Any predictions? Looks like it is going to be the heavy part of the shad/herring spawn. With the way the weather is shaping up, cloudy and rainy the first 2 days, sunny Sat and Sunday, I think totally different patterns will be prevalent. If the FFS guys can make it through to the cut, they will be in good shape. The Hackneys of the world better catch them big the first 2 days, the spawn dies early on those sunny days! My pick would be someone who does both well like Hamner.

Maybe gman finally breaks through

I still have no idea how he hasnt won one. I know he is not in his prime anymore, but there are a lot of guys who have won one that comparatively were not in his ballpark. That would be pretty funny if he won with the last few weeks he has had.

No predictions from me... I'm ranked 20,425 in BASS Fantasy Fishing... I picked mostly local guys... Dan

That is not good, Dan. Maybe you can invent a front looker for Fantasy picks.

He needs to figure out how to make a cut at this point.

Ok, WAWI, you ray of constant sunshine, how do you see this one playing out?

There are guys on another forum that are really pulling for him.

Not WAWI....

Strugglebus, those of use on the spectrum deserve to be taught during the school day, what are you doing on TFF during the school day again? Are you sure you’re a teacher?

Gman will be lucky to cut a little $2500 check. His comedy routine is played out also, tries way too hard.

Isn't there a MN fishing forum you can contribute too ???

Which part of my comment did you not like?

Which part of the spectrum are you on?

Brandon Cobb or Steve Kenedy

I’m impressed he’s been on here 6 months and has 500 more post than I have in 19 years! 🤔

needs a life

You’ll have to ask the special es teacher who spends his days on here, his name is short bus, I mean struggle bus.

Nothing totally on this thread but it’s a massive layering effect. You try way too hard man. It may be the long MN winters. Maybe move south so you fish more and not type as much.

Day 1 postponed due to weather.

Hanselman is unofficially in 2nd.

Millikan in 92nd

He has done better this year, hope he keeps it up. Too bad BASS doesnt fish South Texas anymore, He would Livesay Amistad. All the water dissapeared at a bad time for Ray.

Milliken in 16th now for all you haters out there.

his bass track is never worth paying attention to, he barely updates it

He also seems to drop to many f bombs to be on live

Looks like this is gonna be a tight one as Top 10 all within 2lbs right now

Ben and Ray neck and neck, tied at 9th unofficially!

Sandbaggin' fools

True... they are all fibbin.

Wait until they reach into those crush city weigh in bags to show off their hydrilla gorillas!

I think you must have got him mixed up with Hackney, who is in 98th. Milleydouch is 10th.

Patrick Walters 1st
Lee Livesay 2nd

Ray Hanselman 9th

It's early but Swindle has climbed up to bubble boy status. As of 7 a.m.. CST he's 50th.

Ike is 5th.....

You’ve been on this forum longer than the leader of the tournament has been on this planet.

He's dropped below the cut line, but on the postive side he is now 2 spots ahead of Milli-Vanilli.

McKinney currently in 4th, Swindle currently working the boat yard tomorrow

hope the kid did not blow any no woke zones

Swindle will be flying a drone tomorrow watching the kid.

Milliken really blew it today. Bummer. I was rooting for him.

At least Swindle was consistent, he was 80th after yesterday and 80th after today.

Holy smokes he is also 97th in AOY.

No wonder why he is trolling for clicks.

Walters still in 1st with 45-5

Hey, I’ll take that! 😎

Next two tourneys are in Bama, he may have a revival.

Come on Ike.

Never give up….

Miliken showing he might be better off sticking to YouTube and Texas lakes. I know he’s still top 50 for AOY but goodness. I’ll be the first to admit I overrated his ability to be diverse.

Walters in the lead with 67-3

It is his to lose. Thompkins and McKinney are on some good fish too. Will be an interesting Monday.

There has to be a story. How does a guy like that only have 2 small fish for an entire day?

There isn't a fisherman alive who doesn't have bad days.

This video is great. Livesey's reaction is hysterical.

It would appear that the guys who were starting the "greatest of all time" chatter have gone silent. I have always been against claiming GOAT with only a small sample size. The guy is human just like everybody else. He will have his good tournaments and his bad, and we are seeing he is no different that anybody else. Mother nature is smarter than any human alive.

Tournament fishing has a way of humbling even the greatest.
More than one who made the top 50 cut didn't catch a limit there last day--- including the GOAT himself Rick Clunn.

I wonder if that is because they are swinging for the fences? Checkers or wreckers. etc...

Walters wins with 93-15.......

https://www.bassmaster.com/elite/news/walters-wins-in-dominating-fashion/

He smoked em.
Also to say again how humbling tournament fishing can be------Mosley makes the top 10 and only boats three fish today.

The sun on that last day killed Mosley. He needed shade for that square bill bite he was on.

I tuned in without context to the Live feed on Saturday morning and was surprised to see Lee Livesay just standing around with his rod across his shoulders. I had no clue there was a place and time (other than site fishing) where it is detrimental to the technique to have a lure in the water.

That was an interesting and diverse mix of fishing. Power-Poles down on main lake pointing toward the end of the point and just waiting for fish to come to you and fire up!

Yes, fishing has changed quite a bit.....always taught to keep your lure in the water to catch em'......

Seen it on most any lake where schooling fish are prevalent and there tuned into a certain bait.
If you don't get a bait right on top of the blowup you're wasting your time.
