Kyle Rasmussen
Joe Bruce
John Chiarpotti
Aaron Cole
Alex Niapas

Here is the top five, no clue on the rest! This is in no particular order because it is just a qualifier. Although if I had to put it in order it would be:

Kyle Rasmussen
Aaron Cole
John Chiarpotti
Joe Bruce

Rainbow Trout......

RMARX

Ruthman - Are you ever happy with anything?

Maybe you are confused it is ABA at McClure, not the FPT......

RMARX

NICE!

RMARX

Spots put largemouth to shame when it comes to fighting, and when you get into the oversized fish from six to ?? they will drag your boat around on swimbait tackle with a locked drag and on light line they will wear you out if you can get them off the bottom! Yes I have seen bigger than 9.30 at McCl...

RMARX

Very nice looking bait! But it is over-kill fish are not that smart! This is made to catch fisherman, though there is no doubt it will get bit, but so will a 6.99 original Optimum or a 25.00 Huddleston, you really do not need anything else...well maybe a wood punker!

You mean 8" Trout colored punker right? Not an 8" trout!!

RMARX

Just so everyone knows it was a three fish, no slot exemption 15" or better dink fest!! We had 6.41 and someone culled one of our big fish by mistake :oops: or we would have had seven pounds!! :shock: The swimbait bite sucks at McClure this year...it was a fun tourney though as usual, sad to ju...

RMARX

It seems like I always hear "it's as good as a Loomis" so that should tell you something....But I agree with Mike go check them all out and make a decision, problem is checking them out in the store is not equal to checking them out on the water. I would try to borrow one from a friend and...

RMARX

I have to agree with the M.S. Slammer, they are better baits all the way around than the A.C. Minnow, I have caught many giant spots on both and several times the A.C. Minnow after hook up has completely come apart and you lose the fish and end up with half of a bait, or just the front eye. Also if ...

RMARX

Long you forgot the other option: The fact they were dropshot spoon fish!!

RMARX

Take all the stuff you have "learned" to catch small fish and throw it out the window! I agree with milehi photo-period means way more than temp.....

RMARX

I posted pictures of the Mega Trophies in the photo section. Thanks Robert and Jamie another job well done! Now we need to have a "Weenie Bait fairy fest" event to make Pierson happy!! :shock: :lol: I have to say this is the first time I have had to lash trophies down to the deck of the bo...

RMARX

Depending on how this weekend goes you may be right....

RMARX

Being an observer sounds like fun! I have to check my calander!

RMARX

Those are some big drop shot fish!

RMARX

No kidding! Actually I need to go to Melones!! Pedro SUCKS TOO!
I am a glutton for punishment, so I will keep beating the hell out of McClure, there is one fish I am after...

RMARX

Thats just wrong Ed!!

RMARX

This is going to be a very challenging event, worm draggers vs. big bait guys! Nico / Rob - I better not see any 6" worms in your boat! It should be fun trying to threepeat on this lake!! I heard the trophies are even BIGGER this year!!!

RMARX

I am thinking 50 whats the bet?

RMARX

We have to work on the name! BIG BAIT SLUGFEST and 6" worms is just wrong! I guess since it is at McClure it will force some guys to go up two sizes of worm to 6" and maybe even 8 lb test!

RMARX

Ruthman you actually believe the weather monkey's!! You do not need to "pre-fish" Just fish! The only difference on Saturday at McClure is the size of the fish!

I think that may change this weekend though I got some really cool 1.5" reapers to try......

RMARX

The best thing about it are the big livewells......

RMARX

Bryan -

I have a Champion, pre-fishing has not been an issue!!

Robert

RMARX

No worms right?

RMARX

Jeremy - Don't you have some baits to paint!!

RMARX

There are already baits that fall like a senko and very large bass love them, but it is up to you to find them!!

Some of us have been using them for ten years or more...

RMARX

12/21/2012 - End of the Mayan calander = end of the world :roll: On a side note there will be some great deals on craig list and EBAY after this event!! :shock: Guy - I do not know you, and I do not fish the California Toilet, but it does sound like you are grinding an axe, why else would you post s...

RMARX

I could have used one of those last weekend!! NICE!!

RMARX

Escalon Bait & Tackle has Keeper worms 209-838-6722

RMARX

When you lived on Dillingham that big damn fat orange cat that used to jump into my box chasing feathers as I was picking geese and he ended up going with my mom and dad around the corner! Enough yet?

RMARX

Ed first, congratulations on the win! I am off on Wednesday's, already booked this week, let me know when you want to go! I can not for the life of me / us (Bryan) stand dragging worms in 80 feet of water, it is not that I can't I just won't!! I guess I need to do what most guys try with big baits a...

RMARX

Ok - I have to ask Willie! Do you weigh your Wednesday fish or just look at them and throw them back! You know that air that blows those 1.7 pounders up when you crank them up from 70 feet and makes them look like 2+ does not actually weigh anything!! :shock: :D My experience at McClure is 20+ mid-w...

RMARX

There are some good fisherman in the FPT and Sometimes a little too good..... Doh!!! :shock: You think! Ruthman don't you have some rods to stock at the Baitbarn! :roll: :lol: We know how you feel!! :D I have never been allowed to fish either circuit, and would not even if I could!! ( I have a Consc...

RMARX

+100 Roscoe for sure!

RMARX

While I do not endorse or approve of "rookie" circuits, as a seasoned team tournament angler from the motherlode I would hands down say Anglers Choice because of one man - Danny Peluso! Danny keeps it fair and he has a passion for bass fishing and helping beginners like no other. Some guuy...

RMARX

Bryan and I are in for this one.

RMARX

3/4 oz lead egg sinker 35' and less 1 oz lead egg sinker over 40' always with two faceted glass beads, a high quality swivel and 20 pound Seguar main line and anywhere from 8 - 20 pound leader that is 10 - 30 inches. Both leader size and length depend on water clarity, and how activly the fish are h...

RMARX

Do people still use dial up.....

RMARX

Actually Bryan and I might fish these....

RMARX

mr.bass91 - Welcome to tournament fishing!

Dont even think about it!!!

You know what I mean!

RMARX

drop shotting a swimbait

This does not work unless you do it right in the middle of a tree in 300 feet of water...

Everything gets out eventually!

RMARX

Yeah go with the Future Pro they are WAY more honest than the other circuits!

All I can say is before you pick one of the "rookie" circuits do your homework and your decision will be an easy one!

RMARX

I guess now you guys can step it up to the "Pro-Team" circuits!

Congratulations on the win!!

RMARX

I knew it was just a matter of time!! Bassrman if you only knew!! Kyle is an awesome fisherman and the "big guns" should be glad he stay's local at team events, because if he chose to fish ANY of the pro-am circuits he would blow people away!! He is a machine and prepares for every event l...

Phil - I beleive it is still Gary Watts.
