Can you bring us up to date on Brandon's future?
Jumping to MLF?, Bass?, or staying with FLW?
I see where his roommate, Justin Atkins, is going to MLF.

A lot of them are. I saw where Swindle said he was switching over. Whats Casey gonna do, anyone know?
Senior Member
With the money Duckett said they’re paying I imagine a lot will. Pro fishing is about to change, I think.

I had never heard of any such but read that Johnny Morris was buying up all the talent and leaving BASS in the dust? Cabelas wasn't enough...

That's an impressive list. Not too many big names left if it's accurate. Unless I missed it looks like Jordan Lee is not on the list?

I imagine he would like to try and 3-peat as the classic champion first. Id say 2020 you will see him out there.Originally Posted by DuckorBust
Edit: That is if he doesnt win the Classic again. If he was to, I imagine he will continue to repeat until he doesnt.

Kinda makes you wonder if the Classic champions from here on out will have an asterisk next to their names? I mean with that list of guys out of the running who are you really there to beat?
Living in Moncks Corner but looking forward to moving back to the West Coast in 2020 where there are more ducks and less duck hunters!! LOL
In case you didn't know
Big names for sure. Follow the money I reckon

Being invitation only, you turn it down now, big gamble for your future...
Senior Member
Even if he did, Jordan Lee would not have a problem getting MLF to welcome him back.
Rush Chairman
I am sure you are right and I have never heard of him or it. I just heard it was a Johnny Morris deal and he doesn't like to be told "no"...
Senior Member
I could be wrong and he may have been told that. Only bad thing about Jordan Lee and his brother that i can think of or heard of... is they are Auburn War Plainsmen Eagle Tigers.

Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner.
That's all it's about....and rightfully so.
MLF will make bass fishing much more visible than it currently is.l

Just saw where Jordan is fishing the ‘19 classic.

BASS said qualifiers would be welcome at the Classic.
MLF is on TV 3-4 times a week. BASS and FLW are not.

Catdaddy, Brandon didn’t get an invitation, not sure how they went about choosing. Looks like only about 10 FLW guys got invitations. Kinda surprising, Thrift is #1 ranked fisherman in the world currently and he didn’t get an invitation either. Looks like they are draining BASS. Definitely shaking up professional bass fishing. BASS countered the MLF trail by reducing entry fees for returning pros, but a lot still left to go to MLF. FLW says they are sticking with their business model. Brandon plans to stay there for now, but may fish more of the BASS opens to qualify for the Elites.
One interesting thing just to note, Brandon is in China fishing the China BASS nation event. 35 Chinese teams fishing, Brandon from FLW and Randall Tharpe from BASS and Brandon was in 2nd yesterday. One of his primary sponsors ARK rods is in China and took him over to develop a signature series rod and fish this tournament as a guest. Him and Randall are fishing by themselves against the teams.

I saw that he was in second place on FB. He can catch them anywhere. Hope it works out for him.
