This tropical storm that is suppose to drop a ton of rain , I hope they wont have to cancel the tourney again .

Today is the last day to get your picks in. Get it done everyone!

We are underway. To no surprise, Zaldain has over 17 pounds already before 8am. 

A - Palaniuk

B - Kennedy

C - Clent Davis

D - Chris Johnston

E - Zaldain

I have Bill Lowen he's leading the event

 

Sorry, Bill you are going to get jinxed. 

Happens to all the guys I pick

 

Just realized I'm in the lead for the BR group ?

 

Been so long between tournaments I forgot which groups I even entered ?

I had 4 anglers make the cut & 2 in the top 10 fishing today, HOWEVER my 5th angler was Mark Menendez.  I found out last night that he withdrew late Tuesday night after injuring his back.  That means it is worse than a last place finish with 100 plus points.  It is 0, no points at all.  

 

I marshalled for the tournament (recap coming tomorrow), and there was no announcement, either Tuesday night at the marshal meeting or as part of the takeoff.  I didnt hear any of the other anglers mention it.  There was an article on Bassmaster.com that is dated the 10th, but I was in Brandon Lesters boat at the time so I wouldn't have been allowed  to access it in time to change.

 

Crap.

Thats bad luck but look at EBBass in our group . He had Menendez and Jaye. Not only that he had Kennedy too . Poor fella .

My points went up today but my ranking went down . I got the 40 bonus points for Zaldain but so did half the field so my ranking dropped .

Buddy Gross came from 43rd on day one to give me a great tournament by winning, biggest bag, and lunker. 

 

Here's our current top 5 in the group. 

 

Logan  -  3668

SFFishing  -  3596

MSPbass  -  3572

fishballer06  -  3510

concordmountaineer  -  3502

 

We've got a month until the next one, so do your research boys.

I noticed that the anglers who had high ownership at Chickamauga had high ownership on Eufala . A lot of people didnt change their picks . I had Buddy on Chickamauga ,  changed it to Hartman who had a good event .If I had stuck with my Chickamagua lineup I would have had a 

1st instead of 9th

12th both events

36th instead of 29th

21st instead of 68th

10th both events

Heads up everyone - 6 days until rosters lock for the next tournament. Get your picks in now for Cayuga. 

Rumor has it Cayuga has been canceled. Possibly two more will also be canceled.

This sucks

Apparently the next two NY tournaments are still on, for now. Doesn't make much sense considering they're all a week apart from each other. 

touche 2020

Looks like this tourney is a go . I selected Combs , Hanselman , Palanuick , Johnston and Johnston .

Hey everyone, I just got back from vacation and I wasn't around last week to remind everyone about the St. Lawrence event. I hope everyone had a great event. I managed to have the 1st, 2nd, and 7th place finishers on my team, so I did pretty well. I'm actually now in the 99th percentile on BASS, but still in 320th place overall. 

 

Here's our current top 5:

 

Logan - 5109

tmr624 - 4914

fishballer06 - 4905

SFFishing - 4857

MrPeanut - 4821

The next tournament starts Thursday .I'm guessing practice is today and  tuesday . For those guys who fished Sunday , they have to be exhausted . I have two contestants on my initial lineup who fished sunday but I dont know about that . How effective can they practice ? I think the guys who didnt   fish on the weekend will be fresher and have an advantage .

Yeah, history on this lake could be crucial. Exhaustion could play into too.

Champlain has to be the most interesting tournament fishery. Smallmouth vs largemouth, shallow vs offshore...Weather is supposed to be good so the largemouth oriented anglers can make the long runs to the south end of the lake. I went with some guys who can catch them anywhere, as well as two northern guys who might just feel a little more comfortable. My tie breaking weight is 83lbs 6oz. Here's my lineup:

 

 

Clark Wendlandt

Brandon Lester

John Cox

Bryan Schmitt

Lee Livesay

Palaniuk

Zaldain

Jocumsem

Schmitt

Livesay

Palaniuk

Feider

Cox

Schmitt

Livesay

Hartman and Feider both in 1st/2nd according to basstrak. My bracket is looking good already.
