pretty sure smith lake is primarily spotted bass which are not prone to getting as big as largemouth. that's why the weight's aren't huge

I was aware of that, but thanks though.?

 

I just mentioned it might not be as exciting to watch as stage 4 was. But again, it's a diversity thing..

 

Locals that fish Smith Lake are probably enjoying watching it though.

Jacob Wheeler did prove that big largemouth live there too! catch one of those and make up some SERIOUS ground.

oh they're definitely mixed in, just not as common

How about Christie going from 39th to 18th?

 

I love watching on cut days.  The movement around that cut line is great.  I find it funny when people say "anybody can catch a bunch of small fish".  Obviously, if you have watched enough of MLF you would realize that there are lots of times the best fisherman in the world cant!!!  

Anybody notice some big name Anglers struggling? 

 

How can they Excel in B.A.S.S. but falter so bad in MLF? 

KVD is the most successful  MLF Cup angler of all time with 3 wins.  He knows the format.  Right now he is not making the right choices.  I think history shows many anglers are streaky.  When they are hot it seems like everything they do works. When they are cold its the opposite. A few years ago the talk was what is wrong with KVD and will he ever win again.  I think he won 3 tournaments the following year.  When I look at the MLF standings the one thing I notice is the field is STACKED.  It seems like there are a ton of big names, so no matter what there will be big names at the top, big names in the middle,  and big names at the bottom. 

There's nothing like grinding on dinks all week long. It makes all but the last 10 minutes of each round boring as anglers try to make the cut.

In honor of Dean Rojas winning, here is a cool pic I took of him on Monday during practice  

Sweet pic. One day that will be me... ?

One day that will be you taking a picture of Dean Rojas?

 

I joke I joke!!! I keed I keed!!!

So the next event starts on Friday the 17th, is that so they can have Memorial Day weekend off?

 

Weird to start a 6 day event on a Friday.

 

On know many lakes where the boat traffic on Friday is minimal and then once the weekend rolls around it's like a huge parking lot out there.

Advantage for Group A fishing Friday or Group B's first day being Saturday?

It’ll affect group B equally, which is ok since they’re not eliminating or combining with the top 20 from

Group A Monday and Tuesday, respectively.
