Let's Talk Fantasy Lineup For Lake Havasu!

[RSM789]

I didn't post my picks here on Thursday because I was in Ish Monroes boat . Marshalling is pretty cool, I'd recommend it. Went out with Dennis Teijei yesterday & Alton Jones today, but that is a post for another day.

My picks are:

A - Pirch

B- Ehler

C- Evers

D- JVD

E- Hawk

3 have made the top 12, Ehler bubbled at 13th and only Hawk bombed out of the cut. Plus I have all 3 daily leader bonus points (Evers, Pirch twice) and Evers might hold on to big bag for another 40 points.

I originally had Tharp & swapped him out for Hawk on the drive to Havasu, it may have cost me the $3000 BPS gift card.

JVD made it!

Haha I saw that was like I bet Kyle is pumped!

Djf6864 and philly what's your score?

There's a lot of dogs still in this hunt. Pirch won't be able to sleep tonight. It will be fun to see this go down to the wire.

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.

Even though I had Pirch in bucket A, I found myself happy that Martens won for the same reasons.  Points wise, he & Pirch both ended up with 305 (Pirch had 5 less regular points, but 5 more bonus points because he led for 2 days to Amarts 1).  What made the difference in choosing either Amart or Pirch was the space between them & Rojas, who was the overwhelming favorite pick in that bucket.

 

JVD's high wire act as he went from 52 to 12 to tied for 8th really helped both of us.  Brett Hite's poor showing dragged alot of people down.

 

As of yesterday, I was in 105th overall & figure to climb about 30 more places based on Murray's slip in Bucket E & the 40 point big bag bonus for Evers (who ended up being the overall point leader with 335 points).  I believe the big bass of the tournament went to Mike Keirnan, who ended up in 50th & didn't have a large percentage of owners.

 

Kyle, if I remember right, you were in the top 200 at the beginning of the week.  Did havasu help, hurt or really make no difference for you?

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. 

[RSM789]

I ended up with 1304 for the tournament, and now am in 80th place overall with 4426.  This was one of the best tournaments I ever had. I hope I can duplicate it a few more times.

 

If David Williams was in bucket C or E, then I picked the top points in 4 of the 5 buckets.  To win this week, I would have needed to pick Omori in bucket E, who I never even considered so I don't feel bad.  I more than made up for that by staying away from Brett Hite in bucket C and having Evers come out strong with the weeks big bag.

 

Good luck with your next round of picks!!

I had a decent week with the group below.  Now i'm 1639th place with 4085 points or 94.6%

 

A Cliff Pirch

B Jeff Kriet

C Micah Frazier

D Josh Bertrand

E Kevin Hawk

As rude as it sounds, the key to having a good week on Havasu was not choosing Brett Hite.  He scored the lowest points in bucket C & over half the players (54%) had him.  If you avoided Hite & just made a couple of decent picks, you most likely moved up, gaining points on those players who did choose him.  

 

Those who choose Evers had a 274 point edge over that 54% in that bucket alone.

I tanked.

Kevin short worked out though

Yeah I wish I had gone with Evers, that would have come in handy.....

[MSWV]

 I feel like I escaped Havasu decently..  Finished with 1083 pts.  Im now at 92.8%..  

 

My best pick was AMart who I predicted to win on my initial post!!     Randall Tharp also came alive!!  Ott Defoe didnt do too bad along with Josh Bertrand.  Tommy Biffle was my lowest finisher but I still like him!!  

[Montanaro]

Went from 90% to 72....
