I get the impression that a lot of you have not heard the statement "90% of the fish are in 10% of the water". Case in point, ALL the top 3 finishing anglers did not Milk run the tourny. They camped out on where they found fish. KVD left his spot for 10 min on Sat and came right back realizing he may invite others to fish it if he left for too long.
Most tournaments don't seem to show this 90% to 10% rule but in reality they do. There were only 51 anglers in this tourny to start and they are just a drop in a 10 gallon bucket in relation to the water on the lake. How many PRO's fish a regular BASS or FLW event? 100, 150?? So they are 2 or 3 drops in the bucket. Considering the conditions leading up to and during the classic I was surprised that as many fish were weighed in as there was.

It does my heart good to see phenomenal anglers like Denny Bruer, Skeet Reese, and Boyd Duckett pretty much come up gooseggs. Not to see them lose, but because if they get skunked in an event they are dying to win, I don't feel so bad for going out on a hot day and putting nothing in the boat. I must be fishing that other 90% of the water too much.
On a side note, I'm no feminist, but I thought it was way cool to see Pam Martin-Wells bring in a full limit all three days to end up in 22nd place. I wonder if this was a first?

The one feeling I have always had about Denny Brauer is that he is pretty stubborn. I don't know, but it sure is easy to imagine a scenario where he goosegged on the first day flipping, decided he was out of the tourney, and then stuck with the flipping the second day just to try and make the fish bite on his terms.
But I would be interested in hearing from the man himself. I agree with the Captain, you learn more from poor days. I always wanted to see a show that specialized in showing post cold front fishing, you know, how to scrounge up 3 bites on an otherwise impossible day.... |

Well like daniel, lisa and i had a fantastic time as well. Getting to meet SBK, and bubba and his wonderful family along with mississippiboy AND gal and the princess too, hehe. Got to say this gang, ol bubba is gonn have his hands full with his 3 boys in the near future. He got some big boys and his wife is truly a nice lady. So glad to meet them. As ofr the event....man so much to do and so little time to do it. Gonna have to go to new orleans i think too. Sad part of the trip was lisa was already a little sick with the crud, then i got it saturday night. Didn't go to work today cause i just couldn't get outta bed. But it was worth it to meet some of the pros. Now it is time for US to go fishing. I am so ready now...............

Here's the few pics we took at the Expo. We were too busy walking around with our mouths hanging open to take many. Also got a pic of my new lucky hat...

Internet has been on the fritz, and Mike in India wasn't helping much. I think he changed his name because I probably couldn't repeat his momma given name, but anyways. I got to watch the blast off Saturday morning. I was forced to stand on some frozen rocks when the crowd started coming in, and let's just say, I puckered up a few times from the tennies slipping. But I watched 49 boats head south with the last 2 hanging u-turns and heading North. One was KVD and the other was the Tightlines wrapped boat, anyone know the angler? So I walked back to the truck and started to leave and saw all the people lined up on the bridge and decided to see what was going on. There was no mistaking the Z-9 wrapped boat sitting in the hole, so I pulled over and watched the man fish for about an hour. I watched him land 3 fish back to back on the gold red eye. RNR, you talk about the man being business and I see what you mean from the edits. But he was whooping and hollering and interacting with the fans showing off his catch, but it was only momentarily, and he was back to business. I noticed Ike has turned his drama volume down a little bit too though. Anyways, jumped in the truck and headed back to pick up the family at the hotel and get checked out. We headed to the Expo at the BJCC and played hide-n-go-seek with MSBoy and his family for a few and finally met up. Then Bama and the Mrs. joined us. We hung out a little while and everything pretty much followed the same lines as MSBoy posted as far as seeing some people like SBK & Tim Knox. I got to meet Paul Elias and a few others, too. I felt sort of bad for asking to Ish Monroe to step out of my way to see a display, he was holding out his pin like I wanted him to sign something, but I really just wanted to see the display. My kids were getting rowdy by the end of the day so we didn't stay for the weigh-in, plus we had a church function to attend Sunday, so we headed out. I think the monkey only did $28 in damage, so I feel good. I hated I didn't get to spend more time with the fellas, but hopefully we can make plans to attend the LA Delta next year. I will try to get a pic of the boys in the play house a little later.
