Let's Talk Fantasy Lineup For Lake Guntersville

[Senko lover]

The Bassmaster Elite series tournament for Lake Guntersville is coming up. I've gone through my starting lineup.

 

• Bucket A: Justin Lucas
  I really feel like Justin has a good chance on Guntersville. Not because he lives there. Chris Lane pointed out that the guys who live there have no experience fishing it in the Spring because they are away fishing elsewhere. He's been pretty strong so far and I just feel like he's going to be someone to look out for.
  If I change my choice, it'll probably be for AMart. He is always one of the most consistent and he can do it all. If the tournament will be won on cranking like the Classic last year, he loves to crank. He's also great at fishing grass if the fish are in the salad.
• Bucket B: Mike Iaconelli
  Ike didn't do well at the Classic last year but I have a feeling he'll do very well here this year. He is for the most part a winner, giving everything he's got for the top seat. It's very rarely a wrong choice to go with Ike.
  If I change my choice, it'll be for GMan. Simply because he's Gerald Swindle.
• Bucket C: Jacob Powroznik
  Jacob proved himself to be on fire last year, and hasn't slowed down considerably this year, doing very well at the classic. Sabine was a disappointment for him, but I think that just gives him a better chance at pushing himself this tournament.
  If I change my choice, it'll be for Randall Tharp. He has a lot of local experience and he finished 5th at the classic last year. I went for him at Sabine, and he failed the tourney, but I think he's going to make a charge at this next one.
• Bucket D: Jason Christie
  I have a lot of respect for Christie. He's a great angler, and after a very slow start at the Classic and the Sabine, he really needs a good tournament.
  If I change my choice, it'll be for Skeet Reese. He will probably do well.
• Bucket E: Edwin Evers
  Edwin is a no-brainer for the E bucket. He is a solid angler. Like some of the others, he has had a very, very, disappointing start. It's time to set himself out from the crowd. I'll pretty confident he won't be in bucket E after this tournament.
  If I change my choice, it'll be for Bobby Lane. Just another one of those who is not a Bucket E Angler.

Who are you going with?

[Ozark_Basser]

I have the same except for bucket A and D. For bucket A, I chose Hackney. For D I chose Ehrler. On a lake like Guntersville, it's anyone's game though. Its hard to really pick and chose who will be in the top 5. I wanted to go for Christie in D, but I figured I'd give Ehrler another chance. He's bound to do well before too long.

[Senko lover]

Yup, I find it all too easy to overthink and overguess. I flopped the Sabine river. But hey! That's the fun of fantasy fishing!

[MSWV]

I flopped on the Sabine also..  I think it was my worst performance ever..haha  

 

I think this one could be the toughest event to predict..  Its going to be a slamfest and anyone is capable of winning but Im going to lean toward the power fishermen..  I havent picked KVD in a long time but this event could be perfect for him..  He fishes fast and could do well just because he gets in more casts than most guys..  I am also thinking Randall Tharp may want revenge after how things went down at the 2014 classic on Guntersville, therefore watch out for him..  

[jhoffman]

Flippers will win this one

[fishinphilly]

i have arron martens, randy howell, randall tharp, jason christie, and bobby lane

 

my second choices were justin lucas, tommy biffle, keith combs, brent ehler (but he hurt me a lot on the sabine), and edwin evers

[fishinphilly]

i didn't know I'm usually of my phone picking my buckets and i just went on on my laptop and had no idea that almost every person i have has the highest % in their group lol on my phone it doesn't tell me the % of people that have each person

[jhoffman]

Biffle is a wild card he could win anywhere

[ColdSVT]

Id have Mark Davis, Chris lane, howell, tharp, and not sure on my fifth lo

But alas i cant chris lane and mark davis since they are in the same pool! Aarg lol

[EmersonFish]

I've got: A - Hackney, B - Swindle, C - Combs, D - Ehrler, E - Kennedy

[ColdSVT]

I have Mark davis, howell, tharp, t.o, and bobby lane

[MSWV]

I went with:

 

Rojas

Ike

Tharp

Ehler

Evers

[buzzed bait]

Greg Hackney

Derek Remitz

Ott Defoe

Kelly Jordon

Paul Mueller

 

hoping for a much better result than i had on sabine, that was a flop and half for me.

