2025 Bassmaster Elite Season

From what I saw Trey had his area all to himself. There were plenty of fish there. I believe he caught most all his weigh fish while sitting in one reral small area. Rather not it will hold up for all 4 days or not, who knows. My guess is it will not. He can probably get another good limit from it tomorrow though. My guess is weights will go up a little tomorrow. My guess is will take 26 Lbs to make the Top 50 cut to fish on Sat. Only local guy doing well seems to be Przekurat. Downey is in 51st. He will need a good day tomorrow to stay in the top 50 to fish on Sat. after a decent finish last week Seth totally bombed today. He only ended up weighing 4

BassMaster live is showing coverage of the 4 anglers fishing tight together.
The 4 anglers are 1,2,3 and 10 on the leader board.
They are fishing a tight channel below a small dam.
Pretty cool to see the 4 anglers working together to fish a small area.

Scott Martin DQ’d from Okeechobee today for the same reason. Apparently getting unsolicited information.

I did some digging into this.

Apparently he asked someone at a landing if the water was clear or dirty. Bassmaster only permits the use of public information which is available to all anglers for a specific time frame prior to an event. Okeechobee is known for having large portions of clear and dirty water, with bass congregating in the areas of clear water.

He self reported his own violation, was DQd for the event, and was also fined. I think it’s a little ridiculous for such a minor violation, but that’s what the rules currently state.

Props to him for taking the high moral ground. It’s technically his home lake and he probably would have done pretty well. I’m guessing very few anglers would have done what he did.

Wow what a day 2.
BP skyrockets into 1st place with 58 lbs and on oz.
After catching back to back 9+ lbers and a 7.5 lber he gives a couple of other anglers fishing the canal a crank bait he caught the big fish on.
Greg DiPalma left that area and still put together a good bag.
Minnesotan Bob Downey is inside the top 10.

Watching today I see they weren’t able to upgrade over Zona in the studio.

Yeah, Zona not being there is a big loss to the broadcast. But at least the action has been great!

Wow BP wins and had enough weight after 3 days that he didn’t even need to fish today.
Some pretty big fish lost on the last day. Not sure if it would have changed the outcome if they were not lost but that hurts when you don’t fish clean through out the whole tourney.
