three day tie.. looks like a fishoff tomorrow with Edwin Evers, really hate to see amatuers having to compete with Elite pros in opens. Good luck Mark

WOW, this is cool.

OMG there will be a Fishoff tomorrow between Mark Smith and Edwin Evers as they tied for First Place. They just announced it will be a full day fishoff. Good for BASS on that call not to penalize the anglers on a short day.

Oh Mark I am pulling for you.

Debra

I dont know mark, but I am pulling for him I do like to see the underdog win!

These are the last three days weights for the two anglers for a total weight of 35-9

Mark (Total 13 fish) 14.6 / 11.11 / 9.8
Edwin (Total 15 fish) 10.14 / 10.8 / 14.3

rut roh.. hope mark didnt use up his water. good luck to both anglers. being in that duo, you gotta be tough!

Yea looks like somebody is running out of fish.Didnt someone from the TFF lead this on day 1?

Mark has lead all three days, James Biggs was up there on Day one and finished pretty strong.

Yeah, I don't know Mark, but with his weights dropping like that I hope he has some more located.

The good thing is there will be no Fishing pressure for them tomorrow, and I think the winner will be the more focused decision maker tomorrow.

Congrats to James on finishing 11th and finishing 47 for the year despite a tough week on Big Sam.James also had the second or third biggest sack for the week.I'm sure he and especialy his dad are worn out after some long boat rides thru barge wakes all three days.

I sure hope Mark can pull it out, Anybody know what area his been fishing and what his been catching most of his fish on, I grewup fishing down there just wandering where He's at.

This doesn't sound good for Mark, "My bite is severely used up," Smith said. "This is the first time (in the tournament) I don't have any confidence."

All day event, they had to they have a long run both of them they wouldn't get to there spot if it was a half day. Gonna be interesting.

+1

Evers wins!
