First Day Qualifying Round Group A ~

Missed the first period of this one.

During this 2nd period Alton Jones Jr just broke off a potential $25,000 fish.

Oh Man !

Not fair - probably user error - lol. Both of Randy Howell’s giant bass and all 4 of Josh Jones’ ShareLunkers were all fluorocarbon caught fish. 
 

 

 

Of Course they were, Don’t doubt it one bit. The majority of all fish caught were probably on it.

Lol. I know. Just stirring the pot a little. ? 

Day 1 is in the books.

Ott DeFoe barefooted his way to the top of the leader board with 35 lbs.

Saw some sight fishing  today . . .

 It'll be interesting to see how both the anglers and all those shallow fish adjust to several days of high wind.

Tournament’s as old school as you can get?
Scissor flipping, frogs, buzz baits, swim & vibe jigs fishing brush, trees and stumps. 
No live scopes, even checking water depth with their rods (which we always called a Florida depth finder?). 

Qualifying – Day 2 - Group A - Period 1

S L O W so far today ~

Is Wheeler in a different boat today? 

They use MLF boats during these events. I know Fletcher was a bit frustrated on Day 1 with the boat he was in. 

 

Wheeler has been non existent in this tournament. It is odd to see him not in the top 5.  I am glad to see Ott doing well though. He and Texas go together well!

Wheeler's usually 'practicing' half way through day two.

Also, Wesley makes me laugh.

I'm an Ott Defoe fan but it's hard for me to watch him fishing with no shoes.   I could never walk around all those hooks with bare feet!

Gotcha, I figured that was the case.

Maybe I spoke too soon...in 9th currently

Yeah, pretty awesome fishing!

 

FYI, maybe the admins can move your post to another thread that's been going on...

 

Gotta love this tourney for wheeler, livescope isn't going to be a big player. Some true old school bass fishing. I LIKE IT!! 

 

Is Tak throwing a chatterbait or just pure swim jig? He's throwing it pretty deep into cover, I wouldn't think a regular chatterbait would come cleanly through that stuff and he would snag more... (like I snag with chatterbaits...)

Yes I’ll see if they can. 

With just over an hour of fishing time left

Wesley Strader is one decent scoreable bass below the cut line.

He just lost what looked like a likely candidate boat side.

After which WS proceeded to 'throw a conniption fit'.

Although carried out off camera, 

it is easily identified by a spontaneous outburst of anger or frustration.

Wild animation, gesticulations, and flailing of limbs often accompanies said outburst, adding visual flavor to the experience.

It is getting interesting here down to the last 35 minutes or so. Wheeler is clawing back, Ish is getting some distance. Its coming down to the wire with a few guys!

Strader has lost more fish than I can even count...

I wonder why?

Me feels like he's definitely HORSING them too hard, just my .02 cents....

 

All of the anglers are in MLF boats, promoting the MLF sponsors. 

 

Strader wanted to drop some F bombs hardcore after losing that fish. I do not think it was the 25K fish, but it was decent. I also agree that he should have slow rolled that fish a bit better.

Thanks for the details.

Yeah, I don't know if it was bigger than the Roy 6-09.

Me too!!! Hahah. Especially after I’ve gotten stuck for the 15th time and had to break off again. Maddening I say

Every time any of my buddies loses a fish, my friend will says “you horsed him.” So of course then we all started saying it, like clockwork

Dudley throws some pretty good tantums. Not Ike level, but close sometimes. Can't say that I'd fair any better with that much $$$ on the line.
