Title: Fantasy Fishing 2021 - Official Thread
Post by: fishballer06 on January 09, 2021, 08:03:47 PM
The time has come for the 2021 Fantasy Fishing season to begin. For those unfamiliar, we have been doing this for a few years now as a fun way to compete and have a little fun among all our members. Do you think you have what it takes to take home 1st place for the season?


Group Name: UltimateBass.com

Password: UB2021


We encourage all members to play along. Just pick your anglers prior to each BASS Elite event and share them (or don't) with the group. It's all part of the fun!

Thank you to everyone who messaged me about getting the 2021 season rolling. We're currently 32 days out from the first event of the 2021 season. Last season we had 30 participants, of which 18 played every event. Here's who our top performers were last year. Do you think you have what it takes to take them down?

Subscribe to this thread. I try to post a reminder before every event.

Also, there's a way in the settings on the Bassmaster website to get email reminders before each event.

It's pretty simple (compared to Fantasy football or other sports).

Prior to each event, you pick one angler in each "bucket" as they're called, who you think will do the best at that event.

After the event, you will get points based on how the anglers you picked did. And those points get tallied all year long.

If you have any questions along the way, feel free to ask.

Well if Clouse has burnt that flat he was waxing them on I might have a chance at some good points. The only guy I have fishing today is Hackney but he's doing well as of right now.

At the end of day two my picks fell in at... Ricky Ticky Spinnerbait let me down this year...

I was really surprised Clunn didn't do better. He always does well on this body of water. I almost went with him in that bucket, but I went with Mark Menendez because of his good history there too. Looks like I lucked out on  that one. Mark is my best performer so far.

I was fortunate that my picks did better after the first day. I was only sitting at 86% after the first day. What is crazy is I almost switched out Kelley Jaye for Menendez in bucket E which would have put me into the top 10 in the overall standings. Consistency is the key though and if I have one bomb it will be hard to recover for the remainder of the season.

I took Queen in bucket E instead of Menendez. I picked the wrong rookie to do well. Still in the top 10 so I can't complain. Good fun.

Looks like Kelly Jaye's boat broke down on day 1 and he didn't get to fish. Totally killed my tournament. Followed up by Justin Atkins (who considers this lake his home lake) only caught 1 fish on day two.

This year is not my year for Fantasy.

After day 1 of this event I was at the 52nd percentile (Jaye blanking because of a broken down boat was the main cause). But now today I'm sitting pretty at the 70th percentile. This is the highest I've been ranked all season.

I had him as well. These water conditions stumped even the locals.

I was really hoping Brock Mosley would pull it out yesterday because I had him, but I'm really glad Bill Lowen finally got a win. He's deserved it for a long time now.

Big shout out to rbspots who had our best performance this event with 1194 points. I'm curious who you had on your roster.

Our current top 3 guys after three events are:
BHenke
Williampitts

For anyone who may have had Tyler Carriere on their roster, he has dropped out for the season due to family problems. So adjust accordingly.

I know picking locals can sometimes bite you hard but hoping my lineup pays off this week.

I think I picked all three LOL I can't remember now. I know I did, then changed, then picked again, I'll have to look  ~b~

This one sets up to help the locals, especially someone that is from further in Louisiana and will have fished the Calcasue River (that's not even close to how it's spelled... dam cajuns)

Well this even is setting up just how I expected. Super low weights, tight fields, and lots of guys struggling to even get a limit.

I just watched some highlight clips.

Christie is putting on a spinnerbait clinic!! Throwing a big Colorado bladed bait with a short rod, making short, pinpoint casts to shoreline structure.

Man I suck at picking these. I'm gonna have to hit the top five dead on in order to catch up...

I haven't watched any of it but that's a great pattern when the water is a little cooler up here in North Louisiana...

Really glad to see Christie get a win, and he did it throwing my favorite technique right now as well, a spinnerbait. I know Feider was throwing the same thing as well. Despite the low weights, this was a fun event to watch. Lake Fork should make for a totally different event.



9 days. Get those picks in.

Go to the fantasy page and sign up for the new contest, Drain the Lake. It should be fun! You can only pick an angler once for the entire season. Better make them count. My picks are in for both contests. Good luck fellas.

For the record (because I've received PM's), the new Drain The Lake contest has nothing to do with the regular group competition that we have going on here. Playing Drain The Lake is NOT a requirement.

Par for course Fantasy Fishing isn't working in my region. I pick my anglers but they don't show up in the group section. It let me pick a tie breaker weight  ~rant

I'll keep trying, usually it lets me pick sooner or later. Hopefully I remember Monday as I'm going out of town in the morning...

I just wanted everyone to be aware of a new game. It's not part of the other fantasy fishing group that we are in. It should however be fun.

