[Montanaro]

Of course the one time I forget to pick a team, my boy MDJ who I have relied on all season, is leading....when it rains it pours

[shovelmouth83]

i think it is crazy how unreliable the Basstrax is this tourney. i know there is only 50 but i think half of those left...

[MIbassyaker]

Three in the cut, nobody yet cracking the top 20: Ott (47), Connell (32), and Williamson (24).

One who missed the cut by a few ounces: Combs (61)

And (sigh) one bottom-15 bomb: Hawk (92)

 

So: on pace for basically the same outcome I've had in every other event this season, no matter what strategy I use, or whether I use any strategy at all.

 

I thought I had gotten pretty good at this after finishing in a mid-90s percentile overall last year....Lol, nope!

At Sabine I had the first and last place angler . Here I have the last place and as right now the first place . I keep cancelling out my good picks with lousy picks .

[MichaelCopeland]

The only one on my team that has any kind of a chance of winning is Mark Daniels Jr. He's currently the weight leader. Not too worried about the rest of my team. The closest one to first is in 28th place, Dave Lefebre I think is the one that's in that place. Rest of my team consists of Randy Howell, Aaron Martens and David Walker.

Hope nobody had Josh Douglas. Dude tanked his entire FLW season this weekend with a DQ. 

[Troy85]

My Oahe team has crashed and burned....I think I have 796 points. 

[Gundog]

 I had and dropped both Bertrand and Fukae as my picks. Overthought it too much.

Got three fishing this weekend and two in the top twelve going into today.

I'm only on the bassmasters site in several of the groups.

[scaleface]

This is the type of tourney I enjoy . Much more interesting than the slug fest going on right now in the FLW . I'm pulling for Fritz , even though hes not on my team . Hes Carolina rigging and fishing a lipless in deep water , which is my style of fishing .  Too bad hes   out of cel range , I'd like to watch him go at it .

[Montanaro]

I did have Josh Douglas...sigh

 

As for 99%...yes there are weekly prizes.  Go to the group you are in and they will list the prizes available, including the bassmaster overall group.  If you are first you win like a $1,000 gift card. 2nd is like 500.  Others are gifts I believe.

I was Fritz's boat official on Day One at BassFest in May on Lake Travis.  He spent the entire day doing those 2 techniques, he had a creature bait he was dragging around on a Carolina rig in 25 to 35 feet of water and occasionally would throw a big Berkley Warpig at those same fish.  No fishing marinas or areas that had shade, no topwater at any time, no jerkbait, just those two things in that type of depth.  Difference was he finished out of the cut by a decent margin at Travis and he is contending for a title here.

 

In choosing my team this week, I thought this lake may end up fishing similar to Havasu did in 2015 as far as smallmouth goes.  I was kind of right, but goofed up in the angler choices.  I chose Aaron Martens, which was dumb because AMart won on Havasu fishing the reeds for largemouth, which didn't apply here.  I chose JVD who had big days 2 & 3 on Havasu, but it appears he must have just stumbled upon a spot on Havasu based on his horrible performance here.  I had my wife choose John Murray, but Havasu was local knowledge for him, not smallmouth prowess.  I ignored Casey Ashley, Justin Lucas & Dean Rojas, all who had top 12's at Havasu and are doing well here.  Why?  I dunno, I'm an idiot.  I did take Ehler (13th at Havasu) and had my wife take Pirch (2nd at Havasu) & Evers (3rd at Havasu with big bag), all of whom are vying for a top 12 this week.  I don't think it was logical to predict Daniels or Fritz to perform the way they have, so that doesn't bother me.  I think I had the right strategy but I just executed poorly with some bad decisions

 

I do not give enough credit to Ashley, Bertrand or Roy, they are great anglers who often fly under the radar.

You didnt pick JVD to mess it all up ,  did you ?

[Gundog]

[shovelmouth83]

No, Ocamica. The thought crossed my mind to pick him though. Thankfully I didn't.

[shovelmouth83]

i have lucas but i dont see him winning this at all but i think h has maxed out his catch weight. 12 lbs he could catch 6th place but i dont see vary many 3 lbs in this lake.

Glenn always pays out Circuit City gift cards to the top 3 performers in our group at the end of the year.
