Remarkable

[tvc184]

I am sure there will be some BASS records broken with the all time [s]heaviest[/s] lightest winning stringers.

[mat]

The real record that will be broke is the amount of attendents for any event in Orange.

Speaking from someone who has planned, booked, and scheduled tournamants, B.S.  Fishermen want to fish great lakes, tournamanet directors want the most money from the city/business organizations, and sponsors want a large draw with an airport and interstate close-by. 

If you think Sabine River is a great fishery, you need to take a boat ride with me for a lesson in great fisheries.

I'm curious to see whats the biggest bass is going to be.

I will start and say 6.5lbs

[thetragichippy]

Hmmm I may be way off

Hybrid Striper.

Kind of a like a Red Drum is known as a Redfish and Spotted Seatrout is known as a Speckled Trout or Speck.

[tvc184]

Only a little conservative?

[tvc184]

..... and I don't routinely talk politics while fishing. Everything else maybe......  8)

Back to the tourny. I listened to an interview on KOGT and they said Bass Masters is not all about big bass stringers. It''s also about putting the elite in challenging conditions so they can prove how good they really are.  Plus there's a lot more to/from the Sabine river than people know, especially if they're willing to put in the effort. They were also saying there is no telling where these fisherman may end up. They could travel by water anywhere from Taylor's Bayou to way up the Neches to deep into Loiusiana. I think I recall a while about a 9+ being caught out of the S river. I'm looking forward to it and I hope it's a success.

It's a great tournament, they always put on a good job.  I just hate seing a tournament where it takes 11 to 15 lbs to take top spot on a given day. 

Way back when they used to put you on a plane and ship your tackle to you.  You didn't know where you were going to fish until you were in the air.  Now that is how you seperate the fishermen from the ones who have the most money to pay scouts and guides for local knowledge.  Yes, they do.......don't go there...... ;D ;D 

[mat]

Yes they do.
