Hojin Express Fishing "Big O" Bassmaster Open
I see from the Day 1 Standings (Now with Day 2), that Hojin Chang of the bass fishing blog Rattletrap Ramblings is fishing this weekends BASS Southern Open on Lake Okeechobee. He did land a 15oz squeeker which is more than you can say for 64 others.
Update: Hojin caught a single bass (2-6) on day 2. I think that means he is done fishing for the tournament.
A couple thoughts on the Southern Open: Like Tyler Brinks blogged:
The interesting thing to me was seeing alot of big name FLW Tour Pros fishing the event. Could it be some of them are looking to qualify for the Elites next year after the recent chaos of the FLW Tour? Michael Bennett, Luke Clausen, Ott Defoe, Greg Pugh, Scott Canterbury, Koby Kreiger and several others. All of these guys were fishing for an FLW Team last year and are all here. Early season warm-up or looking to jump ship, you decide.
And I took a close look at the standings and the only woman angler in the field is Pam Martin Wells. Since the cancelling of the WBT Tour I saw a number of comments on message boards that the WBT league cancellation was no big deal, "the women can just fish against the guys." Well it looks to me if BASS doesn't do something about making some spaces available just for women than they probably are not gonna have that chance. I am all for some affirmative action with 10-15 spots set aside in the Opens just for women and how about 1 slot in the Elites. There are a few women on the women's side including Byron's Bachelor girl Mary Delgado.
