Uh-oh The Expo cam appears to be off the air, which means if the audio feed doesn't work today than there will be no live blogging of the weigh in and I'll just have to find out the winner either from BassZone, BassFan, or somewhere else on the net.
Finally got the feed

So you don't get ESPN360 either?
I am trying to decide if listening is worse then nothing, frustrating hearing about them talking about 7lbs bass & not see them
Honestly I don't mind just listening to it. Seeing the fish isn't such a big deal to me. If there was a listen only option with FLW I would really be tempted to do that so my computer would work with the Players Advantage FLW Live scoreboard features; I have a hard time using these tools with the live streaming video.
