Elites at Grand....what's going to be the deal?

[Jesse-C]

Setting my fantasy lineup and just seeing what the locals think the winning pattern will be? Sight fishing? Shallow cranking or spinnerbait? Just looking to set a good lineup and beat the few guys in my pool.

Yep I would not count out any technique.

I don’t think many of the elites are on any fish. I follow a good number of them on Facebook and they are always posting videos during practice saying how things are going and this week I haven’t seen hardly any videos!

Does anyone know if they are spawning there yet?

They should be starting literally any minute now. They could not have hit at a better time.

Rookie Kyle Monti of Okeechobee, Fla., has jumped to the top of the leaderboard with a limit weighing 17 pounds, 15 ounces, according to BASSTrakk. His five bass include three 4-pounders, and he's got a 1 1/2-pounder to cull that would put him in the 20-pound range.

The fact that he's done this in basically the first hour of the tournament is an example of what was hinted at Wednesday by several anglers: This could be the week that Grand Lake breaks out of its extended winter doldrums. More than one pro predicted it would take 20-pounds-plus per day to win this event. Monti has already proven that wasn't idle talk.
