MLF on Falls, Jordan, Harris April 9-14

[Bassman13]

Does anyone know what days the Heavy Hitters will be on which lake?

[Mikey N.C.]

I've been looking to???

[dk239]

Rumor has it they won't be fishing Harris!

[Basswipe]

I mean any of those three lakes can be considered a "heavy hitter" lake. But those three lakes set up for an MLF event perfectly. But if I remember correctly two years ago it was Jordan= 2 days, Falls=3 days, Harris=1 day. That's off memory.

By “heavy hitter” I think he means they people.

Sometime before the event they will post the schedule for practice and the rounds. That should tell you who will be where.

To qualify for General Tire Heavy Hitters in 2021, the weight of an angler’s single largest bass from each event of the 2020 Bass Pro Tour was recorded. The 40 anglers with the heaviest big-fish totals from those five events qualified for Heavy Hitters in Raleigh, North Carolina (April 9-14).

1 Jordan Lee 2 Adrian Avena 3 Andy Morgan 4 Takahiro Omori 5 Ott DeFoe 6 Mark Rose 7 Michael Neal 8 Brent Ehrler 9 Bryan Thrift 10 Fletcher Shryock 11 Randall Tharp 12 Dustin Connell 13 Dave Lefebre 14 Britt Myers 15 Anthony Gagliardi 16 Josh Bertrand 17 Justin Lucas 18 David Dudley 19 Jeff Sprague 20 Mark Daniels Jr 21 Brandon Coulter 22 Mike McClelland 23 Brent Chapman 24 Kevin VanDam 25 Mark Davis 26 Fred Roumbanis 27 Chris Lane 28 James Elam 29 Alton Jones 30 Zack Birge 31 Ish Monroe 32 Bradley Roy 33 Cliff Pace 34 Luke Clausen 35 Mike Iaconelli 36 Jacob Wheeler 37 Stephen Browning 38 Dean Rojas 39 Boyd Duckett 40 Cody Meyer

Yep, it's about the bass. They had a Heavy Hitters tournament last year also. It would be held on lakes that posses large fish to make it interesting. Jordan Lee lost 50K by one ounce in the last 45 mins of the day last year.

The interesting thing is the press release mentions all three lakes but if you look at their website schedule, it only mentions Falls.

[bbbill]

A close friend is an MLF principal. Executive committee and Angler Reps wi make decision very close to arrival date.

[Basswipe]

Yep, and that link is not active so it could just be a shell webpage set up for the tournament.

Any idea where they launch on Falls? Thanks

They may prevent entry into the ramp. They did in 2019 at Jordan and it was a public ramp. They didn't want spectators be there when they launched. Could be different this year since its a smaller field.

Yep, they used Barton Creek in 2019 and there were wardens and LEO's everywhere from the highway to the parking lot navigating traffic.

Wonder what the Groups List are ??

The group list is on their website.

[dwmgg17]

Was wondering my self how they will split them up. Maybe all the odd numbers will fish and then all the even number will be group b???

[95champ202]

Are both groups not fishing jordan and falls or is this a misprint
