Ultimate Match Fishing

Tommorrow night is the finals. Luke vs Tim. Is this the big blow-up that I have heard so much about. My bets are on Luke winning it all. Seems that he has been the most solid thru the whole event. Seems like he has a way of gettin' in everyone's head.

Go Luke :-)

Thanks for the reminder! I always forget about the show being on. Luke all the way!
I wish they (any network) had an hour or two of bass tourny coverage even reruns on Monday nights.

No the blow up happened a few shows ago, but the Outdoor Channel Choose not to show it. Maybe it will pop up somewhere on a blooper tape.

what's the question to the answer your giving about a blow up on UMF? i guess i missed that one !

[dcbasser]

Too Bad. You know how we all like to see controversy. All around great season and maybe next year they will expand it to an hour and we can see more of the matches. Just don't see enough in my opinion.

[DJD]

Wow, Luke sure did but it on Tim in this half. I know thats hurts when someone is slammin' you like that. I think we have all been there. Still pulling for Luke....

There was a huge blowup that happened during the filming of the show. One of the anlgers was pre-fishing when he came upon the 2 anlgers competing that day "On his Fish". He went on to throw a fit on camera and cause a huge scene, so bad that the anglers who were fishing in that round, pulled up the trolling motor and left, even though both were catching fish at a high rate. Most of this occured on camera, but I guess the people in the editing room decided it was not for TV.

I would love to see it as well. My money is on Gerald Swindle as being the one that "Blew Up". He really showed his hind quarters when I believe it was Luke and his sissy spinning reel that put a hurting on him. Maybe it is just me but I see more pro's using spinnig reel the past year or so than I can remember. Seems every time I see Ike with a Biggun on it is tied to a spinning reel, makes me think spinning tackle and 6 or 8lb test is the way to go with all the fishing pressure "MY" fish get.

We'll UMF was signed on already for 2007. They also added a College Ultimate Match Fishing. I believe we are going to shoot both this fall with the Championship shot next spring. I also heard the Champoinship is now a 1 hour show for 2007, I told them each episode should be 1 hour. But I guess we'll have to wait for that. I'll let you know the details.
