Super User Senko lover Posted April 17, 2015 Super User Posted April 17, 2015 Bucket A: Ish Monroe This was easy. This guy is killer in California. He knows how to catch em down there and his strenths are punching and frogging. I think he'll whack them. If I change my mind, it'll be for Skeet. Bucket B: Brent Ehrler Again, this is an easy choice. Cali native, fishes there a lot. If I change my mind, it'll be for Chris Lane Bucket C: Alton Jones For some reason, I really struggled on this one. Everybody seems to be picking Hite and Evers, just didn't seem like I wanted to get either of those. This was a definite dark horse and he may be gone tomorrow.If I change my mind, I'll go with the flow and pick Hite Bucket D: Bobby LaneI think he'll do well. He has some strong sibling redemption motives for catching up with Chris . If I change my mind, it'll be for Paul Elias. Just another dark horse I think will do well. Bucket E: Jared Litner No-brainer again. He's a native and loves do the Cali stuff, froggin' and all that. If I change my mind, it'll be for Brandon Palaniuk. He's bound to do well before too long. Your choices? Quote
Super User Senko lover Posted April 19, 2015 Author Super User Posted April 19, 2015 Yep him and Lane will probably both do well. Quote
MSWV Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 I may flop totally as several of these are just "gut feelings".... haha Bucket A: Dean "The Machine" Rojas Dean will school Ish with the frog in this event!! haha Hes going for AOTY! Bucket B: Chad Morganthaler Morganthaler is on a roll! Hes been finishing well and won the southern Opens a few weeks ago on Toho.. The Delta may be completely different but there is an old song I like that says, "When youre Hot your Hot and when youre NOt your Not".. Bucket C: Brett Hite Hite is the most picked angler in the Bucket and I too picked him.. Hes fishing with a lot of confidence and the Chatterbait will once again catch em! Bucket D: Brent Chapman This is a gut pick.. Ive been burnt more time than once by picking Chapman but Im feeling he will do well this time, besides, I really didnt like another pick in Bucket D.. Bucket E: Paul Mueller Another Gut pick... Now is the time Paul!! Come out and be the contender I think you will be!!! haha Quote
Super User gulfcaptain Posted April 19, 2015 Super User Posted April 19, 2015 : Hackney The delta's heavy cover sets up well for his style of fishing : Iaconelli Good tidal water fisherman : Velvick Great competitor in CA waters. :B Hite But I don't belong to a Fantasy Fishing group, those are my top picks and expect all to be in the top 10. Stated above. : Monroe Good in the delta as well, as long as he doesn't loose his cool and get off track. Those would be my pics. Quote

That's the way dark horse picks usually go. 1 Quote
danno054 Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 I tried to get a solid mix of river rats and Cali Boys. My biggest problem was deciding which California boys to pick. A. Skeet Reese B. Hackney C. Byron Valvick D. Stephen Browning E. Jared Lintner Hackney and Browning have a great history here for being southern anglers. But both have blown leads in the delta. Skeet said the place where Hack found them last time is probably dry, so we'll see if he can find the winning fish. Wish I'd of picked Lucus, Rook, or Ish. Lucus grew up on the delta, it's just really hard to pick Reese. Quote
rowyourboat Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 A. Reese B. Ehler C. Hite D. Browning E. Litner Quote
Super User Senko lover Posted April 24, 2015 Author Super User Posted April 24, 2015 Well, I did some hard thinking and changed up my roster, surprising myself. This fantasy event is dominated by certain anglers for their bucket, Dean, Skeet, Ish, and Ike for A, Lane, Hackney, Ehrler for B, Hite and Velvick for C, Lane and Defoe for D, and Litner, Ashley, and Palaniuk for E. If those guys do well, everybody will have picked them. It's gonna take some dark horses to place me well. So, here's my new roster. A: Justin LucasUsed to live in California. Only 2.8 percent picked him so far. B. Bernie SchultzFlorida guys will do well this time. Considering that only 0.1 percent picked him, if that proves to be true then he will be worth some valuable points to me.C. Kelly JordanJordan did well on Guntersville and I think he will do well again here. Only 1.9 percent have picked him. D. Bobby Lane Didn't change him out. Feel like he'll do well. E. Jared Litner Really the only logical choice to me, so I didn't mess with this roster. 1 Quote
