Chris No opinions on the classic? Or is it just me that nobody wants to reply to? Not sure if I said , or did something to the wrong person, but please let me know if I did. Chris |

Also, Aaron Martens , how can you come any closer than that, what an awesome classic, very exciting weigh in. Chris I couldn't agree more. It was a very tough venue (or so it appeared, hunting long and hard for legal fish, most guys weighing in less than a limit each day, BIG names zeroing...) I found myself pulling for Aaron just because he'd done so well in years past to come up 2nd, won the AOTY this season, but alas, he finished 2nd yet again. Then again, this is bass fishing and not NASCAR or "wrestling" so I don't really have anyone to pull "against", I was happy that KVD got number 2, and was even going to be stoked if Cochran managed a 3rd title and reset his prior lowest weight to win a Classic (which I think KVD did reset.) I wouldn't have minded any of the Super 6 snatching the title. The G-Man is cool (or so it seems), Iaconelli is cool (I've met him twice now, once before his Classic win, once since) Marty Stone lives 5 miles from me, it was just a cool time, came down to ounces, etc. About the only thing missing was Clunn being in the hunt...yet again. I got hooked on Classic activities last year when they were here in NC, and just wished I could've gone up to Pittsburgh myself, and been out on the river watching these guys work. Maybe one day, High Rock will recover and they'll be able to host another Classic here so I can be in the gallery again sometime... |

No opinions on the classic? Yeah, but my mom always said if you don't have anything good to say then don't say anything at all. Or is it just me that nobody wants to reply to?

It is not that I would never vote for a republican, but I need someone that I am more in line with on issues I really care about. I will always keep an open mind . Chris |

Personally, my politics are to the far left of Howard Dean but I don't think the fish give a damn and I don't expect that rofb does much either. Better I think to talk fishing and leave the politics to alt.useless.mudslinging. -- Ken Fortenberry |

Ike's shameless self plugs at the weigh in stand I can do without. He's OK by me otherwise. I was quietly pulling for Aaron. Harry J aka Thundercat Brooklyn Bill's Tackle Shop Fishing Team http://www.brooklynbillstackleshop.com Share the knowledge, compete on execution. |
I am glad KVD won. I hope Martens is doomed to 2nd place. Jooste from the
Federation reports himself and gets his catch zeroed for running a no wake zone but Martens had no problem weighing fish and winning an FLW without a license. Of course if Aaron had been running the wrong boat Irv the liquidator might have had a different ruling like the guy without the capacity plate. The man has NO ethics. IMHO. Sorry Thundercat, Aaron seems like a nice guy but his ethics suck. Crown Royal, his sponsor last year was very appreciative with gifts for my reporting Aaron last year. Joe Z. |

BTW, who the HELL is Robbie Taylor, and why is he broadcasting sidebars from the Classic? I guess they had too many talking heads all set up, and not enough fish being caught to give them much to talk about, so it was kinda like 14 hours of one commentator asking another commentator who they thought would win. I found the actual competition rather captivating, as every keeper mixed up the standings. But I could have done without the Emcee, Robbie, Kim, Byron, Shaw, Jay and Zona. Well, keep Zona and Ron Franklin, bring back Fish (or better yet Ray) to run MC the weigh-in, and let the fishermen do the talking. I wonder if eternal 2nd place finishes are God's way of punishing Martens for the license thing. Even though I like his fishing style, I couldn't quite bring myself to root for him because of that. |

Rich, Maybe now that Kim accepted Andre Moore's proposal she will be a conflict of interest? ;-) Robbie is the dork on BassMaster University on ESPN-2. If guys Ike (And Skeet and Swindle) attract a few thousand more kids to try fishing I can tolerate him and be grateful I don't have to be in a boat with him. I am from the Al Lindner and Gary "Rotten" Roach age of fishing but I do appreciate Ike's appeal to the youth. Joe Z. |
