I’m sure it helps some when you buy whatever is on the commercials. But the opens field is always full with people trying to get to the elites, willing to fork over big bucks for a chance 

Dang! 19 guys in Housen!

Has there been any coverage on Zaldain? I haven’t seen him once. He’s always a blast to see. 

Pipkens got 2 fish for 4 lbs, that’s how I roll

That's the first I've heard of anyone bed fishing. No locals I know are even seeing beds.

Good to see soukup get a big bag today, he had a rough season last year

Nobody buys what the pros are pitching yet the winning bait always sells out. Weird, I know.

The fans aren’t the customers, the competitors are. I don’t pay them a dime, each competitor pays them about 45k dollars per year 

And that money comes from the fans and anglers supporting the business. Small as it is, without the fans the whole professional bass fishing industry probably comes to a screeching halt.

A screeching halt ? You seen the bait monkey thread ? 😂 fishermen gonna fish 

Robert Gee in the lead!

I seem to remember a thread where a bunch of people called him washed and he’s just taking a spot for other anglers 🤔. Glad to see him proving that group wrong, guy is a hammer. 

Pepperidge farm remembers……..

Love this Gee guy, great on camera lol

Milliken looks like he’s on a good group the last few hours. 2 5+ lbers and already over 20lbs for the day.

Caught another 4.5 lber in the last hour. Culled out a 2. Sitting at 22, his weights are all even numbers I’d expect him to come in a bit higher. Maybe not as bad as Walters under reporting 😂

What I was just explaining to my son too. He’s hammering um. Gonna be a fun weigh in

Ben is having one of his days right now and there's a really good chance he's going to run into a 9 or 10 pounder here soon.  Knows what he's doing on Toledo for sure.

When his first or second fish was a 7 it seemed like he was gonna make a run. Keep waiting to see a Gina show up lol

Could be. He's making a run.

 

 

As someone that moved from Toledo country to east tn where damiki rigging really came to the forefront, this is insane to see how much ffs is playing a role in to this on the big border pond. For the record even though I live in east tn I’m still useless dropping on them 😂
