October 26, 2023, Pittsgrove, NJ. The Ike LIVE crew is BACK! Ike, Pete, Brian, Dave, Becky and Paul will be in-studio this Saturday, October 28th at 8pm EST with their always popular Halloween Special. Tune in to see their amazing costumes. Even they’ll be surprised! Plan to laugh, celebrate and then dive into the hot topics of the day in the professional bass fishing world.
Boyd Duckett, MLF President/CEO and Bass Pro Tour Angler will talk about the sweeping changes planned for 2025 that they hope will ‘increase visibility and showcase top performers’. These changes include dropping to an ‘all-star roster’ of ONLY 50 anglers, a move back to the original ‘every fish counts’ scoring format and slashing the depth of payouts back to the top forty anglers.
This announcement has created quite a buzz among the fishing industry and with fans weighing in on both sides on social media. Stephen Browning, a current Bass Pro Tour angler will chime in with his perspective. The Ike LIVE crew appreciates the willingness of both to come on the show and address these concerns. We can’t wait to watch!
Great additions to that line up include Ken Duke and Terry Battisti of Big Bass Podcast and Ben Milliken, YouTube fishing personality and recent Bassmaster Elite Series qualifier.
