The tournament guys sometimes seemed a little surprised by their total weight, are they allowed to use a digital scale for culling or only the culling beams that I have seen at stores? I've never fished a tournament so I'm not to familiar with that part of the process.

[Manxfishing]

Very few are culling
So if your not there's no reason to weigh them

For culling you can use the scale or a beam
I'd guess most have scales

Thanks  for the link  Dan. I enjoyed  day  two of the classic. Icanelli is hanging  in there , be nice to see a northern  guy take  the classic .since  KVD, didn't  make the cut.

I didn't see any coverage with Hite today
I'd guess being a FLW pro as well hurts your TV time with BASS

[djkimmel]

Was he expected to do well in this tournament?

Was he expected to do well in this tournament?

I don't think so
He likes to throw a chatterbait year round.

And it's a good springtime choice.
But I didn't know Hartwell was a clear water lake

[Got Fish??]

Unfortunate  that we couldn't  see the first and last few hours of each day of  the classic . Seems that this is where all the fishing drama  is taking place.  Still a great coverage  and looking forward  to see who is gong to win at the end of the classic .

Maybe they'll get there eventually but it would about double the amount of cameras and crew to pull that off. It was a giant step in the right direction! I watched a lot of it!
