https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3JceYrL8LgCastledine commenting on the TAA tournament from last week, and says he wishes the BPT and BASS would put on a throwback tournament. I think that would be a lot of fun, like an All-Star kind of event. How would you design it?

Just like the TAA did.
I’m not sure where I stand on the waypoint rules, seems tough to regulate. I also think a day or 2 of practice would make it a more even playing field for everyone.

I would like to see a surprise lake. Kind of like MLF did at first.

make it like the old B.A.S.S. MegaBucks format with a twist, take a lake and break it up into 9 sections and each competitor has a time limit in each section before moving on to the next section, then total the entire day, do this over three days...like golf, anyone can play a good hole, but who can play all the holes well to win in the end, then you will see who is the most versatile... 
Maranatha !

Do it like BASS did the first Classic. Get everyone on a plane and tell them in the air where they are going to fish!

I would like to see a surprise lake. Kind of like MLF did at first. I agree. The original format was pretty good. Suprise lake, no practice, no 100k rigs, etc.. Just a basic graph set up and a short practice time. Thats what normal people have to deal with which is what makes it popular

5 fish
18’ boats with 150’s
No poles
No spot lock
No FFS
No side and down (depth only)
Then I could afford to look like a pro. Haha.
Eat. Sleep. Fish.

Those all sound like fun. I would also like them go to a relatively obscure lake.

You can’t pick and choose which technology you want. It’s old school all the way, any boat, any motor hp. You want a jet drive, go for it.
No graphs with GPS, flasher ONLY.
Spotlock TM cannot be used, no penalty for accidentally hitting the button, but you have 10 seconds to un-spotlock or you get DQ’d.
No shallow water anchors.
No “land jumping”, like Poche did.
5 fish, dead fish 2lb loss.

Not interested in living in the past. Too many miserable old farts already there.
