Elite Series Stop #1

[bassfshin24]

Looking forward to the first Elite series event on the St. Johns river. There should be some giant bags brought in. Last time the Elites were there in 2014 Chris Lane brought in a 37lbs bag. Probably going to be a lot of sight fishing. I still can't decide who I am going to pick.

I've changed my roster twice so far!

 

[Hester]

Going to be wide open for this one. Bucket e will make or break you.

Got my team set up.  This should be a fun tournament!

[rascal23]

Cloudy and rain in the forcast.  Maybe have an affect on the sight fishers?

[M1dwestF1sh]

C'mon A-Mart!

[bassfshin24]

With the way this tournament and place fishes boat position on take off has to be key. I am amazed to see some of the guys at the bottom. I am sure some of the basstraks aren't working. I would really like to see Bill Lowen finally get a win. That dude deserves it.

Man did I have a rough day 1 of Fantasy Fishing but with those 8 and 9lbs hawgs being brought in, it's anyone's game!

A and B are killing me.

big show is carrying my team

[rascal23]

Crazy big swings. Could still be anybody.

[RuddyDuck]

Looks like the Godfather of Bass came out on top this time.

Very cool to see an old timer grab a win!

[bassfshin24]

Yeah that was pretty awesome. I'm also a big Hackney fan so I was kind of pulling for him too. I would have had a really good fantasy lineup if not for bucket E. 

Hackney - 2nd

Faircloth - 32nd

Scroggins - 7th

Tharp - 12th

Lefebre - 96th---ouch

I don't follow tournaments very closely, but pretty dang cool to see Clunn win this one. Had a chance to meet him a few times at ICAST, and he was just a super nice, down to earth guy. At that time at least, the BASS guys all had the years they'd qualified for the Classic embroidered on their sleeves. Some guys had a couple row's worth of years, others a bit more. Clunn's went from his shoulder to his wrist. Kind of hard to take your eyes off it. Pretty neat to see him dedicate the win to Ken Cook too.

I had Benton, Tharp, and Scroggins who all did quite well, but my gut decision to go with Bobby Lane kept me from what could have been a really good result.

[M1dwestF1sh]

Aaron Martens and Faircloth hurt me, Im gonna go out on a limb and say nobody had picked the winner...

[rascal23]

Amazing to see guys like Clunn and Elias still going through the rigors of the trail. I remember them in their early days when I was just starting to get bit by the bass bug. Shaw and Gary Klein as well. They deserve alot of credit.

Funny how last minute changes can kick you in the butt. Switched from Drew B. to Chad G. with hours to go. Thought experience would trump local knowledge this time. Guess not.    Big Hack fan as well.  Hoping he does good this next time .

[bassfshin24]

I think Hack is going to feel right at home with the next tourney. I've never heard of the place the next Elite tourney is at but from what I have read it sounds like it's very similar to the Louisiana Delta area. Very swampy and a lot of backwaters. This should fit well with Hackneys style of fishing.
