looks like he found significantly bigger fish than the other guys. I wonder if he had a kicker fish or if he found some better quality. Anybody know?

If I'm mistaken, for give me.

I believe FLW allowed them to go through more locks than the BASS boys did in 2005.   I thought BASS put off limits after #3 lock, I think.

 It was said a few went a long ways and thats why there wasn't one update on Hackney and a few others.  

We'll get the stories after its over for sure.  

yes, FLW is letting them lock up the Allegheny more than Bass did,

It really wasn't BASS as much as it was Pa Fish and Boat commission rules. in 2005 the pool above lock 3 was a 15inch min pool so even if you caught fish that were legal in other pools (12 in min) you could not even have them in your live well when pass through pool 3. this shut off anybody from going up the Allegheny this is why BASS did not let them go up north. now that pool is a 12 inch min.

however: FLW is not letting them lock down the Mon as much, only one lock and only to the mouth of the Yough river. really didn't understand that one :-/ FyI the mon has more LM than the other rivers.

Still a shootout at this point, quite exciting I must say.

Yes, bigger fish are showing up. Hack had 2 fish over 3 lbs today.

Just shows how different these rivers fish depending on conditions.

GO DAVE!

This rising dirty water suits Hackney.

6lbs 6oz leads it on day 3.

How can Larry Nixon weigh in 2 bass weighing a total of 10oz?

Had a 3rd fish that didn't measure, and was penalized a pound I think.

That's exactly what happened (I was at the weight-in today when they made that announcement).

He should have used Catch & Release.  Smallies will shrink up in the livewell like that due to stress.  That sucks.

Will largemouth or just smallies?

Leaving for Pittsburgh in an hour, headed down to the show and for the final weigh-in. Will try to grab a few photos.

Gonna try to hook up with flyhatch (member here).

Should be interesting to see what unfolds today. It's still anyone's ballgame.

More to follow

I find largies do more than smallies. It has bit me in the butt on more than one occasion in 10 fish limit tourneys.

I'm stoked for the final weigh-in.

3 BASS boys duking it out on the FLW.

I hear the Hack is on the "attack". Got limit with 2 lb kicker.

Ike got his 5 lb kicker, a catfish, you know that got his emotions flowing. Reported Ike's got 5 as well.

Salewske is reported to have one. He's been consistent all 3 days with 5-6 lbs every day. Consistency wins.

Nixon was true to his word, they said he threw big baits today.

Not much on Dave L. today.

I'm ready, anglers are off the water already, concert is going on, and then the weigh-in.

Greg Hackney wins it! Mike Iaconelli follows in second, short by only 3 ounces.

Hackney for the win

NICE...Those B.A.S.S. anglers put it too the FLW pros (Hackney #1 and Ike #2). Ike lost by just 3 ounces (his co-angler won the co-angler championship yesterday with 5 fish and Ike only had 4 yesterday.  He could of used one of his co-anglers fish yesterday).

Congrats to Greg Hackney for a major milestone in his career.

How about those Elites going one and two on FLW's grandiest stage?

I thought the FLW put on a good show.   Would love to have better footage of live coverage on the water.

Flw Cup Winner Greg Hackney

He said he was throwin Spinnerbaits and jigs most of the time and that seems to suit him just fine

It's probably a good chance that Hack was using RT trailer's on those jigs too.
