I wouldn't.

Jigs, buzzbaits, and big worms!

Plenty of time to pick your rosters for this one. I think it's gonna prove to be a really cool tournament. From what I've seen about Kentucky Lake, cranking is king on it, so I'm looking for solid crankers who don't have everybody and their brother picking them. Here's mine: Bucket A: Keith Combs I wasn't the only one who wanted KVD, so I decided to go with Keith Combs, who is a fabulous cranker as well. Unfortunately, 7.2% have picked him already, but compared to the 42.1& that picked Kevin, I'm content. I really like Ike as well, and I think Ike's gonna get back at it after not making the 50 cut at Havasu. If I change my mind, it'll definintely be for Ike. Bucket B: Mark Davis Mark is a solid angler, and more importantly, an experienced cranker. Only 2.3% have picked him, so I consider him a steal in this bucket. Bucket C: Brian Snowden Lot of variety in this bucket. I seriously considered Brian Snowden and Hank Cherry and finally decided on Brian. A dark horse but I think he'll do well. Bucket D: Kurt Dove I'll take all the dark horses I can get, and Dove has 0 ownership right now. I think this lake will set up well for the texas people, and I'm confident he can catch them. Bucket E: Kevin Hawk Nobody really stood out to me in this bucket, so I went with Kevin Hawk for no real reason. Good luck guys! Hopefully that 2000 dollar giftcard will be mailed out to one of us after this!!

Did you catch that on Havasu?

I went with dark horses: Ike, David Walker, Alton Jones, Stephen Browning, and JVD. They really helped pointwise because not a lot of people picked them. Because of that, I actually increase in rating but I'm 345th on the leaderboard. I got up to 99.0 percentile yesterday but dropped a little to end up sitting in 98.9th percent, which is better than where I was before Havasu. This is my first year fantasy fishing, and I'm loving it. I have had so much fun deciding who to pick.

Nice fish, but those combos.......

Today I was fishing with a texas-rigged homeade worm that's identical to the Grandebass Rattlesnake in a larger size. I had it on a 3/0 hook and a 1/4 oz. weight.. Well I nicked a branch behind me and about 3/4 of my worm flew off. I had a stub left that was just about a little longer than the hook. Well, I took a look at it and thought, "man, that looks like a ned rig. Let's try it" Threw it out and caught a fish first cast, followed by about 4 more in the next 30 minutes. Abosolutely bar none the stupidest looking thing I've ever fished, but man I'm gonna keep fishing it!

Dude I can't tell you how nervous I was. He sat in twelth place for like 12 anglers after him. Really thought he'd get knocked off. Watching the weighin right now and as much as I've loved to see Pirch fish this week (ton of confidence), I'm rooting for AMart. He is a phenomenal angler and he must be so frustrated with his seconds.

I love Super Flukes, glad you got some confidence in them. Nice fish!

Once you get the ice off, I really *** you smallmouth anglers.........

Nice job, dude!

Most natural ponds have fish in them. I'd test it out with some nightcrawlers, always a good way to test for fish.

JVD made it!

Weightless and split-shotted soft plastics are always killer for me. Topwater is a lot of fun as well in the heat.

Well, my friend, you're in luck. This is the #1 place you could be!

Yippee! Stephen Browning and JVD are in 5th and 7th, respectively according to BASSTrakk. Both of those are dark horses and they are going to get me some amazing points if they can squeeze out a top twelve. JVD made an amazing rally in particular. I figured it was worth the chance to pick him over Brandon and it paid off!

Fishing is awesome. Even though I lose baits and break off giant fish and run into snakes, it's totally worth it. Not complainin'!

Nice job! Don't feel bad about keeping fish. One of the ponds I could fish could really use that and I may have to do it at some point. It's a private pond, I'm about the only one who fishes it (with occasional visitors), and the owners don't care about it because they're busy keeping up with funerals (it's a cemetery pond). The only thing they use it for is looks. Because of that, it has a ton of small bass and about 4-5 big (4+) fish.

Nice job! Love me a good popper bite......

Nice job and vid my friend!

You beat me to it Nice fish, dude. Congrats on the pb and you'll break the 5+ soon.

Wow, I love the variety of advice. Keep up the good work, guys!

Pretty happy with the day's results. None of my guys are in the top 15 or so, but 4 of them made it to the cut tomorrow. I have decent hope for David Walker and Alton Jones to make it to the top 12. My picks were all mostly dark horses, with the exception of Ike, although he wasn't picked a lot, so because they mostly made it to the top 50, that's good points. JVD made a huge rally and got in last place for tomorrow. Unfortunately, Ike missed the cut by two positions. Really disappointed in him, as I'm sure he is in himself. But with dark horse picks, getting 4 into the top 50 is not bad. Because of that, I advanced to 98.6 for today. Good luck for the rest of the weekend guys!
