The season begins in February on Lake Travis. I created a group for anyone that is interested...here's the details:
Compete against your family, friends, co-workers and pro-angler wannabes from across the country during the Wal-Mart FLW Tour events scheduled this year. You'll not only earn bragging rights, you'll also have a chance to win $5,000 cash during every fantasy fishing contest as well as other great prizes including FLW Outdoors memberships, hats, t-shirts and die-cast replica boats. In addition, all contestants will automatically be eligible for the 2007 Grand Prize - an all-expense-paid trip for two to this year's Wal-Mart FLW Tour Championship.

thanks for setting this up again, Jeff...i was just thinking about it!
I'll set up a BASS one too as soon as it is available...
I never recovered from my DQ's last year! I'll try to hold my temper this time and NOBODY drives my boat but me! ;D ;D
Thanks for your time and efforts.
In!
i signed up but could not find Poorboy, ABA, or Kimmel on the list. are you sure that is all the selections. guess i will have to take what is there.
Signed up, ready to go. Thanks Jeff for setting up the GLB group.

is PB in this. a new boat may be cheaper.
I am in. I will have you know that i intend to dominate this season. I stunk it up something awful last time.

P.S. New boat? Sounds good to me!

Good point...I've seen sumos eat less at the all-you-can-eat buffet... :o
**Disclaimer...the above statement is in way way intended to offend any sumo bass fisherman that may frequent this site, but, is instead a reference to the massive caloric intake needed to fuel the highly-tuned, athletic physique of said athlete. This in turn is being used as a baseline to compare the wing/beer intake of McCarter, who is subtly being alluded to as "husky"...
In defense to myself, I must say that the above statement is not completly true. I have been known to drink more beer in one sitting than most people might drink in a week, but the accusations of me eating a lot is completly false. I am constantly ridiculed for eating like a bird. And, i will have you know that i am 'slimming down nicely'. I have lost 11 lbs and i am almost back down to my playing weight. Of course by playing weight i mean my video game playing weight. But non the less, i am getting smaller in diameter. I will still drink all the beer tho.
Take that you scallywag!

My doctor recently told me that my beer/wing levels were dangerously low. I dont know how much time i have, but it sounds pretty serious. Perhaps we should do this soon!
McCarter himself :-\'
???Beer/Wings? That's a diet I haven't tried! Yet
Congrats to 5 alive for finishing 29th overall out of thousands of fantasy bass players...Just 4 spots out of the prizes..Great job...My picks didn't turn out so well..Maybe next time
atta boy, Jeff.
I didnt do too well in this first event. maybe i will get them in the next.
McCarter himself :-\'
I didn't see this thread until today. I haven't had much time to go over the site thoroughly.
Over the years I haven't had much interest in any of the "fantasy" sports stuff. However, a couple of weeks ago FLW Outdoors sent me an e-mail (I am a member) touting their Fantasy Fishing deal. It also mentioned something about a $5,000 first prize. That got my attention real quick. So I checked it out, found out how easy it was to sign up and played my first-ever fantasy sports game...on the deadline day, last Wednesday. I ended up 19th. That was easy...but lucky, lucky, lucky.
I must admit that I kept an eye on the tournament daily and the whole process was fun. It only took a few minutes to sign up and pick my team for a crack at $5,000. And it didn't cost a thing!
Let's see, the next tourney is at the end of March. Should I pick all new guys or stick with my original five? Yelas is always solid, and Stricker is due for a big win. On the other hand, Robertson...
Wow, congratulations! That's pretty sweet.8) Did you get a prize then for such a high finish?
-Ryan
I just got an e-mail from them yesterday. I will be getting an FLW Outdoors t-shirt.
updated my picks for the next event.. going to work my up from 1360 place or something like that. look at the bottom of the roster. there are a bunch of local guys on the list that must have entered the Det river event since they are a no for this event.
I am already part of one other group. Does anyone know of a way for my one team and picks to be part of 2 different groups? If not I will set up another username from my home pc tonight.
Due to the overwhelming response, I just opened another account in my wifes name on the home computer. So dont worry if my team beats you guys, you didnt really lose to a girl!
Last night wife wife found out that "She" had a fantasy team. She informed me that if she has a team that she wants to do the picks. her team consisted of. "give me number 8, 13, 3, 23 and someone in the 60's" She shouted this across room never seeingany of the names. Her team actaully turned out pretty good!
just did my picks for next week... great to see some of the locals in the field. clapper, balog, reault
too bad i could not get Kev, in my picks. can't wait for the victory party at HOOTERS when he wins.
get em boy.
I made the top 20 in fantasy fishing this week......I missed the 5 grand by 40 points......AAAAAAARGH! That would have gone along way towards a new boat.
Is the season now done or will we pick for the championship?

I'm pretty sure we pick for the championship...
I thought so too, but it normally gives you the option to make your picks right after completion of the previous. It isnt giving me that option currently.

They are going to have to limit the angler selections since not everyone has qualified for the Cup...I'd give it a couple days then check back...
