Classic Updates...

[Set The Hook]

I like Faircloth's fishing style. Or maybe it's just because I'm a slow fisherman.

[JohnMickish]

Between the Classic updates going on and my playing my Wii Bass Pro Shops bass game this is driving me nuts. Where are those 70 degree days??

[NTW]

Haha, so I'm watchin the BassCast for Takahiro and the camera is mounted on the outboard. Never shuts off. Even when he is taking a leak.

Was fun to watch his entire day on the water...

[swampbuck]

Was just talking to my tournament partner and we both decided as I see most of you have the classic pretty much gets us all into spring fever mode. Good thing they have it Fri to Sun so we are only unproductive at jobs on friday! KVD is the man!!!

He will be tough to beat. but this one is still wide open IMO

Fun to watch cant wait for ESPN2 to start airing the shows Sat!

[mabr]

Anyone find where to watch the weight in without having espn 360. Only thing i can find is the updates that shows weights.

[lookincalifornia]

i just had to hit my local pond today(classic fever) while you guys are waiting for the snow to melt, i thought i'd share that i got a 4 pounder on topwater today!

i'm thinking it's been a few years since KVD won a classic, this could be his year again.

[bassNspear]

I have a feeling KVD might pull this out. After reading the blog this morning, sounds like there is sooooo many people following him, he might have to change it up and go to a place where there isnt as much population of other boats watching him!

The spectators should back off a bit then... Thats not fair at all if a guy has to leave his fish because of other people crowding him

And the fans at the metro dome should keep quiet when the other team has the ball.

Some people come from as far as Mn to see some of these guys fish. As we all know it has become a spectator sport.

[TonkaBass]

I'm not allowed on the field when I go to a footbal game...

[walleye365]

agree 100% Tonka the spectators ote to know that and if your a fan why would you want to get in the way of your favorite angler. dont understand

[grab the net]

Although it puts him at a slight disadvantage, its the price he pays for being KVD. He'll be fine, he's KVD for crying out loud.

[walleye365]

i know what your sayin,but being a fan or not id back off these guys its respect factor i guess.

[TurnUpTheFishing]

Just how close are these specators getting?

I seem to recall a baseball game when 1 fan got in the way of a guy making a catch and it's all we heard about on TV and radio for weeks.

People just need to use common sense.

[TonkaBass]

i watched the Basscam on the HSOforum and it did look like they were giving him his room... I would just hate to see them accidentally get in his way and hurt his success... like said before though, he is KVD!

[LOTWSvirgin]

Maybe he was just being nice but he was happy about how they gave him his room today

Watching the tv coverage tonight, at least on the overhead shots of KVD, it did not look like anyone was within a 100 yards. Everybody was back by the bridge from what I saw. Should be a shoot out tomorrow.

[Basscat]

What happened to Skeet Reese? He got 43rd place!

[TODDY]

I know the weigh-in is 4:30 CST. What time is the fishing actually completed? Can't find this anywhere????

TODDY

[Dourque]

What happened to Skeet Reese? He got 43rd place!

He did not catch any fish! j/k but 3 fish in 2 days wow didn't see that one coming. He did say his pre-fishing was bad, but alot of guys say that. really thought he would be more of a factor, but just goes to show that even the best can have it all wrong once in awhile.

[Wayne Ek]

You can find the scores on Bass Trakk, but I do not want to spoil any TV watching tonight for anyone.

[TonkaBass]

I haven't looked yet today... Goin out to the bar to watch the weigh in and eat some buffalo wings!

[TR21HP]

It's KVD with the largest bag of the day to nip Jeff Kriet!

Absolutely the best there ever was and is.
