Elite will be here soon!! Who is your picks?

[rnorman35]

Bassmaster Elites will start pouring into the Jackson area this weekend to began practice and derby starts on Thursday, April 27.

My picks to win are Jason Christie, Randal Tharp, or Jacob Wheeler.

Winning pattern will be buzzbait, lizards, and a jig.

It has been a long time since the Elite's have been to the Rez. We might as well enjoy it.

Oh and it will take an average of 18 pounds a day to make it to Sunday.

Looking forward to it. Hope I get some good draws. Don't know that I want to be in the boat with Iaconelli!

[rnorman35]

I almost signed up Dave but I couldn't make myself ride through some of those stump field with those guys.

[dirtmonkey]

Hackney

[hatcreek]

Would like to see Browning win it.


Think Herren & Kennedy will do well.

[Z520C]

Ott Defoe would be near the top I would think

[bass_prodigy75]

I filled out a fantasy fishing team and I still havent decided on Hackney or Christie (cant pick both), but did pick Lowen, Rojas, Skeet, Clent Davis, Picked 72 lbs to win

I'd love to draw out with Ike, at least it will be interesting and I have a good shot of learning something. I may choke him by the end of the day, though. My biggest fear is that I'm going to draw out with 2 rookies that zero each day and finish at the bottom and I'm gonna get nothing out of it.

I don't know why, but I really have a strong feeling about Randall Tharp winning this one. And don't forget Mike McClelland has won on Barnett before, but I believe that was a fall tourney.

I picked Christie, browning, j pow, mcClelland, and roumbanis. May change boom boom to biffle

Going to go out on a limb and say nobody will average 18 pounds a day for the tournament. They better pray the weather cooperates. If they get high pressure sunny days with wind it will be as tough on them as it is anyone. Some will figure them out but there will be plenty who struggle. With the right weather I'm saying it could take as much as 13 a day to make the cut and as little as 9 a day if it is tough. Just remember the BFL a couple of weeks ago and that was during a better time of the year. It had some very good sticks in it.

[Big Bass Man]

McClelland, Ott Defoe or Edwin Evers.

[Kittycat2012]

Christie, Hackney, Tharp, Wiggins

[colreb2000]

The Lane brothers might make some noise.

[dwoodfin]

Thats true...but that was after a 15 degree drop in water temp that week also. I'm going with about a 17 1/2 average for the tourney to win.

Attention we have a new guy on the board^^^

[bass_prodigy75]

Im guessing that someone isnt going to catch 18 all 4 days, but have one really good day with 22-23 lbs and then couple 15-16 lb days and have something around 19-20 on the final day. I'd really like to get paired with someone doing something off the wall like drop shotting largemouth and spotted bass in +25' of water in front of the spill way..

You could have agreed with me on 18 pounds rather than 17.5.
