It changed since you posted it, Dodge-Aaron Martins has the lead. Shoot, I could do as good as some of these guys-I'm good at weighing in no fish . On a serious note, it just goes to show you how tough these river fisheries can be. Since ESPN bought BASS there sure is more and better coverage than ever in the past.

This classic might set a new record for lowest winning weight, this just goes to show how good some of these guys are in what is for sure an extremely difficult tournament.

I was in a local tournie for the federation once that only 26 weighed in fish out of 280...it rained for 2 days straight

I'm glad you took care of this for me today. They kept me an extra 5 hours rehersing for the Super Six tomorrow. We were having an issue with lighting and the foggers they're going to be using.

Again, thanks for doing this for me since I have no time. My call for tomorrow was just changed to start 3 hours earlier and I need to head to bed.



This is what it looks like from where I'm sitting in the spot tower, stage right (that's opposite the aquarium).





This is me zoomed all the way in on Rick Clunn being weighted in on Day 2.

nice pics............ wish I was there

Dude, I think you've posted the "wrong" classic. At this point none of the anglers have yet to reach 10lbs. in overall wieght in both days combined.

[Dyas]

I think its the results from the 2003 classic.........

[lockjaw]

I missed Day 1 and I was looking forward to watching Day 2 all day today. I watched about ten minutes of it then fell asleep on an add and didn't wake up till it was over. I was very dissapointed. And Rick Clunn named Greatest Angler didn't even advance. That was a shock. And what about the Brauers? Did they not qualify this year?

Well guys. I feel that our rivers here aren't going to give up anything heavier than a 2-lber. Went down to the festivities today. Waited 2hrs in the hot sun for a good seat. Felt bad for all the guys who didn't even make it onto the board. Got a few auto's on my hat so I am happy. Will try to get more tomorrow. I wish the classic would come back here someday but I guess a lot of the fishermen want a better place to fish. Seeing all these guys and hearing their stories is really great. Even though the fish are small it's still tense watching the guys pull up and weigh their fish. This thing is so close if anyone just happens to pull in a 4 or 5 lber. with a few others he's got it. I think it will be between Ike, KVD and Martens tomorrow. All of the Masters have been really nice. I will have to attend another one some day.

WOW just got updated some on this board. Guess I'm not the only one having my problems on the River LMAO Sorry I'vee been fishing, and out of town, so I haven't seen or heard any of this. I can say this. If the guys who win these tourneys at a local level were FORCED to fish in some of the southern places, they would be albe to compete easily. IMO the folks who can successfully compete in a tourney trail where they are fishing these kinds of waters regularly, can compete anywhere. They are definately giving me my smile back. I know I just zeroed in 2 consecutive tourneys on the Ohio River as a non-boater, and only one day did my boater catch a fish to weigh-in, and it was 13" and dead because of being fouled hooked. Why not have it return to a tough spot. I think it's a heck of a lot more fun to watch these guys fish some of the tougher waters, where they must find fish in several spots. The rivers up north usually offer little as for vegetation, there is some, but nothing like down south. The water levels are raised and lowered. So the weather doesn't have to effect the rising or falling of the water level. I am wondering if they planned to have the water rising during the tourney or not, does anyone know? Obviously it would be better to be fishng a rising water level than a falling one.
