Well Bassmaster asked for top 3 picks, but they didn't publish it on their site for some reason. So here's what I sent them:
1. Cliff Pace -- The Delta is huge, and this tournament is going to be won
on a spot, not a pattern. So experience on this body of water is a
competitive advantage. Nobody in this field knows the Delta better than
Pace. He's going to be tough to beat.
2. Gary Klein -- He's done well here in the past. The Delta seems to
cater to his strengths. Besides, he's LONG overdue! The odds are in his
favor.
3. Bobby Lane -- The average depth of the Delta is 4 feet deep, which is
exactly the type of water Bobby is accustomed to, back on his home waters
in Florida. Flipping and pitching are going to be key, and Bobby is an
ace at it. He'll make an average spot produce very well for him. If he
gets on a key spot, he could win it.
