Next stop Seminole

[beeflover]

I just put a fantasy team in, don't really have a clue. I have a Lane, a Horton, a Hite, a Niggermeyer and a Powroznic. But now that I don't have them on my team I'm sure Tharp or Christie will be up there but I'm mad at them from my classic team.

But I'm alway pulling for Derek Remitz who fished in a local MN club not to many years ago.

Ike had a tough day of practice and has the flu.

[beeflover]

Ike never quits tho. He'll be a player by Thursday morning I bet.

The temp down there was 82 for a high, surface water temps, early 60's high, main lake 55-58 yesterday, full moon and a local pro says the spawn is really late and is probably just getting going.

I wish i was down there, there could be some big weights of sows fulla eggs.

Water visibility has been poor but improving. This is info from the Bass fantasy blog which is produced by some local MN fellas, check it out.

30lb 5oz sack for Shaw Grigsby leads after day one.

He is targeting pre spawn and bed fish.

Bernie Schultz weighed 26-14.

A 10lb 10oz largemouth was his big fish and is Big Bass so far.

I think it will take 100lbs or more to win

[bassfshin24]

Man my fantasy struggled! My highest guy is 36. Yikes...should have know to pick Shaw with bed fishing

[beeflover]

Shaw was a favorite on the Bass fantasy blog, i scratched my head picking him because he lives in FL and is a great site fisherman as well as all round fisherman.

Seems like everyone complained about too many boats fishing the shallows and a lot of pressure on the bedding fish, I guess that won't improve until after tomorrows cut.

Weather for next two days is around 70 for highs, light SW wind next two days the fishing might get even better.

[RumRiverRat]

Fog Delay hurt Shaw this morning.

Only has about 10 pounds in the boat.

[RumRiverRat]

Brett Hite weighs 20lb 11oz to take the lead with 45lb 6oz.

Shaw drops to 6th after weighing 12lb 5oz.

[Hester]

I think I was tied for first place after day 1 for fantasy fishing.

That's not just for our fishing Minnesota group, its overall.

And they did even better today so we will see......

[mwal]

What happened to Randy he didn't even weigh in?

[RumRiverRat]

Looks like Shaw has 15lbs and is in the lead by 3 pounds or so.

Amart making a big move with at least 25lbs in the livewell.

[RumRiverRat]

Brett Hite with 26lb 5oz is in 1st with a commanding 10lb lead

Aaron Martens weighs 29lb 11oz to make a massive jump into the top 5.

[RumRiverRat]

Brett Hite weighs 25lb 10oz and wins with a total weight of 97lb 10oz.

Day 4 was cut short due to threat of severe weather and tornados this afternoon.

[beeflover]

Hester really picked them! I see he finished number 2, that's amazing. There must be thousands of people playing this. I had Brett Hite and my next was Niggemeyer, had four fishing yesterday but only Hite made the cut.

Surprised this seemed to be mostly a prespawn tourney way down to the Florida line. Does this mean they won't spawn up here until mid June?

Picking St Johns won't be easy either and it comes up fast being next weekend!

[TR21HP]

Triple R it looks like the minor leagues, as you put it, is kicking the majors butt as two out of three tourneys have been won by FLW guys. Hmmm.

[RumRiverRat]

The FLW is slowly going to fade away.

The few good sticks are jumping ship.

The FLW format is outdated.

The few talented guys from FLW realize the Elites are where they need to be.

Limited event schedule and limited ability to promote yourself hurts FLW.

[TR21HP]

Agree with most of what you're saying but there's still an awful lot of good fisherman in the FLW. Honestly you have to fish against these guys to see how good they really are.

Actually now they have me listed 1st overall. Not sure if it will hold up but if it does, where is the nearest Bass Pro Shops? I might have $2500 to spend. Whoot whoot!

[bassfshin24]

Don't you win an aluminum triton boat if ya win the whole thing? At least ya did a couple years ago

[RumRiverRat]

I think you won Hester it came down to a biggest bag tie breaker.

There is a guy with a post complaining how he thought he won then showing him in 2nd place due to a tie breaker on another forum.

[Hester]

I'm hoping so, I hate to get to excited just to find out that someone else won.

FLW is going nowhere as long as Walmart decides to sponsor them. If Walmart drops them then FLW will be in real trouble.

FLW has just as many good sticks as B.A.S.S.. Check out the BassFan Rankings if you don't believe me. I think it is actually harder to be a top stick in FLW because the size of the field is so much bigger.

[bassfshin24]

So you get $2500 for scoring the highest for one of the tourneys?

[Hester]

YUP, $2500 In a BPS gift card.

Congrats! You can have some fun with that I'm sure.
