Wow, its crazy that the big fish at the Washington tourny was bigger than Potholes. I would have never guessed that.

Anyone know the story on the 4lb penalty for Ech/Kromm? Late or dead fish?

I was wondering the story as well. It couldn't have been dead fish because it would have read 5/1 under the # fish/live category. Look how much more money Conklin/Ohl won over Steiner/Lacey for having the bigger fish to break the tie breaker in their flight.

I imagine they must have been late to accrue a 4lb penalty. Thats terrible they had a really nice bag!

They were late and I thought I heard Aaron talking about boat problems but I don't know that for certain.

I heard it was a battery issue. That sucks for sure.

What was the pattern? Sure was a lot of really quality bags! Were there any quality smallies brought in?

I only talked to one person who said they had 17 lbs. of smallmouth..but Smallies were definitely not a factor in this tournament. We made the mistake of fishing for smallmouth first, and then only fished for 4 hours for LM and lost one that wouldve got us to that 18lb. + mark. It seems after about April, early May just not enough weight on those Smallies to make an impact.

We made that same mistake Nick. I busted a couple of 4's in pre fish, but we couldn't get anything over 3lbs as far as smallies go. We should have went back way earlier than we did.

Aaron and Dave were 4 minutes late due to a dead battery issue I hear. That's an expensive battery...
Lot's of quality largemouth weighed, and overall the seems like the green fishing was pretty wide open. Topwater, spinnerbaits, senkos, jigs, tubes, brush hogs, it didn't seem to matter much. We were on a bunch of fish guarding fry so whatever you threw in there would get bit it seemed.
