How's it going Dez? Congrats on your Hawg hunters win!

I think Mark Rose has a good shot at the cup this year but I will be rooting for Hobbs.

Ron will win with 59-14 after a 20lb+ day 1 bag

Chris Zaldain 2nd

Brent Ehrler 3rd

Cody Meyer 4th

All the Arkansas boys will be left scratching their heads, and wondering how them western folk catch em suspended bass with such ease! I do think Ron will go green on day 1 because he can, and then play conservative with spots the rest of the tournament.

I will be rooting for Ron from start to finish and definitely feel that he has just as good of a shot to win as any of the rest of those guys!! I also think that Shinichi Fukae, Cody Meyer and Brent Ehler will be in the hunt.

Dude Shinichi is hardcore with his Dropshot rod , not too mention his favorite dropshot bait is also the one i use around here all the time ..lol

hmmm Cody and brent are both some westcoast studs but they arent use to fishing lakes like washington and chelan on a regular and thats were Ron will have an edge on them IMO ..

Im surprized no one is talking about Stacy King , dont count the oldman out he is always a threat on tour .. (time will tell ,said the scale !!!!!)

I say top 10...

Cody Meyer, Scott Suggs, Brent Erhler, Wesley Strader, Ron Shuffield, Ron Hobbs, Larry Nixon, Mike Reynolds, Robert Lee, Clifford Pirch...

The bite, from what I hear is better this year so I think we'll be surprised on who's up top... I think the shallow water guys might have a better time then in the past do to the colder winters we've been having and the delayed panfish spawn. I picked some wild cards as I'd like to see a few things happen in their careers... and just have a few hunches.

Cliffords got the experience fishing trees and has his best year going, Robert Lee's probably the most experienced bream spawn guy and if he sticks to his roots and the bite is there he should do very well, Mike Reynolds is crazy cool and his ultra blue mono-line is key, Wesley Strader is a wild card with past experience with a win there before, Shuffield will be in the hunt always and his record shows it, Hobbs has got the instinct but he shines when the bite is tough, Ehrler has the new born advantage and he's just good, Scott has home town advantage and knows that lake the best to include how to win the FWC there, Cody has to many high finishes and is due one plus a great guy... maybe a real wild card to look out for is someone like Stetson Blaylock... he's really tuned in this year and I beat he's spent alot of time there.

Can't wait to watch the on the water coverage on their website!

who know's but I wish Ron would win were I could borrow a dollar!

Crap! just realized Scott Suggs didn't make the championship.... I'll trade him for Shin!

Good call because Shin allready has a 5lber, and that is a game changer! Ron blasted off last, which I'm sure is where he want's to be. To bad FLW's coverage blows!

Sounds like the BreamBed bite might be big factor ...

I know for a fact that Ron has a bait just for that situation , If that bait gets 5 bites today he will be in the top 5 IMO ..
