Fantasy Bust

My squad laid a giant egg for the classic. I had really high hopes heading into the tournament but it's clear I need to do better research. Oh well, onward and upward!

Fantasy Team Results Day 1

I'm not exactly in the drivers seat after Day 1 with my fantasy selections.  It never fails, there are always about 3-5 other anglers that I felt like I knew I shoulda picked in the top 10.  Of course hindsight is always 20/20 right?


David Walker- 4th place, 16-8
Edwin Evers- 8th place, 16-3
Andrew Upshaw- 19th place, 12-8
Steve Kennedy- 21st place, 11-15
Jared Lintner- 42nd place, 6-8

Clearly picking Tackle Warehouse Pro, Jared Lintner, was my biggest mistake.  I don't recall who else was in his group to pick from but I think Vinson and Poche both were.  Man if only........
Overall I rank 1797 with 1212 points after day 1.  The only group I'm inside the Top 50 in is the Wired2Fish group.  Who knows, maybe my Day 2 will be better.

Also, I know I said it before but seriously, I cannot believe how many technical difficulties the bassmaster.com website is having this weekend.  I had thought maybe it was user error on my part but as I scrolled through many of the comments on the site (when it was actually working) it wasn't/isn't just me.  Bad on you BASS.

Hack Attacks Big Gamble

So on a recent Bass Talk Live show (1/17/12 I think) they had Greg Hackney on to talk about the classic. In that interview he said that "the classic is going to be won fishing close to the launch. The fishing is too good close to make a long run. Unless something changes anyone making a long run won't be in contention".

Well I remember thinking to myself that maybe just maybe Hack was sandbagging and that when the classic finally got underway we would see him make a long run. He's kind of a joker personality so you juste never know when he's serious or joking. Well anyway it seems that he has in fact made a long run. According to the liveBlog he hasn't even wet a line as of 10:23am. I sure hope whatever he is doing pays off for him. It seems like a huge risk. I just wonder if he isn't over thinking it. Having only an hour to try and catch a limit seems tough. I know it's feasible for a pro like him to do it but when you are fishing against KVD and gang who are putting in a full day actually fishing versus driving......I don't know, seems like a tall order.

Well just see what happens at the weigh in.

UPDATE: well it would appear that his bet paid off. Hack weighed in a very respectable 13-15 on day one. It's still very early in the weigh in but it's looking like he'll be inside the top 15 with that bag.

Bassmaster Classic Website Issues

I cannot believe the number of page loading issues the Bassmaster.com website is having today. It's day one of the classic!!! All we here about is how they want to grow the sport, well I've got an easy suggestion; for the Super Bowl of Bass fishing you might want to ensure people can access and consume your content. The fact that you can't consistently access the live blog is an epic failure.
