I only need partner names for two teams. We are only two weeks away from this grueling tournament. Dont forget about the meeting friday the 29th at Cabelas.

Looking forward to it.

This is going to be a great tournament. There are some really stacked teams this year.

I think our finish made us the court jesters of Cowtown. ...I'm guessing 38-45 total lbs to win.

Remember to bring an extra trolling motor this time.

I agree Marcus Operry, 37 pounds wins

I was thinking somewhere around 35 lbs to take it

Man too many stacked teams to pick a winner, a lot of guys should do well. I have a few names in my head that I thing will do real well, but keep them to myself in case I am way off

Go ahead and jinx a couple of those teams we need all the help we can get.

I say 37.5 pounds wins it and Grapevine will be the deciding lake.

If Team 5 don't win it, then its rigged.
Sorry guys

That's a pretty good pick for sure I bet they bring a pretty penny in the Calcutta.

Clark went pretty high last year in the Calcutta too but I think there are a lot of teams on that list that should do well. These are mostly the folks that put in a ton of hours on these lakes and all have a shot at winning. No disrespect to Brian and Trent but it ain't over till its over and the other 29 teams are not gonna give up and hand it to them.

After looking at that list more than half the field has a great chance to win based on reputation and past performance on the lakes were going to. I think it's going to be a race down to the last event on Lake Worth Sunday night.

Brian is a great guy and great fisherman but last time I checked 30 teams have a good shot at winning....I don't think it is rigged regardless of who wins, but there is no doubt that the blue moritz boat is going to have two good fisherman!

You can't rule out last years winner Donnie either. There are alot of more than capable teams on the list this year.

That was my point as well. Again not taking anything from Brian but any of the 30 teams can win out there on those lakes. Fishing 4 lakes in two days really equalizes things. Everyone has a lake that is their strength and and a lake that is their weakness.
I would not crown anyone just yet.

Come on Springer give us a run down on all the teams or at least your top 5. Since your not competing this year I vote for you to be the official play by play, lake by lake guy. The Bob Costas of Kings of Cowtown..... Give us your picks!!!!

Even the top 5 is very very tough...

I mean you just wacked them on arlington yesterday, solid on eagle mountain and worth, and fish grapevine...I look for you to do well Monte

Biggs and Kennedy good on worth and eagle mountain, pretty decent on arlington, and the question mark is on grapevine

Vince Repola, good on worth, good on eagle mountain, had 11.5 lbs on arlington yesterday and think he would be pleased to catch that..Grapevine is his weakpoint

Brian and Trent...Excellent all around fisherman...No slouch on arlington, great on eagle mountain and worth...Not sure about his knowledge of grapevine, but he may have a birdie whisper some pointers in his ear...That birdie being strong since he isn't fishing..

For my last top 5 pick going with Freeman/Freeman

Great on Grapevine and Eagle Mountain, and all around very solid fisherman

But you still have some serious fisherman left out...If I was fishing this tournament I would be happy to make the top ten with the quality of fisherman

There you go monte, you have my breakdown of picks

Its a sucker bet this year, too many teams that can do it.

When is this? and did Keenan find a partner?

It's September 6-7th hopefully you can hook up with Keenan this tournament is a lot of fun. It's 4 lakes in 2 days with a short break in between each one. It's definitely an Iron Man type fishing event and with so many different styles of lakes it's a real challenge.

Springer I love your picks.

Biggs is very good on Grapevine. I've been out there a few times. He knows Worth better than anyone I know, and can dang sure catch them on Eagle Mtn. I know he caught a 7 or 8 at Arlington before.


Biggs/Kennedy is my pick.

TEAM 11 is going to Clint Freeman/Garrett Winford, unless I got cut and hadn't been told yet!

I hate when that happens...
