Fantasy Fishing 2024

[gim]

By far my best event this season so far.  All 5 anglers in the top 50, and 2 in the top 10.

I haven't been following this event closely, but I see I have Ike, Arey, & Cobb fishing today. So that's something.

This might be my last time picking Robertson. He seems to have a difficult time putting consecutive good stingers in the boat.

That's solid! A lot of guys seemed to struggle this event.

Tell me about it - Austin missed getting into today by 3 ounces...he was my last hope for this weekend.

One thing can be said about Patrick Walters. The man knows how to finish a tournament.

[Texas Flood]

I got the Walters pick right. Not so hot on the others.

[fishballer06]

Well that was a fun event. Congrats to Patrick on the win. Now we've got 29 days until the next one on Wheeler in Alabama. 

 

Here's our current top 3.

Woof, Alabama in mid June?  Could be toasty.

Heads up everyone - Derek Hudnall just announced that he's retired from professional bass fishing. Derek was sitting 55th in points and I'm sure is on a few fantasy rosters out there.

I actually moved up a few spots after my huge slide from 3rd to 32nd a few weeks ago.

I didn't do so well but I correctly picked the winning weight right to the ounce.  😂
