looks like Russ is going to make me eat my words, but to be honest I was going to post this before I saw the leader board. after fishing fork last day and half, I still hold by my word from weeks ago that I think people are being too optimistic about Fork just because it is the lake we all love and want it to do well. the reality to me is most fish are post spawn and although 5-8 pounders might be numerous, there won't be much bigger caught, we'll see a couple DD's, but not a bag of 8-12 pounders. I don't think many people will go over the 30 mark each day and no one will hit close to 40. Don't quit your day job, you're not going to make it as a prognosticator. haha X2

Hey Rob,
Just move here for a year and you may learn something.......or maybe not.

Visibility is fine and I saw fish still on beds late this afternoon. The lake is not muddy at all. watching the stage interviews live several just mentioned the big girls weren't up as much as earlier in week. I know Wednesday and Thursday I saw a bunch of males guarding, but they were nervous.

Don't quit your day job, you're not going to make it as a prognosticator. ha, I will eat crow, I know when I'm wrong :D, but honestly I wasn't too far off. There were only 2 DD fish. There was only one 40 pound sack. There were only 14 sacks over 30. 50 of the best anglers in the world and 28 didn't catch over 25 pounds, an average of only 5 pounders! What really impressed me was the 7 overs and the weights would have been much higher if 80% of the big girls haven't already spawned out. I got it wrong, but I think my point was still made with a sounding hammer that Fork wasn't going to produce like most people dreamed.

Just move here for a year and you may learn something.......or maybe not. 5 of the best 50 anglers in the World caught an over yesterday, I caught an over Thursday. Hmm.  Just kidding, I really do suck (at bass fishing), that was only my 2nd over in 2 years.

I know the live results link still works as posted in this thread, but is it just me or have they not removed the live results link from their website? so far problems I've had with website... 1) Can't see 10th, 20th, 30th... place results with IE, Chrome, or Safari unless you shrink the zoom. 2) Site lags pretty good at times. 3) Can't view website and results hardly at all with mobile device, at least iPhone. 4) Live Weigh-in blocked to about 50 viewers until about 10 minutes until the weigh-in, then worked fine. 5) No final day results posted on website, just the live results page. I can live with most of that, only thing annoying the mobile browsing was unusable for me. Don't they know over half of internet traffic these days is mobile.

this is going to be annoying if they only have the total weight (which matters most), but I would still love to see the daily best 5.

I'll talk to you Rob but I don't have much to say. Carry on.
I'm not new to fishing, or forums, but I'm new to fishing forums.
Just trying to gain knowledge from being gone from the sport for about 15 years. Did I miss anything?