[Senko lover]

Yeah I think the Sabine hurt almost everybody! I changed up and went with Skeet Reese in Bucket D for Guntersville. Sort of a spur-of-the-moment thing and he may be gone tomorrow.

[MSWV]

I saw a video Skeets twitter or facebook last night where he stated that he was struggling..  He may be sandbagging but he didnt sound like it..haha  

[Senko lover]

Really interesting results so far today.

Kudos to anyone who picked Brent Ehrler, he is 2nd right now. Glad Ike is on my team, cause he's 6th.

My guys are doing okay. It's amazing how many people have solid limits. It's going to take more than a 5-fish limit to win this thing!

Look at the bottom, though. Randall Tharp, 97th, Stephen Kennedy, rock bottom at 104th, Mike McClelland at 103rd. A lot of people picked them.

Surprises always happen.

[Fishing Cowgirl]

I flopped on Sabine too. Worst I'd ever done. I have Martens, Howell, Defoe, Christie, and Evers. 

[MSWV]

My lineup isnt doing too bad except Tharp....  Look out for these guys that are fishing off shore!  Bad weather is coming and they will continue to catch em..  I have Dean Rojas and hes had a good day but is fishing shallow. I look for him to struggle tomorrow..

[buzzed bait]

everybody i have is middle of the pack except for kelly jordon who was 2nd after day 1!!

[Senko lover]

Shamless, I know. I looked at BassTrakk and Bassresource during my school morning. But I had to, I mean, c'mon! What's the reproductive and digestive systems in an earthworm and the childhood of Charles Dickens when Mike Iaconelli is pounding them on Guntersville?

Couldn't believe my eyes. FOUR of my guys; Ike, Edwin, JLu, and Skeet are in the top 7. That's pretty amazing. Christie isn't doing so well, but better than last. KVD has climbed, as well.

 

Before you diss me, I know half of you are looking at this comment at work  . And bye, I'm back to school.

[MSWV]

No dissing by me Senko! Btw, nice job with the Fantasy Lineup!!

 

I had 1048pts after yesterday and I think it will improve..  Evers finished the day in 50th and I look for him to climb..  Tharp couldnt drop any lower...  I think Ike will finish top 3..  Dean Rojas and Ehrler will hold well..

[ColdSVT]

my guys arent doing too well lol

[RSM789]

Yeah I think the Sabine hurt almost everybody! I changed up and went with Skeet Reese in Bucket D for Guntersville. Sort of a spur-of-the-moment thing and he may be gone tomorrow.

 

Reese is in Bucket C, I know because I have him.  My picks are:

 

A - Jordan Lee

B - Derek Remnitz

C - Skeet Reese

D - Brent Ehrler

E - Boom Boom Roumbanis

 

With my E pick, I believe I am mathematically eliminated from winning the this event.  For my overall points, it will help if Jordan Lee once again comes through with a big day 3, Remnitz can pass Ike and Ehler stay ahead of B. Hite.  

 

I am stoked that right now I am in 208th for the season, which is in the 99th percentile.  That means there must be over 20,000 entries, although I bet a couple thousand have already been forgotten about by their owners

[RSM789]

i have arron martens, randy howell, randall tharp, jason christie, and bobby lane...

 

 

Prior to the tournament, that lineup looked impressive.

 

After day 2, it was ouch, darn, I don't understand? and 2 good performances.  I messed up, I had Bobby Lane in Bucket E, but then made a gut decision to change & go for a dark horse in Roumbanis...

[Covurt]

This is my first time doing the fantasy fishing thing. Pretty fun so far. Can only go with what I know from watching MLF, Bassmaster, and FLW tournaments last 2 years. I believe KVD and Chris are going to drop me down out of the winnings for this tournament.

 

Iconelli

Ehrler

KVD

Bobby Lane

Chris Lane