I try not to pay too much attention to the standings after the first day. A lot changes the second day. I just want my guys to make the cut. The scores settle in and get real close to what they will be after the 3rd day.

It will be interesting to see how the scores go as the year goes on with the drain the lake contest. You can only pick an angler once so figuring out the long haul will be a challenge!

These were my selections from Lake Fork. What sucks is I actually had Lee Livesay on my team but dropped him the night before the tourney started for John Cox. The only reason I did this was because of an article that was posted on the Bassmaster website the day before the tourney started with everyone they interviewed saying it was going to be won shallow. I probably would have been inside the top 150 in the overall standings had I not done that.
A   John Cox
B   Stetson Blaylock
C   Drew Benton
D   Chad Pipkens
E   Chris Zaldain

Thanks and I moved up to 101 after today. What's crazy is two tournaments in a row I have changed an angler in bucket A for another angler the night before the tournament started that would probably had me inside the top 25 or better. I switched Lee Livesay for John Cox at Lake Fork and I switched Brock Mosley for Matt Herren here.

Congrats to Hank Cherry for winning it back to back! What an accomplishment to do, especially after watching Kennedy whack them on day one.

I for one did terrible this event (25, 32, 40, 44, 45). But no worries, I've got nearly a month to research before Champlain.

One heck of a lineup Back and Red! I climbed a little in the group due to a last minute switch from New to Arey but slipped some on the drain the lake standings. Looking forward to the last 2!

I was running in pretty much last place for a while, but I'm up to 15th in the UB group. Either getting lucky or getting the hang of it  (probably the former)  lo

19 days until Champlain. There's some guys who have some history on Champlain that isn't through BASS, so do your research.  ~shade

I'm surprised at my lineup for Champlain. I picked some really good heavy hitters with really good history and they have very low percentages. Maybe everyone else knows something that I don't? I'm either going to be a hero or zero on this one!

Post by: fishballer06 on June 22, 2021, 07:57:39 AM
15 days til Champlain.


One thing to keep in mind - lots of the guys who came over from FLW have history on Champlain that isn't documented on the BASS website.  ;)

Cox is out. He's been DQ for fishing the waters within 30 days.  Adjust accordingly

7.3% ownership still too. He fished an MLF event recently, which led to the DQ, for those who are wondering.

Maybe I am an idiot but if Cox is DQd why is he still fishing?  I would think he might like a couple days off to heal up the body and mind!😂

These guys are animals. I would imagine it's a process of staying in shape - mind and body

There's been some confusion. Cox is DQ'd from the St. Lawrence event, not Champlain.

62, 51, 18, 30, 13.

Scott Martin with 16-11 and in 62nd place. A pound or two makes all the difference in the world out there this week. 17-11 currently would put you in 38th place. 

I wanted to take Feider in bucket A, but Martin has 3 FLW wins on this lake. Hopefully he can sack them up today.

Two extra pounds today and the top couple drop two pounds and the whole board shakes up like dice.

Martin, Mueller, and Shryock killed me. Martin taking 87th after having 3 FLW wins on this lake was unexpected. And Mueller and Shryock struggling whenever they're northern hammers is just a summary of how my season has gone.

Luckily Demarion and Pipkens have saved me. I'd really like to see the local boy win this thing. He lives about 40 minutes north of Zippy and I.

Wow, what an event. I was busy all weekend and didn't get to watch the live, but I kept checking the live tracking. As much as I hate having these quick turn arounds, I won't complain about back to back weekends of live bass fishing. St. Lawrence kicks off Thursday. Get your picks in quickly boys. And remember, John Cox is DQ from this event. 


Our current top 5 is:

BHenke - 9753
Flatsnbay - 9294
Blacknredflake - 9281
kdubracing - 9175
twocold - 9166

Don't worry I am good to go. These northern tournaments are far easier to pick so I think I should be ok. I am still kicking myself from some changes earlier in the year that very well may have had me in the top twenty or better in the overall standings.

Well, another year of Fantasy Fishing has come and gone. I can't tell you guys how much I always look forward to talking with you guys leading up to events, during the events, and then recapping them afterward. This game really is a ton of fun I think for all members no matter how good or bad you may think your picks may be. 

For 2021, we had 27 members play along, 20 of whom played in every single event. I love that we have this many people playing along. For me personally, I think this was the worst season I have every had in fantasy (9,502 points, 75.0%) but I still had a blast regardless. 

Now for our 2021 Top 5 players: 

1st - BHenke - 10,909
2nd - Flatsnbay - 10,434
3rd - BlacknRedFlake - 10,383
4th - kdubracing - 10,151
5th - rbspots - 10,091


Congrats to BHenke for his season win! He managed to basically dominate all season and it possibly one of the highest placing members I've ever seen from the groups I run in this game.

Waiting until January for the 2022 season is going to be a long wait. Hopefully all of you return and we gain even more new players.
