Could BassTrakk be right and Byron and Guy have goose eggs? If so Bill Lowen walks away if it. Only the weigh-in will tell.Well BassCam seems to show Byron with fish, so there is a good chance it is Velvicks tournament.
What is this? Am I going to get to watch the weigh-in today?
I saw the National Anthem and now Elvis and Trip are shooting the breeze.
Yes here comes Biffle with 5 Fish 22-15 for the day for 81-14.
Next is Skeet 25-1 for Skeet 85-3, "I had a big swim bait all day long" "I realized where they were yesterday" says he lost a 7lber right at the end of the day. Thinks he will be leading AOY points coming out of Cali. "If I don't see anything else this season I want to see Guy Eaker qualify for the classic.
Brian Snowden won his first boat at clear lake, only had 4 fish today.
Boyd Duckett 17-13 for 79-8. Catching them on Berkley Chiggar craw, a few on swimbait. Skeet gets a hard time about losing to Boyd in the Classic, it was pretty funny.
Matt Herren only 13-14 "My pattern died"
Jared Lintner "The Milkman" 5 for 16-1 for 78-9 "set a record today for smallest bag at Clear Lake". Says he lost some good fish today. Pimping the Revo Toro for swimbait fishing.
Terry Butcher former full time Bull rider. Threw a Boogie bait.
Bradley Roy with 15-9 for 78-11. They call him "Pampers" "Tried to swing for the fence and obviously I missed." Thanks sponsors and family. Was using a spining rod and fishing a jerkbait. "Today the hitch didn't come up."
Randy Howell with 18-14 and 86-2 takes lead. Threw swimbait with no luck was hurting right up until the end of the day. For the tournament had a early jerkbait bite. Today started with a big swimbait and thinks it might have scarred his jerkbait fish away.
Guy Eaker with 22-7 for 90-11 and into the lead. "I can't believe the fish we caught in 1 place." Bill Lowen was fishin' shallow and Guy was fishing deeper. "The Good Lord blessed me the do this for 35 years and I give Him all the credit."
Bill Lowen 23-0 for the lead with 92-9. "There is to much clear water here" "I am not a swimbait fisherman and that is what you need to do to win here." Caught fish on black/blue Chatterbait and swim jig. Says he had 3 5lber hooked outside the mouth today that had to go back thanks to Cali law. "The water got cleaner as the tournament went on" Had an early limit.
Byron Velvick 22-14 for the win 98-6. His big fish was 6-2. "I love clear lake man, this place rocks." Need to fish a swimbait real slow, most guys reel them in to fast. Was using a brand new bait that came through the weeds good. Likes to doctor up the swimbaits, wants them to have a scent trail. Says high to Dad and Armed Forces. Sounded like he believes in a slow stop and go, stop and go, retrieve for the swimbait.
Post Script: I am not a Byron fan thanks to his appearance on the Bachelor where I thought he came off as a total creep. I would have much rather seen Bill Lowen or Guy Eaker win this one. Still Congratulations Byron!!! Clearly the guy can fish Clear Lake.
Now when can I switch my fantasy line up. My year is in the super suck truck.
