I'll be doing this 100% next year, first time I've ever wanted to do a fantasy sport.  

 

I'd get destroyed right now, but by next year I'll know more anglers and their styles.  

Doesn't hurt to sign up and play the remainder of this season. I guarantee you'll follow along more closely and learn a lot just because you have some skin in the game. 

 

With all that being said... Blast off is Thursday for the Sabine River. Get your picks in now!

Have no idea what I'm doing, and as the group picking went along through the groups, the anglers got worse and worse.   Group A was stacked, whereas it's a struggle not to pick a guy like Poche in group E lol.  Maybe that's how it's supposed to be.

 

I picked either the guys I like or the most innovative guys like Cox and Fujita.

They go by angler of the year standings.

I tried last year and couldn’t cipher it either. Had to take both my shoes off, county school product you know…..

I wish Bassmaster had an app.

This is always a tough one to pick. Christie won the last one here with 43 lbs ?

This is shaping up to be my worse event so far . Only two in the top 50 after day one. 765 points

It's not too bad here yet - end of day 1: 2 in top 10, 2 more in top 50.

I'm not doing so well myself either but I aint doing that bad.

[AlabamaSpothunter]

Ole sneaky John Cox just outside the top 10, dude is just a hammer.   

 

Caleb Sumrall moved up to 3rd.

 

Maybe I won't bomb my first picks.  

 

Makes it more fun for sure.

These dink fests are always a crap shoot. 1 pound can move you up 25+ spots.

And I'm out for this round - closest I got was Jacob at 11th

[Finessegenics]

Don’t think anyone could have deserved it more than Brock. He’s been so close so many times, nice to see him win. Also, my good season continues, sitting at 99.5th percentile.

Despite having no one make the top-10 - I stuck it out to have a 94% overall...and moved up to 5th place in the BR group.

 

And now we gotta wait almost 2 months for St. Clair.

 

Maybe I'll bump into Seth or Austin on Tonka between now and then.

[scaleface]

I dropped 11 percentage points this event .

 

 At lake St.Clair I'm going to field a team with no Johnston's or Taku.

The bridesmaid finally got married! I was sick of hearing Mercer say that anyhow

@Finessegenics You are truly in a league of your own this season. Keep it up and make BR proud!

 

As already mentioned, we have something like 51 days until the next event on St. Clair. So I don't want to hear any excuses from anyone that you didn't have time to research your picks. We are 7 events into the season and have 3 left. As of now, here is our current top 10.

Less than 400 points separates 2nd from 10th, so anything is possible by the seasons end.

It  takes me about 1 minute to make picks. I did drop Ike for Palaniuk already. Almost every time I change a pick its for the worse.

[fishballer06]

Hey guys, friendly reminder. 20 days til St. Claire. Make those picks!

Thanks....that means I should end up in front of you instead of behind you.

[fishballer06]
