Todd, Terry and Jason picked their favorites for tomorrow's FLW Tour event on Lake Hartwell in South Carolina. And not surprisingly, we had several overlapping picks. If you're not sure who to put on your
fantasy fishing roster, maybe this will help. What do you guys think of the picks and let us know who you would pick on our
facebook fan page!
Todd’s Picks
Brent Ehrler –
How can you not pick him? Last year he won every third tournament. This is the
third FLW Tour event. You do the math.
Bryan Thrift – He makes me pay every
time I don’t pick him by doing well in the tournament. Heck he won the last
one. So guess what Bryan? You won’t be out of my lineup again this year.
Koby Krieger – Rumor has it
that 3/4 the field will be sight fishing. If it comes down to a site fishing
beat down, Koby will rise to the top as he’s won of the best sight-fishing
anglers on the Tour.
Troy Morrow – Home Field
Advantage pick on this one. Morrow knows more spots and stretches and how the
fish behave on this lake better than anyone in the field. He’ll do well here.
Chris Baumgardner – Another Carolinas stick in mix on this pick. He’s good around the spawn and he’s been relatively
quiet so I expect to see him back in the top 10 mix.
Terry’s Picks
Brent Ehrler -
Based on last year’s numbers, he’s due for another win. Brent doesn’t take
missing top 10 cuts lightly. We expect the dominant angler to be back on track
with the good fishing this week.
Dave Lefebre -
Lefebre is one of the best FLW Tour pros and can catch them anywhere. He proved
that by dominating his nemesis fishery at the last event. If it’s sight fishing
or power fishing which it looks to be, Lefebre will have back-to-back top 10s.
Glenn Browne -
In the last few years, Browne has become a major stick on the FLW Tour and his confidence
is high in this one.
Terry Bolton –
this tournament plays well to his shallow water strengths. If a spinnerbait becomes
a factor in this event which I think it will, Bolton will be a force to reckon
with.
Randall Tharp –
Tharp is a stud on these types of
fisheries and he’s proven himself already this year in the prespawn and spawn
tournaments.
Jason’s Picks
Troy Morrow – All-American
champion Morrow is the local favorite. He in fact lives on Hartwell. I figure
he has a few pet bass he can go catch anytime he wants. And he sounds confident
on this one. Rumor has it he went out and fished a Jackpot tournament on
Tuesday and won it fishing “his other stuff” he didn’t need for the FLW Tour
event. Yikes.
Bryan Thrift –
Uh yeah, that’s right I left him out of my picks in the last one. Go ahead and
say it. I won’t make that mistake anymore this season. Where does the guy struggle?
It’s certainly not on a lake this close to home and not when the bass are
biting this well.
Dave Lefebre –
Uh oh, Lefebre made it out of Northwest Arkansas with a top-10. Can you say
momentum? He’s a top sight fisherman (which will play heavily in this event)
and he can power fish shallow as good as anyone as his track record shows. He
will double up on top 10 finishes.
Terry Bolton –
He’s due for a breakout tournament and he seems to do well in years where the
FLW Tour visits Kentucky Lake for some reason. People overlook how good a
shallow power fisherman he is. This tournament is setting up just like one does
when he does well.
Clark
Wendlandt – Let’s see. Three sight-fishing tournament FLW
Tour wins. Yeah that about sums up this pick. Clark can run and gun in sight
fishing events with the best in the business. And he’s got a good power game
too. Both will play here.
