Great pick
Looks like Cliff will wrap it up today
He leads by 9 pounds today and he's had 21 pound bags both days

Great pick. Looks like Cliff will wrap it up today. He leads by 9 pounds today and he's had 21 pound bags both days

A good prediction, however some have been known fold under pressure on the last day. Consummate professionals who have been there before have folded on the last day. Don't count out KVD, but definitely don't count Ike out either. Ike has a better shot. Today you swing for the fences.

he only has 2 fish now.  Most of the others have a limit.  Paulinick is leading by a few oz.

He was supposed to be throwing something cool like a vision 110 not a plain old football jig! Wasn't sure he was going to pull it off!

I kinda thought the same but he said to win it he had to slow down and throw a football jig with only 2 hours left....lol

So I ordered you a nice 1/2oz V and M jig... with my choice of color... (Green)

If you would be so kind to send me you address in a PM Ill be happy to send you your winning Jig.

I'm surprised he won. That has to be a nice feeling to cement your profressional fishing career this way! I don't know much about him because I've never talked to him. He's very quiet and I hadn't seen him smile much, if at all until the pictures of his Bassmaster Classic victory (I would be smiling too!!).

I look at his stats and I guess I didn't realize how consistent he has been. My only real interaction with Cliff Pace was when he was fishing the other side of the same small canal that David Watson was fishing the first day of Classic 2011. I was with David and we were both watching Cliff too to see if he was catching the same size fish, how many and if they were bigger. Funny that you run 100-some miles to Venice where there are a zillion canals and you still end up with company in 1 small canal.

Apparently, the change in weather sent the bigger bass packing because both boaters were landing lots of bass, but small to small keepers. After a while, Cliff Pace motored up and said, "I didn't come this far to catch fish this size" and off he roared. That's about as much as I know about Cliff Pace. He didn't smile, but it almost seemed like he was offering some advice to David. I've always wondered about that?
