Snivel Snivel, Whine Whine,   Biffle, what a cry baby.  Skeet was 500 yds down the bank from him.  Maybe Biffle should come fish some Washington tournements where 50yds is more like 50ft with boats all over the top of ya.  Very exciting watching yesterday, can't wait for the telecast tonight.

After watching the final weigh in on the internet, my man Skeet was so close (unlike horse shoes though).  It shows ounces do count....Old man Boyd Duckett did it right, he won it as a home boy......Go Bama 


Now to the next one.  Anyone wanting to do the ESPN fantasy fishing site, I created a group for Western Washington if you want to join in....Thanks

That was down to the wire.  I hope they come out with a free dvd like they did in 05 when you renew your suscription to the magazine.  Pretty good coverage, should be a FUN year.  My predictions, G-Man is going to turn it UP.

I ain't gonna watch it.  I've seen all the clips 2-7 times already. LOL!  I mean, how many repeats can they have in 2 days anyway?!

Gads, wasn't the ESPN coverage just awful this year or what?!  What happened to the live broadcasts like they had in the past few years?  It sucked eggs big time!

I don't think the coverage was as bad as the last few years. But they do repeat a lot of stuff. The internet feed was cool. Nothing beats being out and fishing though. ha

Congrats to Mr Duckett...too bad for Skeet! It was a pretty good Classic!

I'm kinda torn on the running weight totals though.  It takes away alittle of the excitment of not knowing whose gonna win unless its within a few oz.  Seems like the coverage of all the big time tournaments is going through some type of evolution.  I like a little more fishing action and anticipation and less replays of DQ's.

Well, the Internet feed was good, but the coverage on ESPN.... well if you saw it only once, then you'd love it. If you watched the other 4 times, you'd notice a ton of repeats of the same stories over and over.  Swindle's move was shown at least 15-20 times, KVD's story 2-3 times, same with Ike's story, Skeet's story, Kerchall's story... well, every story.  In fact, some shows were complete and total repeats of previous shows in their entirety.

ESPN touted "10 hours" of coverage, but really it was about 2 hrs of material repeated over and over again.  The rest were repeats or that day's weigh-in coverage.  Far less than the 19+ hours of live coverage in previous years.

I can understand basketball dominated the prime times, but I don't understand all the repeats of the same material over and over....even the commercials.  It was painful. I found myself turning off the coverage because it was so annoying.
