    Quiet day 4

    No day 4 post? Everyone just accepted Welcher winning and nobody cares who gets 2nd?

    this tournament is probably one of the more interesting that I have followed since being able to follow tournaments in real time…. It’s mind blowing that he’s going to win with a 45+ lead over second!!


    his pattern strongly reminds me of when KVD won the classic here at lake Cat… everyone ran off far and he won 15 minutes from the launch…. But it was a perfect storm as he was in the right place at the right time when the big fish moved up….

    That’s funny!! Not going to lie, I went and dug in my shed looking for some… I know I bought some back when crush city first came out…. I hated the bronco bug, the way it acts in the water is just weird…. But I love the cleanup craw.. I found 2 packs of bronco bugs and I’ll try to throw them a little more…

    I think you may be right. I think it's interesting how so many anglers just stick with traditional fishing and don't embrace FFS. The number of big name pros who just continue to burn down bank and throw a spinnerbait or chatterbait...its like they refuse to change. They either know their time is up or they know BASS will make a change (i believe it is more so the latter)

    It’s modern technology, either get on board or get out of the way because it’s only going to get better

    To put Welcher's margin of victory of 45lb 7oz into perspective...if someone just had his margin of victory number they would have finished 16 place overall. If you had his total weight of his best two days (day 1 , day 3) it would be enough weight to finish 10th place. I don't ever recall such a dominating performance on the Elite level anywhere close to the numbers he put up. The best part is he is a good guy that doesn't play in the grey. Congratulations to Kyle Welcher
