I had a good first week but my second week sucked.

You and me both, I'm just worried it will swing back at the classic.

I'm curious how these boys who have been fishing MLF are going to do at the Classic after fishing a totally different format. Obviously they're going to want to do well because it's the biggest tournament in all of fishing and it may be the last time they ever get a chance to fish it, but they've all been going about their competition totally different since the end of last season.

jfergus7 · February 19, 2019, 11:03:01 AM

They are all professional fisherman. I highly doubt they will have any trouble.

I think they will be ok since some of them were already fishing MLF and BASS for the last several years.

Only 9 days until the Classic starts. Be sure to get your team selected!

Got mine selected and hope my picks are better this time around.

Smallie_Stalker · March 06, 2019, 04:50:29 PM

Got mine in too. Almost blew it on the tie-breaker guess because at first I forgot this is only a 3 day event.

I had to go back in and adjust my weights.

Gosh this wait has felt like forever

Come on and fish this tourny

fishballer06 · March 08, 2019, 01:37:33 PM

This high, muddy water is going to make this tournament interesting. I think it's going to make some favorites struggle, and some other names you didn't expect will do well.

fishballer06 · March 11, 2019, 08:29:23 AM

Friendly Reminder - This tournament kicks off on Friday morning. Get your picks in by Thursday night.

With that, who are you guys taking this event?

RangerAndBass · March 11, 2019, 10:01:52 AM

My team is in.
Not afraid to give away my 4th place secrets, I went with experience.
Bill Dance, Ray Scott, Hank Parker, Roland Martin and as a long short, Roland's granddaughter Hilary.

Good luck all.

Mike Cork · March 11, 2019, 10:22:34 AM

I'm in... Boy the last bucket has some tough competition in it

What makes things extra tough for me is the sheer number of new guys. Lots of names I don't recognize so I have no real history on these guys strengths or weaknesses.

Today is the day, boys. Here's who I picked. Who's everyone got?!

Defoe
Benton
Swindle
Roy
Tharp

SteveTX · March 15, 2019, 08:26:11 AM

Because when you don't know you don't know. And I don't follow this stuff so I didn't know much.

Anyway here are my picks.

Ott Defoe
Chris Zaldain
Micah Frazier
Brad Whatley
Jacob Powroznik

Lipripper · March 15, 2019, 06:47:40 PM

My team didn't do to bad today and hope they can keep it up.

Ott Defoe 1
Cliff Pirch 3
Bobby Lane 9
Jesse Wiggins 19
Randall Tharp 45

zippyduck · March 15, 2019, 06:52:25 PM

Defoe
Evers
Poche
Martens
Iaconelli

Well at least I have one in the top twenty but everyone picked Defoe.

Lipripper · March 15, 2019, 06:55:28 PM

Looks like several of us picked Defoe.

SteveTX · March 15, 2019, 07:21:36 PM

Ott Defoe 1

Chris Zaldain 28

Micah Frazier 30

Brad Whatley 48

Jacob Powroznik 9

Smallie_Stalker · March 16, 2019, 06:24:53 PM

As of yesterday mine were:

Brent Chapman - 6
Bobby Lane - 9
Casey Ashley - 21
Brent Erhler - 35
Bradley Roy - 43

If Bradley Roy doesn't experience a miracle looks like I won't be winning a Dobyns rod in the UB contest.

Sorry Smallie but don't look like it's going to happen.

How many go into the last day tomorrow? I have two guys in the top 10.

SteveTX · March 16, 2019, 11:04:39 PM

I had a pretty good day. Three in the top 10.

Zaldain a Texas fella came back and laid the smack down 5 fish for 21 - 12!

When I don't have a clue who to pick I usually support a local or someone close geographically.
Defoe and Powroznik aren't out of it yet.

Chris Zaldain 28th now 3rd
Ott Defoe 1st now 4th
Jacob Powroznik 9th to 10th

Brad Whatley 48th to 45th
Micah Frazier 30th to 46th

fishballer06 · March 18, 2019, 09:03:16 AM

So many good guys that I would have been happy to see win the classic, but I was really happy to see Ott pull out the W. Seriously, how can you not cheer for this guy?

I would have been as equally happy to see Wheeler, Daniels, or Zaldain pull it out as well. It was fun watching the weigh in's and seeing the guys get emotional because they know how much BASS means to their lives and careers, after they up and abandoned it over the off season. It might be interesting after this season to see if any of these guys leave MLF to come back to the BASS format.

Defoe - 1
Benton - 32
Swindle - 35
Roy - 50
Tharp - 38
