I thought the Stripers ate all the Bass in Cumberland, that is what the hardcore Bass guy's have alway's said.

Yep that's what a lot of them say. I love bass fishing, but i know better then to think the stripers have hurt the bass fishing. Of course i also love a good topwater night time striper bite too.

Water level up 3 feet since yesterday - gonna get trashy

Yep they're bringing her up & it was trashy this morning with some very big floaters in lost of places.

It took 4.5 lbs per day (18 for 4 days) to cash a check. 50th place will be slightly north of 20 lbs.

That's 2 days, not 4. They cut it down after the first 2 days.

This will be very close. 15 lbs a day for the winner if conditions are on a warm trend. Weather will be a huge factor. It's suppose to be in the 60's all next week. If that weather patterns holds for the next 2-3 weeks it could be excellent fishing. If we get another arctic blast the entire first week week of April, weights will be cut in half for the majority of the field. 40-44 lbs will win if cold front holds all week.

Scott Martin had a four day total of 60 lbs 1 oz...that's about as close to 15 lbs a day average as you can get. I made my weight prediction 3 weeks before the tournament started. Only thing that suprised me was no one out of a 160 boat field had a 20 lb bag. Other than that it went just like I thought it would. Congrats to Scott Martin

Some of you were very close. Others, not so much

Actually you said 40-44 would win in a cold front. We had a massive cold front

[JR19]

First two days were cold...last two were warm so I guess you can take my 40-44 cold and 60 warm and average them together and get 50 something

Was a good event- the boys and I walked down to the ramp yesterday prior to weigh in and saw Martin Yamamoto Fukui etc point blank taking their fish out to be weighed- was pretty neat. Also this has been about the best gradual rise in the lake that I've seen- in fact lake was in great shape for the tourney relatively speaking

I didnt get to watch any of the live coverage, what were the dominant baits/patterns

From the little bit I got to watch, I saw a lot of jerkbaits, spinnerbaits and drop shots. Occasionally you'd see pitching a jig but not a lot. I didn't get to see much either so maybe somebody with more knowledge can chime in..

Here is his 3 day practice video. It is long and entertaining but I like how he shows the use of Google to break down a lake. Plus girl Scouts in KY pack the heat

Pink spinnerbaits. Spro McSticks. Co-Angler won using vision 110.

Any update on the lake conditions? How are the fishing doing?
