Fantasy Fishing 2020 - Official Thread

[fishballer06]

The time has come for the 2020 Fantasy Fishing season to begin. For those unfamiliar, we have been doing this for a few years now as a fun way to compete and have a little fun among all our members. Do you think you have what it takes to take home 1st place for the season? 

 

 

Group Name: BassResource

Password: BR2020

 

We encourage all members to play along. Just pick your anglers prior to each BASS Elite event and share them (or don't) with the group. It's all part of the fun!

Is this an ongoing thing where you need to update a lineup, etc?

Each event, you pick 5 guys for your roster. There are 5 buckets of guys to choose from, so you try to pick who you think will do best in that bucket. 

 

So 10 total events between February and August that you'll need to select a roster for. Certainly not as grueling as doing fantasy football or baseball.

I'm in, going to be strong on the Fla boy picks in Event 1

 

Does Clunn have it in him to pull off another one???

[scaleface]

I'm in again and after several minutes of grueling research my team has been selected .

I wont have any more insight then as I do now . If an angler cant make it or is impaired I can still change .

You mean you don't think Feider, Hartman, and Mueller are going to be at the top of the heap?

[NittyGrittyBoy]

Maybe, but I'm watching the weather to see what the bass do. Each of em has their strong points.

 

St.Johns is one of my absolute favorite fisheries. 

[Jrob78]

Awesome, I'm in! Thanks for taking the lead again @fishballer06

[MIbassyaker]

I'm in. 10 members so far.

 

And welcome back Palaniuk and Swindle!

[Abby]

I will try again..Was fun but boy did I suck at my picks..lol

[IndianaFinesse]

Wow, already that time of year again for you lucky southern fishermen, still looking “forward” to it icing up for a bit here ? I’m in though ?

[swhit140]

I've never done this before, so I'll see how terrible I do.?

Did you notice the change in prizes?  Rapala is now involved & has upped the prizes for each event.  1st place per event now totals $4000 ($4500 for BASS members), an increase of $1500.

 

Further, they are now awarding prizes for the top 20 per event, not just first.  2nd thru 5th is cool, $250 worth of Rapala stuff.

 

The yearlong winner has been lowered, it no longer is a boat.  It is a $15,000 BPS card, which could buy a small boat.

That's a pretty sweet prize package if you ask me. Allowing more guys to win prizes is always a plus in my book.

I’ll be in. Wish they had done this last year whe I ended up third in a contest! But sweet I like rapala gear. Good luck this year maybe someone from the group will get the year end!

 I dont know the anglers that well .

[NittyGrittyBoy]

Watch all of last year's tournaments and you'll get a better understanding of different anglers. That's your homework for next week

I'm in. I sucked real bad last year. Very little confidence it'll get better. It's fun though

You only get better with more experience. Even then, it can be a crap shoot. I've been running this league on here for ~4 years now I believe, and I still don't think I've ever finished in the top 5 overall for our group, despite usually finishing in the 90+ percentile on BASS. 

 

I just hope that one day, someone from this site can win a sweet prize package from one of the events.

Thanks for setting us up again @fishballer06, I've joined a number of groups, TW, Spro, AFTCO etc. They all giveaway prizes if you finish in the top 3-10, varies by group. There's no cost to enter and you don't have to make extra picks outside of what you normally do for the BR group.

 

We're all tackle junkies at the end of the day, just thought I would share to add some incentive beyond bragging rights.

 

Got my picks in, but I'll switch them again closer to the event.

 

[NittyGrittyBoy]

@Dangerfield Thanks, didnt know you could join more than 1 Group. ?
