Still can�t find where it says lambert caught them on day 1 on the same ledge

"It was reported on FLW Live that Lambert, who had an earlier day-1 boat draw than Haynes, had begun the tournament on that ledge, which is in the northern portion of the lake, and Haynes had fished it later in the day after Lambert had moved on. Haynes exploited it for a 26-03 stringer � the heaviest of the event through the first 2 days.
On day 2, with the boat order flip-flopped, Haynes started on the spot and remained there throughout the day while Lambert caught his 19 1/2-pound bag from a shallower area in the southern end.
With the day-3 field reduced to 30 competitors, the duo staged a boat race to the spot upon take-off. Lambert arrived first, just seconds ahead of Haynes, and they began fishing virtually shoulder to shoulder. FLW Live video showed that Haynes became frustrated with the close-quarters situation, eventually telling Lambert that he could have the spot to himself."

That tells me that Lambert caught at least part, if not all, of his Day 1 limit off that ledge. Otherwise, why would he come back to it on Day 2 (he left when he saw Haynes on the spot) and Day3?

On live they said that's where Lambert caught them on the first day.

I can clearly read that he fished it. I cant find where it said he CAUGHT THEM THERE.

The issue seems to be between who started there on day one and who was in the lead after day two and what is proper educate on who should yield to the other. Haynes may have not known that Lambert caught his day one fish on the spot before he arrived. Likely Lambert told him this when they got there on day 3. Haynes got the spot for day two by having a lower number. Lambert did on day 2 what Haynes should have done on day 3 which is move to another spot. Lambert offered to share the water. Haynes declined. Lambert was in contention 2#4oz behind Haynes who is a hammer on that lake. He can't only have one spot where he could catch them. Instead under the circumstances he acted like a baby and went home. They should suspend him for failure to continue.

Haynes can say whatever he wants in terms of being "old school" but unless something new comes up it appears Lambert handled the situation better than Haynes.

Doesn't sound like he did catch em there on day 1 based on his weigh in interview just now.

I agree, Haynes looks quite foolish for going home. He could have found them elsewhere and continued to fish.

To make matters worse, Lambert sacked 30+ today

I'm going to go ahead and state the obvious........FLW must not have a rule on how close you can fish to one another. LOL!! Wonder how that would have played out had there not been cameras on them.

I have fished around friends that were in different boats before but NEVER have we played bumper boats.

Haynes was already making his mind up before this morning. I heard he had already said no more Costas. Hes a different guy fishing for the love of it and still works hard at another job. Ya he could've handled it different and certainly caught some fish elsewhere but that tells me it's not about the fish at this point or even Lambert. He said if he has to race to a spot with a faster boat just to compete, it's not for him anymore. Can't fault him for that.

Agreed

You have a point, but he could have handled it better. He still finished 12th too with 0 fish today, it's a shame.

Dang someone said he caught 30 today? Outta curiosity did he move spots like he said he was? Or stayed on the same spot...

Lambert caught most of his fish off the starting spot but caught a 9 off a different place.

Sounds like Haynes just got burned out. Today was just icing on the cake. It doesn't excuse his actions but it does explain it. Sometime you get to the point where you just don't give a damn. Must be the case because he sure walked away from a lot today...

What a big baby. Smh

We all know what opinions are like...
