Never knew there were so many experts at operating a bass boat in 40+ mph winds on large lakes. 60ft houseboats are getting swamped, docks are being torn up by the waves but all these folks that can run the lake in 18 to 22 ft bass boats. Guess I can get a list of names to call to give me driving lessons.

Let's just cut through the chase--- Bottom Line--- This is going to be a very dangerous lake to be on this weekend with wind gusts up to 50 mph and sustained 25+. But as usual there are a few bad boys (wannabees) that think they're invincible and compare theirselves to the ELITE crew. But what they don't have is sponsors to replace everything they're going to tear up in 5 to 7 foot waves! For peanuts!! There's not a ramp on Amistad that provides protection from that!! Who's kidding who! This one's going to be bad! I've never missed a Champs tourn. but this one is keeping me home! Good luck guys!! It's just fishing!!!

Ok the wind is gonna blow, Chad will decide if the show will go on. If you don't like the wind stay home. If you dont mind the wind go fish. Theres nothing to argue over..

Ah, the voice of reason finally penetrates through all the Brown fog that is trying to obliterate everything.

Those weather forcasters sometimes speak with forked tongues!!
Several times I have anticipated a "snow day" where I would be out of school. This was bolstered by the weather predictors spouting "SNOW!...SNOW!...SNOW!"
I was all set to track rabbits, lay up in the bed with Wifey.....whatever....and NO SNOW!
Ya just can't believe those politicians and weather people!

My Recollection of the 07 Amistad Tournament is Of The Ricky Bobby's of The World Doing Flying chest bump Hi Fives at 6 am That day In Their Nitro ,Skeeter weekend warrior outfits, Only to See a bunch Long Faces walking around collecting their thoughts at 4pm.(kinda Looked Like helicopter Crash survivors) Velcro on the Boat deck and soles of shoes would be Helpful tommorow.... Good Luck
All I have to say is Bass Champs runs a great tournament trail and they should make the right call on this one . Just remeber that when you are out there, you are not only putting your life in danger but the life of rescue workers if they have to come and get you.Everyone be safe and use good judgement.
