Liveblogging the Bassmaster Classic Final Day weigh in:
The Bass Blog with BassTrakk has Alton Jones "at the top of the food chain". Will it be?

They started the weigh in on time so I am already behind the eight ball. So far 5 guys have weighed in.

Dave Wolack is in the lead with 38-6, that won't hold.

Casey Ashley sacks 11-6 for 35-12. Not much of a fantasy gain if any.

Open angler Clark Reehm knocks out the days big bag so far today with 15-00, breaking the 40lb mark (40-8) Won't hold up.

Koto Kiriyama moves into the lead with 40-9. Won't hold up.

So far with 17 anglers weighed, it seems that the weights are down again today.

Bobby Lane takes the lead with 42-7. This was expected as Basstrakk projected him 2nd.

Are they gonna hype the Super 6? Yes they are!

They picked someone random out of the crowd to "Cast for Cash" $50,000, just make a medium sized cast into a fairly small cylinder in a mock up fishes mouth. Naturally they ended up selecting a non-angler (buzz kill) It was not exactly an easy cast, so naturally she missed it. He consolation prize: A bunch of Berkley tackle perfect for the non-fisherwomen.

Super 6
Alton Jones
Charlie Hartley
Ciff Pace
KVD
Jeff Kriet
Ike

Ike gets only 4 and Lane stays on top.
IKE has kids???? I guess he is married to. I didn't even know that.

Kriet doesn't have it, Lane stays

KVD 11-7 and he takes the lead with 43-8.

Cliff Pace knocks off Van Dam with 44-5.

Charlie Hartley had a brutal last day 2 for 3-5.

Alton is up.

ALTON JONES WINS!!! You heard it hear first! (they haven't yet weighed his fish)

I really enjoyed watching the Classic. Lots of variety in how people fished and back and forth on the leaderboard. I thought ESPN did a pretty good job.

I don't know much about Alton Jones but he seemed very classy!
