Well, all I can say is it is nice to have true bass recorded on DVR. The sad part is all of the areas they fished I recognized and have fished myself, but never have I gotem like they have there. Seems like I still have alot to learn. :?

Re: Pick a WINNER and WEIGHT

I hate to say it but my prediction is that it will be sapp, reese, and possibly stafford or thompson (if hes in it) in the top. On coangler side I will go with desmangles. He is always there in the , money. But who knows, maybe Roland or Barrack or Lee on the pro side.
