Bassmaster Classic Contest

[TimH]

A few years back I put on a small contest  for all Great Lakes Bass.com members.  It was just a fun thing for people to do for the Bassmaster Classic.  I have been meaning to do it again, but kept forgetting until it was too late.  However, I finally remembered to set it up in time this year, so here we go! 
Here is how it is going to work.
Select the three of the 56 anglers you think are going to do the best and post them here.  All entries are due by noon on March 3rd in order to qualify for the contest.
Please also post your guess for the total winning weight for the classic.  This will be used in the event of a tie.
Once the classic is over, I will look at all entries and assign them points based on their finish.
56th place is worth one point and 1st place is worth 56 points.
The Great Lakes Bass.com member who earns the most points based on their selected anglers will win the prize pack I have created for this contest. 
The prize pack consists of a Strike King 1.5 square bill, two bags of Berkley Havoc Pit Boss, a Z-Man Chatterbait, and three of my homemade jigs.  I will also pay for shipping if you don't live close by. (Macomb County). 

I hope everyone participates in this contest.  I figured it's a good way to focus on fishing as we all go nuts waiting for this colder weather to finally end!
