Its good to see Gary Klein in the top 12. I'm rooting for him to win it all. 

i  had klein last tourney and got the boot. i wish i took him this week i was ify on him. i got wheeler in 4th right now. biffle is a big name in la crosse and i went with him and did 89th. i was ticked. 

so ish takes the win...... well then...

Congratulations Ish! On to Oahe starting this friday.

so I may have done alright on that one ? one of the better tournaments I’ve had in a long while

I was completely shocked to see Ish win. I followed the whole tournament up until about 2 PM on Sunday and I thought for sure that JPow or Tharp was going to win it. Woke up this morning and saw that Ish won and I was shocked. Congrats to him though. I know it's been a few years for him.

I had the same reaction, I knew he made the top 12 but he wasn't on my radar to win.

 

This next one will be a little harder to pick, I doubt anyone has fished this lake before, other than pre-practice.

I think Lake Oahe is gonna be a game changer for the fantasy league. Its an unknown lake with no pro tournaments on it that I know of. So how do you call it? By type of bass? Its a smallmouth lake. Do you take the classic smallmouth fishermen or do you go with the pros who come from that area (I think there are only 2)? Gonna be fun.

Yeah - really up in the air on these.  Even the pundits are kinda shrugging. 

 

I'm sticking with:

a) Wheeler (maybe changing to Strader or Ashley - KVD is a sure bet, but for the points, I'm staying away)

b) Feider (maybe switching to Faircloth)

c) Elam (or Combs)

d) Hunter Shryock (but looking really close at Dustin Connell)

e) Williamson? You could really throw a dart at the top half of that category.  Would like to see Horton have a good outing.

C. Combs

This event is going to be anyone's guess. I tried to stick with smallmouth/river guys. The main river channel of this lake is over 100' deep. 

 

KVD

Feider

Avena

JVD

Walker

 

Side note - in the three years I've been doing fantasy, I think this is the first time I've ever picked KVD.

I selected five anglers I never picked before . They all have had good finishes in northern lakes .

I was totally thrown off by this tournament being Friday to Monday. I just logged in to check BassTrak and realized this...

I just read on Bassmaster that the cell service is virtually non existent on the majority of the lake, so Bass Live might suck and BassTrak probably will too. 

This is a tough one. I've made my pics but I don't feel very confident about them. ?

Martens

Ehrler

Elam

A. Jones

Schultz

Word on the street is only 50 or so marshals showed up so BassTrak is going to be useless and with the extremely poor cell service the weigh-ins will be entertaining like they should be.

How in the world does Jonathan VanDam spend 3 days practicing on a smallmouth lake and then come to the scales with 3 keepers weighing under 4 lbs total?

 

i was wondering the the heck was going on.

An overwhelming majority of people did. Myself included ?

I didnt pick a team....

 

Couldnt do any worse than the other weeks.....

I can't remember watching a weigh in and seeing more anglers with frustrated looks on their faces than today. Hopefully the wind will lay down some tomorrow.
