The Classic Thread

[Tim_T]

Okay guys, Peter told me he would make this a sticky so that we can discuss the Classic all weekend long with out taking up a lot of board space. Anything and all things Classic post it here. Tomorrow kicks off the first day of the Super Bowl of bass fishing.

Thanks for this Peter.

Anybody got a prediction? I'm thinkin Hackney, but could be Ike. Or maybe Clunn if his tin boat strategy works he could get into some water nobody else could.

mike and mike in the morning stinks, the only thing they did was talk to KVD for 5 minutes.

Hey Trophy. what you have to realize is that Mike and Mike is a sports show, not a fishing show. Even though there were not a lot of interviews and such, the Classic got tons of publicity because Mike and mike is the highest rated of all of ESPN's radio shows.

Also, before Mike and Mike went off the air, they gave a leader update. KY's own Kevin Wirth was in 5th place, and Kelly Jordan was in 1st, with four fish at around 7 lbs.

That much coverage is weigh (pun intended) more than normal!!!

[Trophyhunter8]

I guess your right

[RIBLUEFISH]

It's 1:45 PM and KVD doesn't have a fish. I guess trying to catch fish in 2 feet of water with 30-40 spectater boats in there with you is tougher than you think.

My pick is Scott Rook
