Smiley goes from fifth to first in Co-Angler

BROKEN ARROW, Okla. — Wagoner, Okla., Elite Series pro Tommy Biffle built on his 9-pound, 15-ounce lead with a five-fish stringer weighing 11-8 for a three-day total of 45-13, good enough to win the Bass Pro Shops Central Open in Muskogee, Okla., by more than 8 pounds. While the win was expected, it didn't come easy.

Janet Parker was running an Aluminum boat.....I haven't checked the point standings but I hear she has put herself in a position to qualify for the classic.....

With 2 daughters I love to see the girls kick the guys butts..... ;D

Get these women out there fishing.....One good way to grow the sport...

You have to fish all 3 in one division and win one of them to qualify for the classic now. 

I'm sure there will be more reading.  More interpretation of the winner breaking the rules again.

People have to earn their way no matter who they are, but I always enjoy seeing some new names and some variety fishing the big events. The sport can always use an injection of enthusiasm and hope for all the upcoming people who hope they get a shot. I have nothing against seeing many of the same old names in the big event year after year after year but change can be good.

We have a fair number of women angler members here and I'd love to see more of them more active in many of our discussions!

All I can do is repeat my earlier comment - oh boy...
