Congratulations Edwin Evers!!!

(Photo-Screen Capture from Bassmaster.com) This one was close folks. The Citrus Slam Elite Series Tournament on the St. Johns River was suppose to be an epic slugfest. It didn't live up to the hype because loads of big fish disappeared on Day 1 and the promised 30lb bags never materialised. I have a theory that the "Super Moon" caused the fish to feel that the moon was full almost a week early

Elite Series SJR Day Final

It looks like this one will be a nail biter. It very well may come down to a last minute lunker.Don't think I will liveblog today either.I plan to listen to the Bass Zone.com Wide Open post game at 7:30PM EST.Sweet! They had Chiggar on this morning on BassCam. (Just watched it and vids are too short)I wonder if B.A.S.S. is having problems, I'm not getting anything and it's after 3PMCST when the

Elite Series SJR Top 12 and Thoughts

The Day 3 Weigh In is complete and Alton's lead has shrunk to 2lbs 9ozs over Edwin Evers. I would have to say this isn't looking good for Alton as E2 made up 8lbs today and if Vinson didn't have 5 dead fish E2 might be leading this thing. Todd Faircloth, in 3rd, made up 8-14 and Big Show is only 6-11 back and he had a problem with breaking off fish today. KVD came back to earth today with only

SJR Elite Series Had Marshal Shortage

I didn't get to reading the BassFan Day 1 recap until late on Friday night and at the bottom of the recap they had this note:> A B.A.S.S. communications official confirmed that due to a shortage of marshals registered for the event, five anglers fished today without an observer. That's a particularly undesirable situation in a sight-dominated tournament due to the organization's rule that fish

Alton On St. Johns

This was just reported on Facebook by Alton Jones:With stable weather it looks like this one may be a battle of the sight fishermen. Shaw could be very dangerous again. Kelly Jordan, Alton Jones, Dean Rojas, Grant Goldbeck are all accomplished sight fishermen. Who else?

Elite Series Harris Chain Day Final Thoughts

Well the veteran legendary Florida sight fishermen Shaw Grigsby, pulled out yet another sight fishing victory in Florida. Shaw was kind of lucky because he beat Grant Goldbeck by 7-6 with Grant weighing in a full 5 fish less than Shaw. It was an increadible comeback for Grant with just 1 fish for 1lb 1oz on Day 1. Personally I was hoping Grant would somehow pull it off and he was just one toad

The Big Question Elite Series Harris Chain Day 4

Will people who are fishing tournaments tomorrow on the Harris Chain and blasting off before the B.A.S.S. guys move in on Shaw and Grants honey hole?If that happens, it's a nightmare for Shaw and wide open for Browning and Van Dam. If not, it's probably over.

On The Wolverine Skunk

This is from the B.A.S.S. Day 3 Liveblog:In answer to the comment below on Derek Remitz: Yes, he did fish. And as crazy as it seems, Remitz zeroed both days. He is one of those anglers who got caught in making the wrong decisions at the right time. Count him and Bobby Lane in the same boat. Lane didn't zero but on his home water he feels like he did.Both are deeply disappointed. But both are also
