the big chips are down on the st johns river

Lots of big bass caught many more small bucks caught. So many of the Elite guys just wanted to survive the Florida swing, as was said on the weigh in stage last three days, it is now commin' to a show down and gonna be good , look out for double E, Scroggins and Alton and who knows any thing can happen on that pond. Its the biggest game on now . FLW take note BASS is covering it right and suppporting the anglers and their sponsors not just the in house boys, still looking forward to Hartwell next week hope FLW can step it up. I have supported them from the Operation Bass days but now to me they are so sided and hokey. For one, just compare the Bassmaster Classic with the CUP last year.

ding ding ding... we have a winner!

Hopefully BASS will be back out here next year. That's the only thing keeping FLW afloat for now.

B.A.S.S. will come back to give the west a shot at the Elites ,if not next year the year after they know the talent and potential here, the question is, will the anglers be able to fish and support them?

[TomLeogrande]

If and when BASS comes back, I for one will be fishing them. Donating but, fishing...

Im prepairing rite now to fish BASS next year I am hoping they come back west but even if they dont im goin central at least.

[JIGS]

I will definitly go watch one the next time they come out here. Would love to see one in person has always been my dream to actually meet some of them guys before I meet my maker. Since my dream of ever fishing one expired years ago, this is my next dream !

I went to the Elite event at Clear Lake last year. Rode around in Ross England' s boat for a couple of days. Met lots of Elite anglers and got a ton of autographs. Watched Tom and Rago cuttin' up on the water. Pretty much had the time of my life. Very cool stuff.
