scoretracker is showing wheeler caught zero fish without live scope?

pretttty wild.

shows you how much so many anglers seem to be relying on live scope, and two other periods they flat out blank? hmmmmm maybe i'm missing something... 

 

He wasn’t trying to catch any. He didn’t need to. All looking around for those last 2 periods checking previously marked spots and looking at new water. Probably shook some off though with hooks bent down or cut off. Just about guarantee it 😉

Jacob Wall who is currently leading AOY finished dead last in this tournament.   That has to hurt. ☹️

He pulled off his dock stretch and let MDJ have it in final minutes. They were heading towards each other fishing each dock. MDJ caught a 4 pounder to get in knockout.

Wheeler mentioned having done something similar the last time he fished Lake Murray.  The announcers also touched on it saying that had Wheeler done better that year, he probably would have won AOY that year.  Maybe it's Kryptonite to some? although Wheeler seemed to put it together today.

We get what we pay for, which is to say this whole deal is free for the viewer.

Apparently, MLF ownership doesn't feel the need to give up their advertising $$$ for more coverage. 

Would you pay a subscription fee for better coverage ?

The non-scopers aren’t catching em this period. Only 3 or 4 scorable fish combined

[A-Jay]

Wheeler doing Wheeler things with a 5-12.

Seems better that sitting this one out.

Yea Wheeler is doing well today..

[A-Jay]

I'm sorry but the "Score Tracker" graphic on the right side of the Live screen view

is just too Big and really distracting.

Went and checked them out today…

Weather was good. Had a fun time.

[Jar11591]

1st period was a 2 man show! They’ve built a nice gap.

Drew Gill is the best test cases for examining FFS usage.   

 

He's proven that he only needs 1/3rd of the fishing time with FFS in order to top 10 BPT tournaments.

 

He's completely one dimensional, but it's hard to argue he's not in the top 3 best scopers alive.   

 

Hope Wheeler wins, at least I know he can fish both ways.

Wheeler is getting it done

Very nice interaction with the young fan as he’s catching fish under her dock! 
good guy👍🏻

I disagree. Kid is sharp as a tack, he’d be successful in any series. He’d probably be successful in anything he chose to do.

 

He’s just smart enough to know that if his FFS is dialed then he doesn’t need to do much else.

I just finished listening to the latest Bass After Dark where they talked about Practice.  Drew Gill said on Thursday night at the end that during practice, the Blue and White Academy boat looms large because Wheeler will seemingly be everywhere.

 

Now on Sunday it's Gill versus Wheeler.

 

[Pumpkin Lizard]

Gill within 10 ounces of Wheeler.

Gill has 2lbs on Wheeler now.

[A-Jay]

5 minutes left ~

one scoreable bass separates 1st & 2nd place.

Oh my. 

Any cast could be the The One.

[F14A-B]

Here’s to hoping Wheeler pulls it off..

[Dan N]

Exciting finish. Congrats to Gill. 

[Tennessee Boy]

That was another good finish.

[Dan N]

I gotta say, that was great. I was really on the edge of my seat! Was pulling for Wheeler, but tip of the cap to Gill! 
he beat one of the best. 

[A-Jay]

Everyone they asked, commentators included,

" After a few great days on the water, why did it turn so tough?"

I love when they all said "I don't know".

Mostly because I never do either.

[Tennessee Boy]

Yeah I was setting here thinking it looked like ideal conditions but it was tough fishing.  
 

I don’t think I could make a cast under a dock with minutes left and $100K on the line.  That was intense.

[F14A-B]

Dang it lol.. well he still won a check and points for AOY..
