar, it will never take off. The anti FF sonar crowd is the minority, and the league shows it by not having many big names fish it. In addition, FF sonar allows for better entertainment rather than everyone fishing the same way by randomly beating the banks.

@AsianAmerican113 from what I've read this is not the first time this has occurred. Sure, everyone makes mistakes. You also own your actions and the repercussions of those actions.
