nitro929 Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 gary dobyns still in first place after 2 days Quote
GKramer Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 It has been classic desert warfare--except the leader has things well in hand. Still, there is really no other tournament quite like this one. And given the entry fee, compared to the FLW Series, it was a nice chance for the westerners to match up with some nationals for a week. I think the event is seeing a revival. Quote
Mattlures Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 I am pulling for my friend John Kerr, he is looking strong withing range but Dobyns's lead s probably too much at this point Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted September 3, 2009 BassResource.com Administrator Posted September 3, 2009 Dobyns took it. I think that's something like the 40th or 50th boat he's won. Quote
Super User Gatorbassman Posted September 3, 2009 Super User Posted September 3, 2009 That would be boat #40 for him. Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted September 3, 2009 Super User Posted September 3, 2009 That would be boat #40 for him. That's just ridiculous... Gene, think he'll sell me one cheap? : ;D Quote
miked62 Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 Hey, I got to congratulate a fellow Aussie who fished your WON US Open. Carl Jocumsen finished 2nd in the AAA. And he contributed more fish to the bag than his pro's on each day as well. Not bad for his 1st trip to the US and his 1st tourny over there. If this kid gets noticed over there He could do anything! He's the number 1 ranked bass angler in Australia and the highest money earner on the Aussie circuit. He also manages one of the most popular tackle stores in the state and co-hosts a fishing show on tv out here. Easily the most popular bass angler in Australia. And all at the age of 24. If he gets a gig over there and stays a while it would certianly make it a little easier for the rest of us back home to win occasionally. Cheers Mike D Quote
GKramer Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 Hey, this year's Open really had the feel of those early events where East met West, and they all fished til they dropped. Earlier today, Rick Clunn compared Lake Mead to the Masters Golf Tournament at Augusta, saying instead of greens keepers altering the same course, Nature was responsible out in Nevada. But then, he wound up and let a whole bunch of pro anglers take it in the chops. Makes me glad I'd already fished a couple in the past. Quote
