Bassmaster classic problems

[little_stephen]

id rather be able to learn something from them fishing rough conditions than see them hauling in massive limits with easy techniques.      I think its more interesting if they really have to fight for it. It seperates the Top from the Best........ not really the Best from the rest, thats why theyre pro!

But regaurdless, someones gunna haul a monster out. thats just how these things go.

To me it doesnt matter, as long as i can take the time to learn something from how they tackle a rough situation!

Naaaahhhhhh, he's not KVD...It's KVD's cousin ..

I agree with most posts, I want to see a classic where they have to "fish" not just "catch". I liked the Pittsburg Classic, I think that tested the anglers skills.

I'm definitely looking forward to it with all these tougher conditions.

I'm with little_stephen, I'd like to see how they do it and pick up a few pointers.   ;D

I like to see them struggle but i have always like big bags on the classic. I did like the tourney last season where KVD was fishing all new water because the bite shut down and he came back to I think win, im not sure which one it was but I did enjoy watching them have to think

I live in Birmingham, AL and have just been bass fishing for the past 1-2 years.  This winter has been remarkable with record cold and consistently cold temperatures.  Last weekend was even more remarkable due to the weather fronts that dumped some snow and made fishing that much more tough as I understand.  It is gonna be still cold most of this week, but as I understand it clear weather and sunny and may warm up for the tournament itself....this weekend may be much different than last weekend, but then again, it may not, water temps at large could still be in the mid 40's, and Alabama bass at this time of year usually see mid 50's....I had read on ESPN that last weekend was tough for pros with few bites but there was a few out there that got bites and hauled in a few good bass....surely this weekend will be more productive (relatively anyway).....it will be interesting for sure!!

You never know how this will work out.  If it warms up at all those bass could really turn on.  Remember that water temp is not the only predictor of the bass life cycle.  It also has to do with the angle of the sun and what bass in that region get used to.  If they are used to bieng prespawn at this time of year it won't take much of a warmup to get those bass moving. 8-)

I love it. This will be the one tournament where they will not be fishing a lake during it's prime time. This will separate the best from the rest. We will actually be able to see if these guys really..... and I mean really know how to find fish and catch them any time and anywhere.

I agree Fluke!  I want to see them spread those wings!

[TommyBass]

I agree that it will help to test their skills some and may better reflect actual talent (of course we can't base everyones talent on one event - people still have bad days).

When the bite is on on a lake its really a toss up. People bring in big bags across the board and many of times the better anglers don't actually win. With fields as large as they are today, you get the lucky ones who just happen to catch a giant... or the ones who win by a few ounces because their fish swallowed a crawdad 10 minutes earlier. Actually, on my tournament days, I HOPE for bad fishing conditions. I feel it gives people who know more about what they are doing an edge and it weeds out the lucky bank beaters.

The good thing is though, sometimes its you that gets lucky

Really, consistency is what matters most, not individual tourneys.
