Sure got tired of seeing nothing but “Nitros” but Im sure well see BCB out there.Dave, I guess BassPro/Nitro is a main sponsor. However, Ike will be sporting a Margay when he goes out. Cant wait to see that. Also, like seeing these guys fish out of smaller boats. Not a major challenge for them. They could fish out of an inflatable and catchem as long as they have a graph/GPS and Navionics chip. I am amazed how good all these guys are (top to bottom). Also, the instant leader board format to me has a great future. Best tournament fishing drama Ive seen. Minutes and seconds to go Ehler jumps up the leader board to pass Martens for fourth and final spot to advance. That was some great PPV fishing to see. Only one guy depended on the A-Rig. He did beat down the field pretty good however KVD said he learned from days event he should have stayed on his Deep Cranking pattern to boost his weight. He could have because he was on them. He had something like 21 lbs the first quarter and was lapping the field. He did pull back some on purpose to try other patterns. He realized that was a mistake. Next round for all the qualifiers (past round one) gets even more interesting. There will be a designated target weight that has to be reached and the first four to get reach that mark will advance. Now that will be an interesting twist. Glad I got the PPV.
