Monsoor or Clunn which win was more impressive?

Monsoor or Clunn which win was more impressive? - 08/01/20 10:09 PM

One for the old guys. Tom Monsoor just won the FLW super at age 71, Clunn won an elite series event at age 69 in 2016 both had very deep fields. Clunn also won an elite last year but I don't hold as much weight to that one because the field was mostly newcomers with BPT being created.

71year old for sure, he's older and closer to the wrong side of the ball

February 12,2019 at the age 72 Clunn won the BASS Elite. He also moved like he was 30 landing a huge fish.

Monsoor deserved that win. Guy had a tremendous amount of top finishes there.

I call it a tie. Awesome wins for both of them

Glad to see both get a W but Clunn...
Monsoor was fishing his home waters

But Clunn had a smaller field almost half the size, I would say a tie

Clunn's was more impressive. Monsoor won on his home waters he has been fishing for 60 years or so.

Monsoor comes across so much more amiable than Clunn. No doubt Clunn’s career is a top three in the history of the sport, but seeing Tom Monsoor just having a great time out there and sharing his thoughts was cool. I must say if Clunn was on camera “ just sharing his thoughts” it would be a bit too cerebral.
I’m a simple guy. I’d bet Tom is too.
Great win for the geezers!

I’m going to sit on the fence, too. They’re both equally impressive.

Clunn, not to mention his 10+ a few years ago was cool to see.

Monsoor was pretty crafty at day 3 and 4 weigh ins. Day 3 they had Zack Birge leading on paper until the weigh in where he ended up in 1st place. On day 4 the leaderboard showed Jacob leading by a pound but at the weigh in Tom beat him by over a pound. Crafty old Tom was under reporting his weight on purpose.

But at his age how many more chances are you going to get to win $125,000?

Did you see him on camera. He wanted to give up all his secret baits probably because it was for his sponsors and how many times does he get on camera in front of a really big audience.

Go for it old man!

Tom was really delighted with his win . Sure was good to watch the old man get it done on his home waters .

Clunn has always been my hero. We are the same age. When I moved to Conroe tin 1980 he 1st dsy I was there Rick and Randy Fite were eating hamburgers at MsDonalds. I was star struck. Clunn for the win. Both fishermen were class acts.

Don't see how these 2 compare. No doubt Monsoor is a great tournament fisherman, but Clunn is a legend. I don't think Monsoor ever dominated like Clunn did.

He's not comparing their careers. Just them winning at their age

Both impressive. Clunn edges out in the "more impressive" category since he didn't do it on home waters. Monsoor had the home field advantage.

Both Impressive.

Just goes to show...don't count us "olds" out just yet...:) You youngsters will be there some day...:)

Clunn kinda bugs me....he's too cerebral when he's talking...kind makes me think he's too impressed with himself doesn't seem like somebody I'd have a beer with. But then again he might be the nicest guy in the world and just comes across the wrong way for some people.

I had a conversation with one of his observers at one of the Elite events in Texas, and your about spot on, grumpy.

Probably depends on which Clunn you get that day.
