I didn't realize they were fishing 2 rounds, GO ANDY MONTGOMERY!!!! On 1/29/2019 at 2:44 PM, Hawkeye21 said: He's going to need a huge day 2 to make the cut. Look who is 10oz away from moving into the 20th position. Edit* Score tracker update, Andy Montgomery just caught a 4lb 13oz bass and that moves him into 17th position. 1 Quote

The camera coverage was quite good and their commentary team isn't bad. JT Kenney is really cut out for color commentary and I was digging his vibe. I think him retiring and moving into the media side of things was a very good move. It was funny hearing him stumble on his words a bit, you could tell he was nervous. He just committed though and plowed through his thoughts I think with them only having to cover 40 BIG NAME anglers, it makes their life a lot easier because they can send their camera boats anywhere they need. The only knock I have on them is how often my feed just "froze" on my phone. I would be watching, then it would freez up, and I would have to refresh the page and watch the Lowrance HDS Live commercial for the 400th time. I think I'm going to have dreams about it. I'm sure they will get this tweaked. I really wish they would live-stream on Youtube because then it's super easy to watch the live feed on any smart TV. Bass and BPT need to take a page from FLW on this one. For being their FIRST event, the BPT seems to have their stuff together. I was expecting a trainwreck, but it's pretty well put together. I like that they wern't trying to over-produce it with tons of graphics, cutaways, or hand-feeding information to people. They just went to the anglers and let the fishing take center stage. All my buddies said the stream was glitchy also Quote
punch Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 The stream has been working MUCH better today. I've had it going for a few hours now without a refresh. 1 Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted January 31, 2019 Super User Posted January 31, 2019 Average fish 1-2 lbs. Seems just about right. BTW - I've never seem Ish Monroe so animated & demonstrative - ever. I like it. A-Jay 1 Quote

Super User A-Jay Posted January 31, 2019 Super User Posted January 31, 2019 Browning hoping for a little last minute magic in that Chatter Bait. A-Jay Quote

Hawkeye21 Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 Those last few minutes were intense. That was awesome. Just think, we get to see it happen for three more days! Quote

Super User jbsoonerfan Posted January 31, 2019 Super User Posted January 31, 2019 I think the Pros who made the switch will be happy with how well these first few days have gone. Quote
Global Moderator 12poundbass Posted January 31, 2019 Author Global Moderator Posted January 31, 2019 I spent almost 4 hours at the Chevy dealership waiting for my work truck to get fixed. Usually I'd be annoyed at the wait but hey, I was getting paid and I used their WiFi and switched between Zona and BPT. They got the truck done shortly after one so I'm in the dark now. It was good to see Ish so relaxed and animated. He really is having a good time. Quote
Super User Jrob78 Posted January 31, 2019 Super User Posted January 31, 2019 That was awesome! You just knew somebody was going to catch one at the last minute to move up, no surprise it was Jordan Lee, that dude is something else. Quote
GReb Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 I haven’t been able to watch. What’s the #1 bait so far? Chatterbait? Jerkbait? Quote

Ish was punching weeds most of the time. Howell caught most of his on a jerkbait the first day but he struggled some today. Saw a decent amount using a chatterbait. Saw some lipless crankbaits. 1 Quote
OCdockskipper Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 I was wrong about no written coverage, there were a couple of good articles in the results section. Us old people are happy!! If they have bad officiating during a tournament near New Orleans, will there be a lawsuit to vacate the results of the tournament? ? Quote

Jerkbait has been king, but Ish was wreckin' them flipping a craw w/ a big weight. Lipless seemed to do really well for a bunch of guys today also. 1 Quote

Lipless seemed to do really well for a bunch of guys today also. I'm going out this weekend. Water temp is 52, I will be working a jerkbait and lipless on points and channels. Gonna have some bottom contact baits for shallow grass. May not work here, but I learned a lot watching them. Sometimes it just depends on location. Quote
