My money would be on Fujita

This! Fished this weekend as well and caught them about every way. Even found a bunch on beds. Big slots. They will smash them like usual when they show up. Plus the weather Friday, Saturday, and Sunday is nice!!!
I expect 3-4 century belts and 2 bags maybe more over 30 lbs. and lots of 20 lbs bags.

Crappie jigs and fairy wands.

Will be won fishing traditional methods (non ffs) with 107 lbs. Second and third with FFS 95-98 lbs. If top 10 all fish with FFS, the demand for new tech will skyrocket next week! Rest of us will keep chunking yellow spinnerbaits and beetlespins next to stumps while wearing NB gear!

113.6

Heads will explode if it's won on the bank. The "yeah but's" will be plentiful....

110# on a jerker and a big swimmer

105lbs 14oz.

It would be neat to see both methods duke it out on day 4, better yet someone win by doing both.

115-118 is my guess. Might we see an early topwater bite Sat/Sun?

I don’t know what the weights will be but these guys work their tails off during the practice days.
Should be very exciting.

^^^This. Thursdays weather may play a determining factor in total weights.

This is what I’m hoping for-Seeing Lee pop those fish on a spook was fun to watch.

I was at Fork yesterday, just driving around, fished from bank for about an hour in a couple of places ... interesting watching where these guys were fishing in different areas of the lake both deep and shallow. Watched a boat coming from a long ways shut it down and start graphing... then see something he must have liked and circle around.. half an hour later another boat did the exact same thing at the same place. From my hour of fishing shallow, I predict the ffs guys will prevail.

I'm thinking won't break 100. First couple of days weights gonna be 18-20 and weekend 25-30. 93 for the win.
