Per a Periscope/Twitter post by MDJ, about 40 anglers that locked to Wilson aren't going to make it back to weigh-in and take zeros. Apparently a barge got stuck in the lock and they're stuck there until they get it out. Sucks for all of them and their Co's too.

I bet some of them had good bags too from the Wheeler tail race.

I'll be mad if any of them are on my fantasy team

Probably no more angry than their spouses who were counting on them making a check to pay the bills

True. The weights are definitely low.

Yep, Chris McCall was one of them, per his facebook, had a decent bag that would have put him in the cup. Hard to swallow that blunder. Those barges are worse than Mother Nature

Somebody weighed in 19 lbs from Wilson and had it all taken away due to being late. I was in third place overall in FLW fantasy fishing and I had two people zero from the lock problems. This one is going to hurt.

That's going to cost a couple of guys their spot in the FW Cup. Sad to see that Mark Daniels Jr was one of the guys stuck in Wilson.
