2022 Bassmaster Classic Pick the winning weight contest

Okay it's that time of year again. The Bassmaster Classic is coming. Time to guess the winning weight of the BASSMASTER CLASSIC and win some baits!!!

This is the OFFICIAL THREAD.  Please ONLY post your guess in this thread. Just entries please.

2021 Bassmaster Classic – Lake Hartwell, Greenville SC.   4-6 March 2022

Do your research to determine what you think the winning weight might be. Remember, this is a three-day event (not four like the regular season). So only 3 days of 5 bass limits (15) Lake Hartwell bass. 

Here's how the contest works:
You make your guess of what the winning weight will be in LBS / OZ for this year's BASSMASTER CLASSIC and you wager a new bait as an entry fee. By playing, you agree to mail the bait directly to the winner. The winner is the person guessing closest to the winning weight without going over.

Myself or a UB Staff Member, will summarize the guesses periodically. Edited wagers will be disqualified. This is a fun game for all to play honestly and fairly.

The contest closes 4 am EST March 4 (just prior to the day one launch). The contest will be decided when they crown the Classic Champ on March 6th. There will be NO accommodations or adjustments for fog delays or full days cancelled by weather, high water, etc. Or if the venue gets changed to a different body of water. The winning weight is the winning weight, as published by B.A.S.S. If it goes to a sudden death fish off and the winner is declared by catching the first fish, the winning weight is the weight posted on bassmaster.com for the final results for everyone to view.

This thread is the Official Contest Thread where you should post your guess. 

ONLY POST CONTEST ENTRIES to this thread.

Make your guesses like this:   
"LBS/OZ" - "UB NAME" - "BAIT WAGER"

Example: (this is not my guess)
57 pounds 13 ounce - Mike Cork - Mr. Twister Buzz Bugs

No duplicates guesses, first come first serve. Wait too long and someone will pick your weight...

Tip - you can't have 16 oz (16oz equals 1 lb) ,  so its  LBS / 1-15 oz

Good Luck !

Rules are subject to change at my discretion.

not that it matters.  but seems that 'good form' might be to not just 'one ounce a guy'.  specially this early in the process.
jeez!
~roflmao
the good news is I probably don't get a chance at winning though.

no worries.  like I said, not sure what in the world I would do if I won the darned thing... but it's a great chance to share some baits with other folks.
it couldn't have been more funny though.  I was torn between  ~rant and  ~roflmao .  which is just how great a 'play' it was/is.  intentional or unintentional.
I've always been the 'go big or go home' guy in years past.  figuring on over 20#/day for the win.  this year, looked at weather.  compared to last time it was there.

heading over to the show on Saturday to see some folks/vendors I want to catch up with and just chat a bit.  will have to stop by the VEXUS booth of course.  wish ZOOM would be there.  Megabass will.

Every year the winner needs to get a bigger mailbox from all those new baits in the mail.

Get your guesses in. The Classic is only a few days away!

it's a solid pick.  figure a mix of cooler temps leading up.  3-day warming trend.  but with falling water...  not stable. 

someone could find a key staging area and sack up some big girls.  or it could go according to recent year trends...  3 lb bass could be gold.

a sack of 3-lb spots with a kicker LMB...  that's a top 5 ticket.  but this one is go big or go home...  man, I'm getting excited.

playing hookey FRIDAY and driving over to the expo...

Thanks, Mike. The weights were definitely tight in this one.

A few people have already reached out to me for my address. I'm not going to post my address here publicly just for safety reasons, so please reach out to me for my address if you played along. Thanks everyone!

Congrats Seth!

I didn't play this year but if I had I would have lost by 3 oz. My guess was gonna be 54 lbs. 3 oz. In cases like that I'd rather lose by a lot than be so close.

Nice job bud. Congrats again
