2017 Bassmaster Fantasy Fishing

[bassfshin24]

Combs

Herren

Lee

Ehrler

Jones JR

 

I would love to see Hackney or Todd Faircloth win it though. Always been a huge fan of those two

 

[rascal23]

Hack

Herren

Lee

Williamson

Jones

[thatoneguy]

Decided to blow my lineup up at the last minute.

 

Combs

Powroznik

Defoe

Kennedy

Jones Jr.

 

I am gonna kick myself if the guys I took out do well. I just can't bet against Defoe, the hottest stick going lately.

[thatoneguy]

Welp, Combs sucked today.

[rascal23]

thatoneguy,   looks like your lineup change paid off.  Maybe you should do that every tourny .

[Musky hunter 82]

Man Jordan Lee had a huge bag today to win it.  Good for him wish he was on my team though.

[bassfshin24]

Man I wish my other picks would have panned out. I had both Ehrler and Lee. 

[Musky hunter 82]

Yeah my team didn't do good outside of Ike, none of them were in the top 25.

[thatoneguy]

I'm in 100th place overall after three events. I always suck making picks on Toledo Bend though

[bassfshin24]

I wonder what T-Bend is going to be like. Im feeling like it could be a tough post spawn bite. KVD always does well on T-Bend though so I think Ill at least pick him haha. 

[thatoneguy]

KVD is a hammer on Toledo. He is the only one I have slotted in for sure. A lot of really good sticks struggle on Toledo. I imagine 30+ percent of people will pick Hackney, but he really doesn't have a stellar track record there. This will be an interesting one. IIRC, many of their past stops at TB have been later in the year, like second week of May. A lot will depend on when the fish there spawn. Could be a tough transition bite, or it could be a freakin' amazing postspawn smashfest.

[Musky hunter 82]

I think that Lee is going to keep the momentum going and he proved that he can catch fish when others struggle.  It also seemed like he was more open minded to fish where the fish are and not stick with one pattern that seemed to fizzle out for some of the other guys. 

[bassfshin24]

This is what I have so far and I think I'll be changing

A. Hackney

B. KVD

C. Ehrler

D. Howell

E. Lucas

 

I don't feel confidence about any of them except KVD haha

Well I already made a switched and put Dafoe in bucket A for Hackney.

[Musky hunter 82]

Here's what I have so far and probably will change it up also,

A. Wheeler

B. Rojas

C. Ehrler

D. Powroznik

E. Zaldain

 

Man it would be so much easier if there were only 2 guys you had to pick from in each bucket, then I'd have a chance.

[thatoneguy]

Rojas is a good pick. He has won twice on TB and has some other good finishes. I actually considered him before slotting KVD.

[Musky hunter 82]

Well totally changed up my lineup, It seems that Faircloth has always done really good on this body of water. 

A: Montgomery

B: Faircloth

C: Kennedy

D: Palaniuk

E: Jordon

 

[thatoneguy]

I thought I would probably make lots of adjustments after I first set my lineup, but I haven't. Of course I totally blew up my lineup the day before the Classic, so there is still time. I'm going with:

 

Bobby Lane
KVD
Kennedy
Powroznik
Roumbanis

[Musky hunter 82]

I keep going back to bucket B there are so many good names in there that either have won a Toledo or have consistently been in the top 10.  Still hoping that Montgomery will come through with a top 10

[bassfshin24]

I think I am going to stick with who I have

A. Dafoe

B. KVD

C. Ehrler

D. Howell

E. Lucas

[thatoneguy]

It is really really really hard to not have Defoe on the team. He is red hot and can sack em up on any type of lake. That's the once change I might make, but Lane is really well suited to this type of fishing, too, and has a solid record on this lake.

[thatoneguy]

Early returns show that I shoulda gone with Ott. Lotta time left though

[Musky hunter 82]

I changed up my guys a little ended up going with these;

Defoe

Faircloth

Kennedy

Palaniuk

Zaldain

 

Have to see how they do, no changing it now.

[Musky hunter 82]

Wow I have 4 in the top 20 right now, keep it up boys.  Sounds like sight fishing is going to play more today with less wind predicted.

[rascal23]

How bout that Feider guy!   So far, so good this year.  You think he knows that the AOY is at Mille Lacs this year?

[thatoneguy]

Toledo Bend always sucks for me. Next time they go there I am going to just roll my face around on the keyboard and whoever I pick, I pick. I dropped from the top 100 down to 592. Ugh.
