Post Classic Notes
2007-02-27 22:43:01 Just cannot give enough Kudos to Boy Duckett. He got it done in a big way like no home state angler ever has. He is now Bass Fishing Immortality!It will be interesting to see how he does on the Elite Series, he definitely should have some momentum and confidence to take to Amistad. It will be nice to have the defending champ actually fishing the Elite Series this year.I am also guessing that the Class ic win could be a distraction for his Rookie Elite Series season, only time will tell.As most of you saw, Duckett did most of his damage with a Crawfish Bill Lewis Original Rat-L-Trap 1/2 oz and Berkley Chigger Craw. I did notice on the coverage he was basically crawling his trap, kind of slow rolling it. He then employed the craw for punching the grass mats.Skeet Reese ends up a bridesmaid but had a great tournament, he should do well on Amistad and the California swing.Honestly, I am kind of glad KVD did not win, maybe I am just starting to rese...

KVD's Classic Lipless Crank Choice
2007-02-27 22:43:01 Seems to be quite a buzz around what lipless crank Kevin VanDam was using in the Class ic . Here it is.....Strike King Red Eye Shad Crankbaits I believe he was using the #06 color - Gold Black Back and prefers that color when everyone else is throwing chrome/blue back But then again he did not win, it was Boyd Duckett's Original Rat-L-Trap 1/2 oz that got it done in the end....RichRichLindgren.com Rich's Bassin' Forum Bass Fishing Tackle Blog If you enjoy this Blog, consider making a PayPal donation to help keep it going.

KVD Storms back on Day 2
2007-02-26 10:41:02 KVD storms back and G-MAN takes a DQ, very exciting Day 2 at Lay Lake. Also Congrats to Pam Martin-Wells on her victory at the WBT Championships, in case you missed it, she made special mention and thanks to her Stay'n Charge system KVD is a stud, enough said, but I do not think he is a shoe in, one big bite can give anyone in the Top 10 a shot. If KVD can get that bite, its goodnight for everyone else. So tune into the live weigh-ins this afternoon to see if he gets it down, it appears he has an 11lb limit as off 11am CST. Also check the Classic Blog and Leaderboard throughout the day.See the comments on yesterday's posts for more on the Swindle DQ and Video.I am kind of pulling for "Mac" Terry McWilliams, from the Federation Nation, to get it done, as we finished only 2oz apart at the Northern Divisional back in Sept.9.

2007-02-24 22:40:02 Man there was a ton of fish caught today and many a nice bags. Boyd Duckett was a stud today and a fantasy steal.

2007-02-23 22:39:02 So I have jumped on Bassmaster.com and BASSinsider this morning and there seems to quite a few options.First off, you can see video clips from several pros here, this morning some had sounds issues, others were fineAlso, if you act quick, there is a live chat with anglers on the water right now (9am - 10:30am CST)There is also a Class ic Blog that seems to be updated and has some semi-live info, for instance Biffle has had engine troubles & Russ Lane is reported to already have a limit along with Jeff Reynolds, I knew Lane would not let down my Fantasy team Also tune in this afternoon for Live Streaming Web Video & RealTime Leaderboard of the weigh-in, I watched it last year and it was very solid. Look for it around 4:45PM CST I also found a cool piece on BassFan.com about the 6 Federation Nation qualifiers, nice little read.Enjoy, and oh yeah, get your DVR's fired up so you do not miss any of the coverage on ESPN2.RichRichLindgren.com Rich's Bass...

Jottings from Presidentts' Day
2007-02-20 10:36:02 Where to start, where to start....Congrats to the Jr. Anglers who are World Champs!!! South Africa's Jeffrey Toplis (14 years old), and Kentucky's Kalem Tippett (17, pictured to right) persevered through Sunday's less then optimum condistions at Alabama's Logan Martin to win their respective age divisions at the 4th annual Junior World Bassmaster Championship. With the win, each angler took home a fully rigged bass boat & $5,000 in scholarship money & a trip to Disney World. Unfortunately the qualifier from my jr. club did not have a great, did not weigh a fish, buts sounds like he learned a ton from fishing two days with Mike Wurm and look forwards to watching the rest of the Classic events this week. Knowing Cody, this will not be his last trip to the JWC Also, congrats to Aaron Hastings on his big win at Lake Travis this week, I believe this is his first major victory, I hope to have pattern & lure information later this week.BassFanArmy.com open...

