It's called fishing, not catching. The name of the game is to go out and do whatever it takes on the days of the classic, these guys are the best in the world. Why in the world would you say that it is flawed, these guys could go out on any given lake and catch them. The one that can do it three days in a row no matter the weather, conditions, or fishing pattern is the one that deserves the trophy...

Just like the U. S. Open in golf. I like to see the pros struggle. I like instinct to kick in when plan A goes out the window. The best fishermen know when to get off what isnt working and do something else. What was Christie thinking?

Actually it's exactly how I would like to see a classic won. Someone figuring it out basically that day and not from simply repeating practice. Completely agree! In many of the pre-tournament interviews with the pros, I heard guys say "this Classic will be won by someone who has no idea they're going to win it".

Im a huge fan of watching the Classic and even a fan of Jorden Lee. However, I think they spread out practice for this event way too much prior to the start. It seems pretty obvious that Lee had nothing good going in practice so he just started over on day one and figured it out in the current conditions. My bet is that if he discovered some developing patterns in practice that he too would have been surprised by how much the fish moved in their time off. Yes, he won fair and square but I really think a lot of it was the luck of having a terrible practice and this is too big of a tournament for that. Im not talking about the need for adjustments based on conditions, this event proved to me it required a complete restart. Not how I want to see a Classic won. Anyone else think the same? Think the same? buddy I don't think you and I are on the same planet. Seriously guys OP must just be trolling us

Not at all. I think this went about as well for BASS as possible with that much drama on the final day.
I was really pulling for Christie though, man he just needed 1 more swimmer....

I dont even comprehend what the point is he is trying to make.
I watched and they all said in a few days it would go off. At first I thought him and his brother had figured something out in practice, among many other patterns and finally dialed that one in. Recall Jordan caught 25lbs last year on last day, thats a come from behind if I ever saw one, and it only took 12 fish to win it for him, not 15, cant get that out of my head!!!

On day two, he actually bumped a spectator boat trying to get out of the back of a cove. Sad. Let the guys fish! No need to be all up on the guys nuts while he's fishing. The spectators cut his bite in half on day two and three. The ran boats all over his outbound side of his coves, as they followed him "at distance" into the coves. Idiots. Take binoculars and stay the hell away from his area. Off my box now.
Eat. Sleep. Fish.

look at another way.....the difference between 1st place and 10th was only 5lbs....(47lbs vs 42lbs)....each of the top 10 culled multiple times and weighed 15 fish total for three days...the difference between 1st place and 2nd place was only one pound meaning only 1 ounce per fish....
all of the top 10 are very good fishermen but seems to me when the weights are this close,luck determines who wins.....
(and Jason Christi ain't had no luck in the classic)....

This Classic was the epitomy of fishing. Jordan couldnt find a pattern so he went to his style of fishing, what he is confident in. Sometimes, thats the answer and this proved that.
If you can't find em wind em.

I would rather there be no practice time at all, just show up and fish just like MLF.

I think this is typical for a bass tournament during the spawn. On a lake where you cannot see beds, fishing seems to almost shut down when they start spawning because moving baits become less effective. And if you cannot see the beds, unless you are dragging a TR or CR, you might have a tough time getting a bite. Jordan was able to find just enough weight to pull out the win. They are all fishing the same conditions, so whoever makes the better adjustment finds the better fish.
