BASS Toho-ho Day 3

Sean Hoernke blogged a FLW Toho recap...

OTW Bassfan Bigstick John Murray...

Disappearing Hudgins: At the 2008 Bassmasters Classic Charlie Hartley did well the first day and then fell back the 2nd and 3rd days. Because of his fall we found out that he has the nickname "DC" for Disappearing Charlie. The nickname was given to him by his wife for his tendancy to fish strong the first day of a tournament but then fall back during subsequent days. Well the posse BASS FBF teams have found a "DH," Disappearing Hudgins. At both Harris Chain and Toho Bryan Hudgins sacked 20lb bags the first day, but couldn't follow up and fell badly on subsequent days. DH made the 50 cut at Toho but fell 24 spots on Day 2. He had the worst Day 2 of any angler who made the cut.

FBF Recap: It was an ugly Day 2 for Bass Pundit 1, which is a big surprize because it seemed to have the better upside of the two posse teams. Here's the shake down on Team Florida.

Scroggins 4th -2
B. Lane 6th +1 (Yes a 1 point gain!!!)
Hudgins 34th -24
P. Clark 60th -23
C. Lane 72nd -11

That's right the BP 1 fell 59 angler positions on Day 2. OUCH! They were 8750th place on the day (54.24%) I suppose it could have been much worse if Scroggins and Bobby Lane tanked. BP1 dropped all the way down to 16th in the Futurebass.com league.

My hope for the Minnesocold Bpboys on Day 2 was that they would hold strong. With the exception of DH they did. In fact the Bpboys actually improved 13 angler positions thanks to big mover Mark Davis.

KVD 3rd +5
Scroggins 4th -2
B. Lane 6th +1
Davis 9th +33
Hudgins 34th -24

Despite an actual improvement in points over yesterday, the BPboys slipped to 262th best of all players from 91st. Wierd!