JWC Updates & Skeet Reese Terminated
2007-02-18 22:34:02 Got a phone call last night from our Gopher Jr. angler (Cody Sieben) who is competing in the BASS Jr. World Championships today, he is fishing with Mike Wurm. They practiced yesterday and found some fish and is feeling confident and caught some fish on the Ikey Ball Buster Heads that I gave him before he left.Also, on Bassmaster.com today, there is a preview of the tourney and Arkansas' Mike Wurm said Dan Swenson and Cody Sieben "will be challenging the Elite Series pros in a few years." Wow, what a compliment!!!Also newsworthy, Rapala who recently dumped Skeet Reese from the Term inator team, it was said hey needed to trim their budget, but I am guessing because Lucky Craft is one of Skeet's main sponsors, they are a direct competitor to Rapala. "It's a brand I believe in, and it's the first time I've ever lost a sponsor," he added. "It feels weird.

Tournament Schedule, FLW Fantasty Bass Fishing and more
2007-02-17 04:31:01 First of all my 2007 Tour nament Schedule is pretty much set, got all the entry fees sent in, except for the Pan-O-Prog, they have not opened registration, but in checking their website, they have finally got last years pictures up, so I added them to my Tournament Entry from the Pan-O-Prog. Anyways it looks to be another ambitious year on the water, but that is a good thing.CLARK WENDLANDT got off to a great start on FLW Season Opener on Lake Travis, TX. He established a nearly 4lb lead. Its not clear how he caught, but he made it sound as though he did not burn his fish and that only calm winds would hamper his bite.

My Newest Toys from Optimum Baits - Part 1
2007-02-14 22:28:01 I snapped a few pics of my latest shipment of baits from Opti mum. This is the 7" Optimum Original Series Swimbait in the package - Silver Shad. Also here is the 7" Optimum Original in a Shad Color. The Original Optimum is considered a middle of the road workhorse. This bait was built from the shorelines of Lake Casitas and Lake Castaic in Southern California. It didn't take long for the rest of the world to realize its potency! These swimbaits have the ability to cover a relatively wide spectrum of the water column, especially with a little practice and familiarizing yourself with how these baits fall. The Original Optimum swimbaits stand out as the best swimbait because they produce rapid, drastic changes in direction, and quick flaring when pulled off structure or cover. Perfect for slow rolling off the bottom. We designed this bait with an option in the belly to attach stinger hooks. When fishing open water, adding an additional belly hook can incr...

Misc. Bass Fishing Ramblings
2007-02-14 04:26:02 Got a couple things to share, none of them important enough to get their own post:1. Congrats to Juanita Robinson on the big WBT season opener win, but I am disappointed with the coverage, cannot find any info on baits or patterns, I am not sure why Bass Fan does not cover these.2. Got my Stay'NCharge system installed into my boat last night, needless to say I will never have to worry about running out of juice during a long day on the water again. More on that later, if you cannot wait, drop me a line & I will fill you in.3. Got my latest order in from Optimum Baits today, looking to get pics up in the next day or two for you all to check out. Got several swimbaits, some new furbit frogs, cool topwaters and few other surprises 4. Just saw Edwin Evers new ride on BassFan.com in their Dock Talk, it is a must see.

Minnesota bass anglers crowned top Federation for 2006
2007-02-09 04:22:02 Minneapolis - February 7, 2007 Minnesota bass anglers crowned top Federation for 2006. The Minnesota B.A.S.S. Federation Nation was named Federation of the Year at the recent B.A.S.S. Federation Nation Championship held in Gadsden, AL. The prestigious annual award goes to the state organization that best puts together a well-rounded program involving conservation, youth and community service. "This is really a great award and we are honored to receive it", said Federation president Paul Becka. "Our goal was always just to run the group as professionally as possible in a politically difficult year, but it is also nice to get recognition for our youth and conservation activities." The Minnesota B.A.S.S. Federation Nation is compromised of 400+ amateur bass anglers of all ages and genders from Minnesota and bordering states. Besides fishing competitively, its members participate in a variety of activities that benefit the outdoors. Federation regi... More About: Crow , Bass , Owned , Crowned

I have never been a fan of this organization nor will I ever be.Check out Jim Braaten's Sportsman's Blog and read about how PETA was caught for killing animals and dumping them in a NC dumpster.See here where the Governor of Colorado calls "PETA are a bunch of Losers and frauds"More good stuff on Outdoors with Othmar Vohringer and his findings on PETAand one more fun site....

