I know it sounds like a conspiracy theory, but it reminds me of some of the hacks people found (or were given) in online poker when the first few sites were operating a decade plus ago.

I hadn't thought of that, so I just spent 15 minutes looking at events 2 thru 5 to see if there were any other oddities.

 

Event #2 (The Classic) - Trista511 didn't play the 1st event, then tied for the most points in the 2nd.  She lost the tiebreaker by 8 oz.  She has played in events 3-6, but has never scored more than 1035 pts for any other event.

 

Event #3 (Eufaula) - 15th place went to Scott4444, who hadn't participated in events 1 & 2 and didn't participate in events 4-6.  I know he only won a hat, a shirt & some lures, but it was worth $50.  Odd that he only played once.

 

Also in event 3, the winner (Stratos1223) and 6th place (Troy15) stopped playing after getting those prizes.  I would think winning would motivate one to continue.  Also for Stratos 1223, for event 2, he only chose 2 anglers instead of the full lineup.  Amazing going from not being able to fill out the lineup correctly to picking the winners the following event.

 

Event #4 (St. Lawrence) - No anomalies, but this one would have been difficult to game because so many favorite anglers did well, meaning many legitimate players scored high.  For example, in our group, we had 4 players score in the 1440's and another 2 top 1400, yet none won a prize because 20th place was a whopping 1464.  To compare, in this past event, 1st place was 1342 and 20th prize was 1278.  There wasn't much room to skirt the system because of how well so many people did.

 

Event #5 (Champlain) - The 4th place finisher (fishfreak111) and the 19th place finisher (kiinyon) were both playing in their first event and won prizes.  Both of these also played event six and finished with under 1100 points.

 

I don't know, maybe I am seeing something that isn't there and some folks are having wonderful beginners luck.  I just want to see as many Bassresource members as possible win prizes.

 

 

BTW, they corrected the entry form, it is now for Guntersville.

Friendly bump. 

 

20 days until Gville.

Get your picks in!!

Thanks for posting this!

I guess it's a sign that I'm too much of a hermit. I never knew this fantasy fishing thing existed.

Sounds pretty fun!

How many events are left this year? Is it to late to sign up?

Heck, I don't even know who the BASS pro's are anymore. Maybe next year.

There are 4 events left and you can sign up now for this next tourney . They give away prizes for each event . Just go to Bassmaster.com and find the fantasy fishing part .

I have something to research now!

 

I'm gonna need to, cause I don't know squat, if anything, about the current generation of Pro's.

Last time I was into BASS I'd wake up, race to the turn on TNN and watch Larry Nixon kill the competition tossing a worm (again!) or Guido Hibdon would be spanking everyone pitching a tube under docks. 

 

Thanks again!

I missed that. Only saw the first few minutes of the weigh in but thats incredible!

 

[fishballer06]

My B, C, and D bucket guys caught a total of 8 fish yesterday...


My D bucket pick was Gerald Swindle, who lives on this lake...

[scaleface]

I picked Lester in B . On   another site web-site , he list Guntersville as his favorite lake .

[MIbassyaker]

Looking ok for me so far. Kennedy, Weidler and even Swindle, by the skin of his teeth, made it into the top 40. Hopefully Kennedy can jump into the top 10 tomorrow. 

[FishinBuck07]

Four of my five fishing tomorrow!  The one I expected to be in there isn't and the one I didn't think would be is!  Swindle storming back in and I think John Cox stayed home today.  Lol

[fishballer06]

Well, GVille was a bust for me. In fact, my past two tournaments have been a bust and I've slipped a good bit. 

Don't rest though, Santee Cooper starts Thursday. So get your picks in!

[scaleface]

Got em in .

[Finessegenics]

I'm 37th in our group and participated for every event. There are only a handful of players below me who also participated in every event. It's been pretty crummy for me. So I went with a few anglers who have low ownership % for this tournament so if I do move up, it should be a big move. My predicted winning weight is 70lbs 5 oz.
