Who, among TFF'ers are committed judges for the TTBC on Conroe in October? What do you hope to learn? Also, how are final day judges determined when the field is narrowed to the top 10 Anglers? I will be a judge, and this is my first year.

I will be a judge this year and CAN NOT wait!!! I just want to learn anything and everything I can without getting in the way or bothering my pro. I was also curious as to how they were gonna choose the judges for Sunday.

I'm in for my 2nd yr

How did they choose the judges for sunday last year?

Seems I remember they picked a few that Tim had past experience with.

I did it last year. I drew Edwin Evers the first day and Russ Lane the second.I thought that was a pretty good draw. No complaints.

I am in for this year as well.

I'm in for year 2 as well and very much looking forward to it! Last year the Sunday judges all had previous judging experience at the TTBC at Fork so I would assume the same would hold true this year.

Its really a great experience and I hope it stays at Conroe for a few years.

I'm going to be judging also for the 2nd year..I was with tommy biffle on fri and joe Thomas on sat last year.They want the judges for sunday to have multiple years as a judge..Both days i stayed on the back deck on the leaning post and just watched. We had two way radios to communacate with the weigh in headquarters, but the pros didnt want to hear the talking..i know both days my pros got curious and wanted to know the weights that were being caught...

Last year I was just coming off of shoulder surgery and passed on judging. I volunteered and worked in the TPWD area, lots of fun and met some great people.

This year a buddy and I plan on being on the water watching and learning.

This will be my first year as a judge as well, courtesy of JRankin

Rankin,
Yea, that was me in the Blue Skeeter 22i/Yamaha with the 2 poles. Biffle was my pick to win, before it started. I followed Biffle all three days, and had him to myself the first two days. He rolled through the same spots on day two after struggling on day 1. Only difference was 20+ lbs and 2nd day after the front. I wanted to see what changes he would make on day two, after having a bad day on day 1. I am looking forward to whichever pro I draw, cause all of them had to be good to get there.

how do you sign up to be a judge?

Would like to know this as well

A tournament this big, you have to know some people who know some people who robbed some people...

+1

yea he didnt do so good on fri.. but he he told me that the fish were there and that he was going back to that spot..He told me that he would wack um.. he did.. i talked to biffle on sat back stage and he said " i told you i would catch them " i could hear over the radio that he was catching good fish.. Also since it is catch and release they get to weigh 14in fish and get to keep one fish over 21 in" for TV purposes"
