Dear Skeet, WHAT HAPPENED?

I understand that the fishing was "tough" the first two days...but five pounds of fish in 16 hours? According to the day one coverage on ESPN 2, Pam Martin Wells had her limit and over five lbs of bass within the first hour of the first day alone!! Please tell me he had boat problems, that his wife called and talked "at" him all day, he was heckled by Zona, SOMETHING to explain his collapse!!

The guide(s) he got his info from this year flat out LIED to him and should give him his money back…and if you don't think this happens...think again.

Yeah, I can't help but think somethin' is goin' on we don't know of. Regardless of conditions, a reigning Bassmaster Champion should at least be able to catch fish. And to not even qualify? I don't know... something is goin' on. Maybe he cheated last year. Ha.

Shaved head - done well

Not shaved - skunked

:D

There were 25 more that didnt make it just not him.Thats why its called fishing not catching.It can happen to everyone just happened it wasnt skeets time again.

Exactly right, it's fishing. I think more than any other tournament that these guys swing for the fences sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

Heck most of the local guys stumbled. Swindle, Duckett and others......

Thus far I have watched day two and have day three recorded so I can watch it sometime this week after work. From what I saw there were several guys not doing so well that I thought for sure would have done ok, not just Skeet but Boyd Ducket for example...I wonder what happened to him? Just like the other fella said, fishin' is fishin', not catchin'.

I hate to find out who won before I watch the fnal day, but it's sounding to me like KVD might have won.

So what lake is next for B.A.S.S.? Which tournament will be televised on television again, does anyone know?

Congrats to Kevin Wirth finished 8th. He is my hero from Crestwood, KY

Skeet, Boyd, Swindle, and a bunch others gambled up the river and it didn't worked. Ducket blew up his brand new motor on day one, had to switch to a back up boat that didn't have any electronics. Deny Brauer blanked both days. What suprised me most was how little the off-limit area was if there was any. I'd bet you couldn't get into that creek without getting hit by a lipless crank now cuz everybody in the state of Alabama will be in that creek chunking and winding.

If you watched it at all you would have seen the river was chocolate milk. It hurt those guys that didn't stick there flag in that one creek that was clearing up. Vandam never left an area as big as a football field. He had the ultimate honey hole!!!!!

It is at the Delta in California.....March 11 start date. Check out he schedule on bassmasters.com. I feel bad for Jeff Kriet.....knocked out by the champ.....again!

I still got to give it to Kriet. He stuck with it. Alot of people baggin on how he should of moved on. I would have done the same thing he did. Go where the fish have been biting. Just really wished he'd won. No offense, but Im gettin tired of hearing about KVD. But you gotta give it to him, HELL of a fisherman. Beat my ass anyday!

And then maybe the others will have a chance
