Team bombed it Tharp, Wheeler and lefeber all tanked. Rolled the dice on shin figured he might do ok since flw had been there and rolled with Rojas. Think next elite full field might roll with all west coast anglers

Rojas was saying he's back and feeling great after surgery for a wrist that was hampering him most of last year...I got Dean "The machine" on my radar going forward, for sure.

I thought he lost it on a snag .

He reeled in a bass with his lost crankbait in its mouth!  Might have been one of those occasions where the bass hits, gets wrapped around a tree, and breaks off.

I ended at 901 points. 48% overall, and ranked 56th in BR league. A worse start than last year.

 

It's all good, though....the view from my my office window, Friday:

Had no luck. Only guy who made it to last day was J. Lucas. 58th out of 85 ain't good. Did worst over at TW. 

You can join as many groups as you want under the same account/team. Unless you just like playing more than one team, which is cool too.

My picks for the classic are in .

[Vinjints]

That was a lot more fun than I expected.  Refreshed throughout the work days on Thursday on Friday.  Checked once or twice over the weekend.  Good first timer results on my end.

I reluctantly got in last year thinking it silly  , then enjoyed the heck out of it .The live broadcast is great , especially if one of my anglers is in it .  

 

I think Bass could do better with the announcers . They need a good play by play man and less color commentators .

[BassNJake]

I made the top 10 so I'm happy.

Glad to be part of the Bass Resource team as it's fun to take a look at who picked who and where they finished.

 

I needed Ott Defoe to have 2 more ounces so he could make the final day.

Pretty sure he's more upset by that than me though.

Thats why I picked him in the classic . He owes BassNJake  two ounces .

[Hawkeye21]

Yuck.  I finished 70th in our group.  Terrible start but still better than last year since I think I forgot to pick a team the first tourney.

[Mr. Aquarium]

i tanked!!

Part of me wants to pick conservatively for the Classic to help me climb out of this hole a little bit. But honestly, that's really boring. I'm finding some cool stuff and I think I'll have a fairly unique roster. I don't fish to make cuts and I'm not starting now. Go big or go home 

 

however, I will regret not picking Casey. I had him for the last classic on hartwell, which I believe was my first fantasy event and he obviously won the whole thing.

I almost picked the Missouri/Ozark  guy but at the same time I didnt want to pick a guy  who is " just happy to be here. "  I hope he does well for you .  

[shovelmouth83]

i grew up with ryan and he has fished tournaments since 12. 

him and Dustin Lippe are killer together  but if you put them in separate boats it is a small town race to win.

[MIbassyaker]

On first pass, just eyeballing the choices (will probably change before the event):

A: Martens

B: DeFoe

C: Elam

D: Clausen

E: Hartman

 

"Time remaining: 31 days"

 

Ugh.

 

 

 

 

[Gundog]

While I was looking at The Classic field I noticed one particular angler. Stanley Sypeck Jr. is from Sugarloaf, PA. Not too far from me. He qualified by winning a Northern Open on Onieda. Cool to have someone local in the big show. Hope he does well. 

[Rusty Shackleford]

I’m cecole... dang, so close to winning it all!!! 

[Fish the Mitt]

83 of 83! @Senko lover is beating one person at least..

(all in good fun, my man!)

Finally he reveals himself.... Dale Gribble himself! Lol

[IndianaFinesse]

Dang man, that was some impressive suck. Shocked Jacob wasn't up there in the standings, unless spots were different enough from what he's used to. Maybe this time I'll remember to go back and actually do some research after my gut picks lol.

Yeah, the closest one to us is in this huge mall, sandwiched between a Sambo's restaurant and a Fotomat.  It sits across the street from the Builders Emporium.

We had one somewhat nearby about 10+ years ago... I actually got my first ever stereo from there in the late 90's, but it has since closed, and I became a Best Buy before closing again. Not sure what it is now, or if there are any more around here. I'd have to google lol.
