I am a sucker for rooting for underdogs, even when they're beating my personal favorites. If KVD wins we say yeah, yoohoo, back to work. But if a lesser known bass fisherman starts slayin' them our eyes are glued to the tv and ya have to admit we like to see kvd sweat blood and tears on the lake or at the stage. So while I believe kvd and the other consistent top 5's are great, deserving bass fishermen, I'm putting my sight on a few guys who don't get much air time. For the Classic:
1)Mark Davis - well known but stays in the shadows, he is due a classic win.
2)[COLOR=#225fb2]Morizo Shimizu[/COLOR] - Those Japanese guys have all kinds of stuff up their sleeves, WHEN THEY NEED IT, he knows what to do.
3)John Crews - need I say more?
4)Gary Klein - 29 classic appearences, 8 more than kvd, think he's had enough of him.
5)Michael Iaconelli - His win here in '03 is why you still see him fishing the pro's today, I'm sure he has a mental advantage as long as he can secure his spot.
