Elite Series Guntersville Day 1 Liveblogged

I did put a fantasy team together last night. I decided to drop Edwin Evers because he just is not having that good of a season. I also dropped John Murray who was kind of a throw away pick from Smith Mountain.

My Fantasy Line UP:
KVD
SKEET
Tim Horton
Mark Tucker
Matt Herren

I have had Herren since the beginning and he is turning out to be the bargin pick of the year. I think he nows goes for $2 over what I have him locked in as.

Once again Bass Trak does not appear to be working...

On Bass Cast they have KVD and Skeet. I think I'll have to watch.

Wow 3 bags weighed, all over 25lbs!!!

Yes Skeet with a 25lb string.

Faircloth in the lead with 31lbs
McClellend Jacks 30-10
Byron in 3rd with 29-4
Martens in 4th with 29-2
Ken Cook with 29-2

Uh-Oh Herren with only 14lbs. That is going to be a lot of ground to make up for the 50 cut. With 64 anglers weighed there are 39, 20lb+ strings.

Horton puts in a respectable 24-1 but Edwin Evers who I dropped laid down 24-12, it's Day 1, this means Jack Squat!

KVD 25-9 which should have him in the Top 20.

Looks like Mark Tucker weighs last.

Pre-tournament favorite Ike weighs 27-5 which will have him in the Top 10.

Just noticed Skeet and KVD have the same weight.

Tucker weighs a mediocre 20-6 which puts him in 57th

So here is my Day 1 Fantasy Team Results
KVD 15th
Skeet 15rh
Horton 23rd
Tucker 57th
Herren 94th

Not exactly a great start.

Here is the Day 1 Top 12
1 Todd Faircloth 5 31- 0 5 31- 0
2 Mike McClelland 5 30-10 5 30-10
3 Byron Velvick 5 29- 4 5 29- 4
4 Ken D Cook 5 29- 2 5 29- 2
4 Aaron Martens 5 29- 2 5 29- 2
6 Alton Jones 5 28-12 5 28-12
7 Michael Iaconelli 5 27- 5 5 27- 5
8 Marty Stone 5 26-15 5 26-15
9 Mark Davis 5 26-14 5 26-14
10 Jami Fralick 5 26-11 5 26-11
11 Boyd Duckett 5 26- 3 5 26- 3
12 Rick Clunn 5 25-14 5 25-14
