    I play. My picks didnt fare so well this week.

    With EVERYONE picking KVD and Ike I tried to be original and picked Evers and Ish. Not a good idea. Now I am getting crushed.

    I have Mclelland Defoe Howell Lintner and jonathon Carter. I'm doing decent, if Howell can have a good day that will really help. Lintner is my only guy out of it.

    That is a good crew! Hope you keep doing well.

    I used to play all the time on FLW (who started the fantasy fishing). Back then they gave away $100,000 EACH tournaments and the best in points got $1,000,000 at the end of the year. Plus thousands of other things including boats, trucks, huge amounts of money, atvs, trips, gift cards, and tons of fishing stuff. It was sick. But when the economy went south, so did fantasy fishing...in a huge way. Ive been to lazy since to do it (I know its super easy lol). Hope the payouts get back up like they were...made it a no brainer to play. They payed out to like 500th place if I remember right. I did pretty good, got some cool free stuff.

    Haha it was terrible. Lake was 25' low, and the cold temps were keeping the big females off the banks and scattered around the lake with lock jaw. Locals and guides say it's the worst stretch in over 25 years. It actually took me 3 days to get a BITE.

    Some nice fish were caught by our group. A father son duo caught 3 10'sand and an 11 one day, and there were a few 4-8 pounders caught. Overall the fishing sucked.

    Once the weather stabilizes down there it should rebound.

    I like seeing him do well. I went bass fishing with him in ponds back when he first started fishing. First time he ever bass fished, I was in the pond with him. He has done well for himself.

    KVD, Tracy Adams and Jason Christie can really change up the top of the leader boards if they get one more keeper. All three only have four in the boat for today.

    I just noticed how much Christie is struggling today. Four fish for 6 lbs.... The hometown crowd wont approve of that.

    Yeah its been a tough one for most guys. Gotta remember though that number could be way off. They sure were yesterday. Its just a guess, and sometimes for different reasons the information doesnt get to BASS. Like Swindle yesterday it said he only had 1 and come weight in we seen that was a good bit off.

    Congrats to Cliff Pace. But he may be the most boring person to ever win the classic!

    Thats exactly what I was saying! Everyone shows emotion different, but man that was boring lol. I turned off before he was finished his lap. Normally thats so much fun watching the excitement in them. I was hoping Brandon would win in after hearing his interview. My buddy knows him and hes a good guy. And you can tell it would have been exciting to him. Still great for Cliff and its an awesome accomplishment for anyone.