MSWV Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 Senko, I went back and watched the event from 2010 and Im having 2nd thoughts on my picks for this tournament.. Ive already exchanged Morganthaler for Chris Lane.. Quote
Super User Senko lover Posted April 24, 2015 Author Super User Posted April 24, 2015 Where did you find the footage? Quote
MSWV Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 Bassmaster.com.. You can go to the bottom of the page under "Video", and select "Elite Shows". Quote
Super User Montanaro Posted April 26, 2015 Super User Posted April 26, 2015 A. Zaldain: consistent angler who is due a win. Knows the delta and is low ownership. B. Powroznik: Won two events last year and has low ownership. Also has a lot of tidal experience. C. Hite in bucket c? Score. Take the points as any deal you get likely wont bring in enough points to separate from what Hite will do D. Browning. Experience and high finishes on delta. E. Lindtner: Can't get all low ownership picks. Need to pick a safe angler or two. Quote
Super User Senko lover Posted April 29, 2015 Author Super User Posted April 29, 2015 This proved to be a very indecisive tournament for me. I did some research on the Duel in the Delta in 2010, and changed up my roster for the last time. (I promise!) A: John CrewsB: Bernie SchultzC: Davy Hite D: Bobby LaneE: Jared Litner Now, you're asking, why the other Hite? Well, he finished second on one of the Delta events in 2010. And John Crews won the whole thing, yet very few people have picked him. Quote
RSM789 Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Well, we have 2 choices the same: A: Crews B: Hackney C: B. Hite D: Niggemeyer E: Litner Good luck, I hope at least one of us moves into the top 100 by the end of the event. Quote
MSWV Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 I locked in with: A: Rojas B: C. Lane C: B. Hite D: "Big Show" Scroggins E: Mueller Good Luck guys!! Quote
EmersonFish Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Normally I'd try to go for a couple wild cards to make it more interesting, but for some reason, this tournament has "chalk" written all over it, and I just went with the flow. A: Reese B: Ehrler C: B. Hite D: Browning E: Lintner Quote
MSWV Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 So far my team is stinking it up!! Chris Lane is my only bright spot.. Dean "not a machine today" Rojas is in 91st!! Quote
Super User Senko lover Posted May 1, 2015 Author Super User Posted May 1, 2015 CONGRATS to Chris Zaldain on a 30-pound bag and a 12 pound gggiant bass! Quote
Super User Senko lover Posted May 1, 2015 Author Super User Posted May 1, 2015 Bobby Lane and Bernie Schultz are in the top 11. The rest of mine aren't doing that hot. Glad to see KVD return to his usual spot in the top 10! Quote
Super User Montanaro Posted May 1, 2015 Super User Posted May 1, 2015 Zaldain is killing it for me. Powroznik is set to make cut and he's always capable of a large bag. BHite, Stephen Browning and Lintner are also capable of huge bags to make cut. I don't anticipate browning making it though despite 2 top 10 finishes at the delta. Quote
Super User Senko lover Posted May 4, 2015 Author Super User Posted May 4, 2015 Well, my dark horses saved my butt from a kicking this time. Bernie Schultz in particular, because he did quite well. Quite a few people picked Bobby Lane and that proved to be a great choice for everybody, including myself. I really regret not sticking with JLu, because I think he had even lower ownership than Crews, not a lot of people picked him. Ended up in 99.3%. Now, on to Havasu............ Quote
MSWV Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 Dean Rojas climbed back to the top and kept me from finishing awful! Good job Guys! Im now ranked 2401st and 91.8%.. Quote
Super User Montanaro Posted May 4, 2015 Super User Posted May 4, 2015 I'm in 90%. Last year was in 98% half of year then collapsed. Zaldain had crazy bonus points and Powroznik salvaged a lot of points. Had Lindtner and Bhite made at least top 50 (25 was expected of these two) I would be sitting pretty. Quote
Super User buzzed bait Posted May 4, 2015 Super User Posted May 4, 2015 I tore it up this time guys!! My best fantasy fishing week ever i'm sure. I had: A: Dean Rojas B. Chris Lane C. Ken Iyobe D. Bobby Lane E. Brandon Palaniuk Quote