2007 Bassmasters Classic Field is Set
2007-01-29 10:13:01 Yesterday concluded with the final day of the 2007 Bass masters Series Championship on Lake Guntersville. Russell Colwell of Baltimore, MD surged back to overcome the leader even though he was not allowed to weigh his largest fish, because he inadvertently brought 6 fish to the scales. Even without that 6 lb fish he still had 16-02lb and overtook Day 2 leader Todd Lee who only managed one fish.

Fed Champs on ESPN2, Weekend Series Day 2, and Fantasy Fishing
2007-01-27 22:11:02 Just got done watching the Federation Nation Championships on the deuce this morning, couple takeaways:1. It was great seeing the elation and true excitement for the 6 guys that made the Classic2. It was cool seeing two guys that I fished against in the Northern Regional on TV (Terry McWilliams & Mike Mattis)3. I thought the coverage was better, at minimum we saw the top 2 guys in each division on TV, which was way better then last year, it seems ESPN made a effort to improve that You can also see the updated Day 2 standings from the Weekend Series Championships on the web. Todd Lee from Oklahoma brought in an amazing 31-3 lbs which included a 10-15 and 9-14 pair of giants (picutred below). Also of note, there are still 2 Minnesota anglers (Leifermann & Borkowski) in the Top 12 and those 12 will fish today for the title and one will be fishing the Classic in 4 weeks.

I enjoyed myself a little more this year then last, but that may have been because I had lower expectations. I am not sure why the show is so slow these days, I am guessing once a show starts to turn south it is hard to get it turned back around.The highlight was watching all the stuff Dave bought after I looked at it Dave got a really nice deal on a Shimano 2500 Stradic Mg that I almost bought at Reed's (Thanks Drew). He also spent quite a bit with Rick at Pro Tour Baits. I actually bought a few things as well.

I have already come across a few critics that are mocking the potential of a bass movie, and the necessity of two in the works at the same time, but how much different will it really be from "Days of Thunder" or "Talladega Nights - The Ballad of Ricky Bobby" ?

Secret Weapon Launches New Product for 2007
2007-01-03 21:46:02 Secret Weapon Sidearm Spinnerbait We've raised the bar on spinnerbait versatility and performance with our Secret Weapon Sidearm Spinnerbait. Customizing your spinnerbait has never been easier -- or more effective!A must have for your Bass Fishing Arsenal!! Like our original QuickStrike Spinnerbait, the Secret Weapon Sidearm employs free-floating, interchangeable, in-line spinner blades. It creates a unique flash and vibration with its two side-by-side spinner blades. This arrangement creates even more fish-attracting commotion in the water than tandem blades mounted in series. It also creates additional lift, enabling you to retrieve this lure at slower speeds than is possible with conventional spinnerbaits. Great for fishing above submerged vegetation or slow-rolling along the bottom, the blades twirl at the slightest turn of your reel handle.Unlike other dual-blade spinnerbaits, the Sidearm's V-frame blade bar pivots freely, allowing the lure to pass easily thro...

They are used, from Japan, got them for about $100 a piece shipped.

Patoka Revisited & Looking forward to 2007
2007-01-03 21:46:02 Hey all,This post serves a couple purposes:1: To revisit Patoka and talk about some key things that worked for me.2: Preview improvements of entries and improved speed of infoThe following pictures are the two baits that were most productive for me in practice and during the tournament at the Weekend Series Divisional on Patoka Reservoir. As you may know, I did not have a terrific tournament, but these baits were productive and I think I just did not find enough quality areas to put them to work during the tournament. Review tournament entries here. The first pic is a Lucky Craft Flat Mini DR Crankbait in a splatter back pattern. This was my best lure in practice and in tournament for catching keeper fish as well as several other fish that were close to measuring. As you see I almost always change out the from treble and put on a red treble hook. This was my second best lure, I caught my first keeper in practice on it as well a...
