I downloaded the MLF app, connected my phone to the WiFi at work. I'm streaming the Live but listening to it through a headphone more than watching it.

There is a big difference in what they would have had in a 5 fish tournament that can't be compared to what their best 5 would be at these events because most of them are fishing differently than they would in a standard event. You would have seen more guys flipping, throwing topwater or taking more time to look for fish on beds knowing they only need to get 5. It is kind of the mindset of fishing for points or just a check and/or fishing to win events. In Florida and Texas, you know that you need some serious weight to contend in a 5 fish tournament any time of the year. It is also similar to guide trips... the client that wants to book a guide to catch a 8-10lber is not typically going to catch 20+ bass a day. Yet when you fish tournaments in Florida or East Texas, you better have that mentality to fish for 5-10 bites targeting big ones or you are usually looking up at one of the hammers with a high 20-low 30lb sack while you have 10-13lbs but caught 30 that day.

Well he's gonna have to beat that 1lb 15oz average.

10:00 (central time) and 6 still with the goose egg on the board.

Clark, I see your point and after thinking about it, I agree with it, mostly. I'd still like to see what the BPTs best 5 each day weigh. What was the average daily weight at the Harris Chain Open last week I wonder, did they fish 2 days or 3? I think it was 2. If so, 20-23 lbs a day was top 5, except for Stephens who ran away with it. I'm betting a lot of the BPT guys yesterday who had 6 lbers in their bags had 20-21 lbs for their best 5, which is close to being on on pace with the Open on Harris Chain (minus Stephens). Maybe they caught 2-3 lbers all day and lucked into a good fish. Who knows, food for thought though.
I've never fished down there, is Kissimmee better or worse than Harris Chain?

That's not their best 5. That's their big fish with 4 of the average weight of the total caught. The guys with a 6 could have 3-4 5 lbers and a bunch of 2 lbers, bringing their average down. And it's not accurate either, your method should be a lower total weight. You have to subtract their big fish from the average if you're going to guess like that.

I didn't come up with it, its just linked to where I found it. Doesn't really matter anyways they guys would be fishing different if they were going after just 5 anyways.

This is official, order of the top 5 in the above spreadsheat was right but weights were not

Tharp 22-9
Birge 21-9
Monroe 21-8
Ott Defoe 18-11
MDJ 16-12
Howell 16-8

One thing that is consistent, even the guys that talk about how much they hate it are also watching.

Tru dat!

They seem to have a better broadcast today, but still need to work on muting different channels to eliminate back ground noise or people talking over each other. (looking at you Marty Stone). Overall good improvement from day 1.

Sprague is holding his own!

Good to see Jeff catching a few
