Who's going to win the Classic and what technique will be the key?

Me. Ill be noodling.

New sig quote!

Evers. Combs for more of a long shot.

It's almost a given that it's in the back of a area where water is less muddy. Probably spinnerbait, chatterbait or square bill.

Hopefully someone that is not named KVD

Hate to say it but kvd is going to find key laydowns and pull a limit off each one.I know some on here dont like him but he can flat out fish. I know he has better recources than most but i think the hate is more envy my .02 I would like to see a federation guy take it though.

IKE

Its gonna be a mud fest after all this rain! Im thinking Denny with a good ole s/k jig lol.

Its was horrible before this rain!!!!!

I really like KVD and think he is probably a really nice guy. I just want some new blood to win. You have to admire KVD though. He is the best to ever hold a rod.

Edwin Evers.

I don't care who wins but would love it if the top 10 going into the final day where within 2.5 lbs of each other so that the final day would be a real dog fight.

Is RedRanger fishing this event?

They won't let him because they are afraid he'll show up the entire elite series.

IKE

I would like to Hackney win in his home state. I wouldn't mind Evers, Kriet, or Defoe win either.

KVD - 1st with Red-eye shad 51 lbs
Bobby Lane - 2nd with jigs and Rat'ltrap 48 lbs
Faircloth - 3rd with Senko 47 lbs
Evers - 4th with jigs 45 lbs
Palaniuk - 5th with crankbaits 44 lbs

I am thinking Hack is due.

Skeet, KVD, Todd Faircloth...maybe not in that order

It would be awesome if Andrew Upshaw won

Alton Jones, Edwin Evers and Greg Hackney in some kind of order.

Skeet didn't qualify.

When does it air and what channel? Thanks

Nevermind. Went to the Bassmaster website. What sucks is I don't have the Outdoor channel. Won't be able to watch until March when it air's on ESPN2.

KVD

Edwin Evers or Greg Hackney

The angler with the most weight will win the classic....I have always wanted to say that.

Ott Defoe will jig fish to a classic win.

Don't count Davy Hite out of this one...

Keith Combs. He's put in the work.

I am going with Edwin Evers!

My top 3 are:
1. Ott DeFoe
2. Edwin Evers
3. Brandon Palaniuk

I think there could be a few key patterns, I think reaction baits in the morning and plastics in the afternoon:
Morning:
1. Square bill crankbait
2. Chatterbait/Spinnerbait
3. Swim Jig
Afternoon:
1. Creature Bait
2. Tube (Ike may do well with the new Berkley Havoc Smash Tube)
3. Skirted Jig

I would like to see Jeff Kriet or the Hack Attack win. Probably will be won in the back of one of the Oxbows in a little bit clearer water.

Tucker or Martens....we all know what Aaron uses, Tucker will junk fish..


...hope Hack jacks 'em

Kriet is due !!!

kreit may be due but he hasn't ever done real good on rivers

Casey Ashley

Im pulling for Hackney or Swindle.

I am going and pulling for my buddy Andrew Upshaw!

Off topic but since your a Shreveport local do you know who has the best crawfish there?

Defoe, Combs, Brauer

It would be nice to see someone like Kevin Wirth win. Maybe then he could afford to fish the elites next year. Or one of the federation boys.

Well the Outdoor channel is only showing reruns... The Classic coverage that airs on 02/24 on the Outdoor channel is from last years Classic. So we all have to wait to March to see actual TV coverage on ESPN2. BUT they will be doing live feeds, blogs, interviews, on the water commentating ETC... on the BASSMASTER website.

Shavers on Youree Drive if you want to pick them up cooked or Shanes on Youree or E. Texas if you want to dine in

I was thinking the Samething... Lol

Im pulling for Matt Reed!!

I think Kriet is due.

Ott Defoe or Edwin Evers

KVD
Evers
Denny B.

All depends on the bite. If its a spinnerbait or crankbait bite KVD will spank them.

Sight fishing - Evers

Jig- Denny B

Kelly Jordan!

Ike..... Taking the win.

He's not fishing it, Matt. First man out.

RedRanger

The guy who weighs the heaviest sacks over the course of three days.

Being a college angler myself I hope Andrew Upshaw does very well.

Were do yall think old man clunn will finish? What about duckett? Can't count the old guys out

Ott Defoe.

did any TFF er set up a fantasy league on BASS?

Easy E, Edwin Evers.
