I think the other difference maker will turn out to be Mueller in bucket D. I believe that BMac31 won the Bass Resource pool, congratulations. I understand Glenn was awarding $1000 Circuit City gift certificates to each event winner... Lmao, I really need a new VCR. Thanks, I've always played fantasy football and baseball. This was my first time trying fishing, and I must say win or lose it was very fun. Looking forward to the next tourney! Brian 3 Quote
OCdockskipper Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 For the entire event, it looks like 4 people tied with the most points & none of them had Tharp. The guy in 5th, just 5 points behind, had Tharp, Mullins, Mueller, Wheeler and .... Ehler. Day One Ehler was 9th & on Day two, he only caught 2 fish & fell all the way to 68th. How in the world does Ehler, one of best on the planet, only catch 2 fish after 17 lbs the day before? 1 more silly little keeper and this player wins it going away. Talk about heartbreaking. The player makes a great call in choosing Tharp and one of his no brainers (Ehler) ends up costing him $3000. Quote
MSWV Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 Im so disappointed in my finish.. I seriously thought the local guys would show during this event.. Brandon Card bombed during this event and I thought for sure he would do well.. One of his fishing buddies was whacking them on the Damiki rig just a few days before.. Oh well, Im in the 68th percentile & hopefully Ill turn it around at the Big O.. Heres my son last week.. We were up river after we couldnt catch them deep..hehe 3 Quote

Moving onto the Big O which will be interesting. Quote
Super User Senko lover Posted February 13, 2017 Super User Posted February 13, 2017 Holy crap!!! Just looked at the rosters for Okeechobee. Had some guys in mind for this one and thought they would be owned at 50-60% but none of them are over 10%!! Can't believe it. The ownership could change obviously but still this should work out for me. Looking forward to this one. Let the research begin! I have a strategy that has done pretty well for me on some specific bodies of water. Also, I don't know how many of you guys used the live chat underneath the live feed but I was very disappointed that BASS did away with it this year. I made a facebook group called "Bassmaster Live Fam" to facilitate discussion if any of ya'll wanted to join. Haven't been able to find a lot of my old Bassmaster live friends on FB but hopefully we can get it off the ground at some point. 3 Quote

Ownership percent will change a lot in my experience, and may be mostly meaningless before the end of this week. Thanks to Cherokee, the guys I really had my eye on for O are now conveniently scattered across the buckets... Quote
Senko Junkie Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 I bombed with only 890 points but feel confident on my Okeechobee picks. But, Holy Cow, Group E is loaded with Florida boys like Shaw Grigsby, but also Skeet Reese and Chris Lane in the group as well. This is a tough group to make a pick. I'm still undecided in Group A but like my choice so far. Good Luck everyone for round two. Here comes my comeback.........lol Quote
MSWV Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 At first glance, Bucket D looks tough.. Every other bucket seems to have good choices, thanks to Cherokee.. Quote
Rpratt Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 I was getting a little giddy after the first few days. I had 4 of the top 10 at one time, and then Ehler's had the bad day. Finished 1277 with 3 in the top 12 (Wheeler, Feider and Palaniuk) Quote

Dang Justin, some people like to talk big after the first event Let's see how it is at the end of the year. Package of Siebert jigs mailed to the winners door? And yeah, I have a message out to bassmaster about the percentages, they were too good to be true. 1 Quote

Ok I'll admit I totally fell for it! I even thanked him and told my wife that not only is there a chance at $3k Bps gift card there's a chance at $1k gift cards from Circuit City. I googled it when I read your post. Good one Guys! ? Quote
