Follow that Basstrakk blog...

Sort of a Classic blog by some writer named Barone (Not Michael)...

Rumor has it Boyd Duckett is moving on up today. Also the bags seem to be significantly below yesterday's weights.

Live Blogging the Leaderboard:

Steve Kennedy drops the fricken ball 2fish for 5-3.

A. Mart hangs in there with 15-14, so far the days best.

We are now at the half way point.
Charlie Hartley leads with a total of 34-13 (13-12 Day 2)
Cliff Pace is 2nd with 33-5
IKE is 3rd with 31-3
Hack is 4th with 30-11
Bobby Lane is 5th with 29-13
Matt Sphar is last with 7-14

At this point it looks like it is gonna be a close one going into day 3.

IKE drops down with 12-14, but that will be good enough to keep him in contention probably.

Frag!!! Again Jeff Coble fails to bag a limit again today. He has almost a carbon copy of yesterday 3 fish for 8-12 a whole 2oz improvement from yesterday. (That makes 2 fantasy anglers out of the cut)

There were 37 limits weighed on day 1 or 74% of the field.

Fred Roumbanis Bixby, CA weighs a 6- 7 hawg.

Ouch!!! Casey Ashley stumbles hard 2 fish for 5-12. He may not even make the fricken cut. NOT a good fantasy day at all so far.

So far 9 anglers have bettered their day 1 weight. 14 have dropped weight on Day 2.

A.Mart still with the big bag of the day with almost half weighed in. (Alton Jones is supposed to have the days biggest bag, we shall see)

Chris "Yes he is never going to be on a fantasy team of mine ever again" Lane catches 1 fish for 3-7. He now is the bottom of the barrel at 6-1.

Ish weighs in a single 2lber and takes the bottom spot from Lane. That makes two guys who were supposidly "on 'em" that finish with disasters.

MN boy Remitz the "Wolverene" finishes out a forgettable Classic with a total of 4 fish for 11-1.

KJ skunks or DQ's, not sure which.

Jeff Kriet scores the biggest bag so far today 18-12.

KVD is up next... 5fish for 11-14 total 32-1. He definitely has a good shot going into the final day.

Rook stumbles hard 5 fish for 7-12. So much for the sun helping him. He still will have a shot though with a big bag tommorrow.

MN Federation Angler Brent Haimes comes in with only 2 today for 3-3. Hey at least he beat some of the Elite Pro's. He will be the lowest placing Federation angler.

The Rumors were... TRUE Alton Jones comes in with 18-11 and takes the lead with 36 even. He by far has had the two strongest days with a 17 then 18lb limits.

Now I am just waiting out Boyd...
Boyd 5 fish for 15-2, unfortunatly that is not gonna be enough to put him in the cut.

Skeet weighs the days third biggest bag with 17-2 putting him at 28-7. Although it's a long shot he puts himself in contention.

Fantasy Review:
BP boys: Van Dam 4th, Ashley 20, Kennedy 39, Coble 41, C.Lane 49 Not so good. We need a KVD top 2 bad and there is always the possiblity Ashley could come up big on Day 3 with more places to move up than down.

BP1: Ike 6th, Martens 10, Ashley 20, Duckett 33, Coble 41 So basically mediocrity reins supreme in the first fantasy outing of the year.
