It did warm up very fast though.

Feel sorry for G-Man, lost a good one on the rip-rap. Really let out some frustrations. He made it back above the cut line, but last I saw he dropped below it again.

Guys in red are surely sweating the guys in green right now.... can you imagine knowing that KVD is one fish away from knocking you out of contention?

You guys that don't like this format can say what you want but these cut days and the last 30 minutes of fishing is as good as it gets for entertainment value. Beats a weigh in (where you already really know the winner) hands down every time.

Exactly, this last 30 minutes is what I really like, seeing guys make the right decisions and seeing guys spin out.... Some guys truly crack under the pressure.

How about that! Klein with one a few minutes out and makes the cut. And Montgomery with a 6 lber jumped about 8-10 people. That was a good finish. Just knew Swindle was gonna capture one cranking that rip rap at the end.

Yep, awesome watching that four way split screen. KVD wanted to meltdown and got his composure and delivered a pretty good recap. Solid stuff.

I saw that..... slapping that jerk bait on the water, I though he was about to have a high speed come apart and go all Ike on camera!

Swindle had a mild meltdown after his 2nd landing penalty of the day in the 2nd period and losing multiple fish, not a direct quote but the rant went something like this "cold water, losing big fish, losing 4-5 big fish at the classic, all these events before June, I got 2 more years of this?" The camera then cut away

Seeing these guys live under that pressure is fantastic.

So how�d it finish? Can�t get the top 20 to load

That was more than a mild meltdown, he just stopped short of saying he regrets signing the 3 year contract

Couldn't watch but was listening in the truck while driving. Frustrating is phone kept refreshing and going back 20 minutes in time. Completely missed the last few minutes. Wish Swindle would have made it, but was happy to see Montgomery make the cut.

all 5 of my group A anglers made it thru to the next round. Way to go Andy, Fletcher, Jacob, Michael, and Wesley!!
