The open montage of the MFL is great. Sort of an updates American Gladiator type intro.
Very excited about the line up in this round; #3 Mike Iaconelli, #10 Tommy Biffle, #7 Denny Brauer, #12 Edwin Evers, #27 Todd Faircloth, #6 Shaw Grigsby, #21 Alton Jones, #9 Takahiro Omori.....wowzers. That's a heavy hitting line up. You've got what, 3 classic winners in this group?!
Marty just said that if it weren't for KVD ("skinny kid from Michigan") the world would really know how good Evers is....hmm...I think people do know how good he is. But if you want to be considered the best you gotta beat the best.
My picks for the 4 that advance- Ike, Evers, Jones and Faircloth. Evers goes #1 overall this round.
Evers starting shallow in the back of a creek on Amistad. That is always my first instinct as well, go shallow to start.
Grigsby starting shallow as well. With a spinnerbait no less.
Haha the farting Sasquatch cracks me up every time. That 10 second clip is almost worth the $18 by itself. But then I am a big kid.
Ike, always a sales man. He's pimping the MLF format. I love ya Ike, I paid the cash. Fish on!!
Biffle tossing a frog to start. Throwing up "shallah" or shallow for those of us up north.
Ike says "starting in an area I've fished before, have some familiarity with", this goes to my point before, I wish they would have gone somewhere other than Amistad.
Evers on the board first. Nice! 2.25 pounds. Laughs that he caught the first fish of the day wonders if that is a good thing. KVD struck first in round 1 and made the cut. We will see if that pattern holds with E2.
Is Ike the only angler fishing out of a Bass Cat?
With 2 hours of coverage, I can't believe we don't see every fish catch for each angler.
Ike finally gets on the board. Says he had one follow and gives a lecture on the importance of throwing back quickly.
Fishing jerseys are sweet. I want one.
Biffle keeps missing fish. He's fishing very shallow area. Just missed a four pounder.
How do I convey the signature high pitched voice Grigsby uses when he has a fish on?! Classic.
Ike goes with his patent "it's a big one, it's a big one" only to swing in a 2 pounder. Also classic.
Faircloth with a blank so far. Ruh roh.
Grigsby fishing windy points, mainly on the back side or into the wind. Likes that it creates current.
There is a ton of mutual respect between all the anglers.
Whoa and Biffle lands a game changer, 6 pounder. Guess I shoulda picked him.
Sheli=good. Lurch=creepy.
At the 1st break apparently Faircloth goes from zero fish to 4th place. Um.....I thought we had a real time scoreboard? His scoring pad must have been broken.
Faircloth is fishing a drop shot in submerged trees. 20-25 feet of water.
Biffle giving the guys a head fake, went to a new area to start the 2nd.....and he smokes a 3+......on a Biffle Bug.....how fitting.
Brauer is struggling but choose to stay with a flipping presentation.
Two shows, both had guys catching fish in flurries. 3, 4, 5 fish in 15 minutes. Unreal.
Boom goes the dynamite. Brauer lands a 3 and moves into 4th. Bugger!
Very slow period 2.....fast forward.
The Nitro Z-7 is a way better looking boat than the Bass Cat.
Cool, Biffle took the legs off a Biffle big and put it at the top of a senko. Genius.
These guys keep cranking even when it's slow. My head would have had me drop shotting. They are so talented.
Alton mastering a "twitch bait"; shallow running jerk bait I think.
I like Ike but he was too much for even me this time around. Yelling is okay, flopping around in the boat and into the officials lap? Come on Ike. He is dominating though.
Faircloth makes an interesting point, when you are on a water as big as Amistad it makes sense for a guy to throw at what he can see, I.e. visible cover and structure.
Biffle is bailing.... And eliminated. Epic fail.
Hahaha Alton says in response to Ike screaming; "that boy is squealing, someone put wd40 on that boy"
I was close on my guesses, sort of. Ike, Faircloth and Jones made it. Evers bombed.
I look forward to the next round.
