Will a Local Win the BASS Northern Open Detroit River?

[djkimmel]

Do you think a local can pull this one off? If so, vote for one of those above. Make a post too saying who you picked and why if you like. Or if you want to pick someone who's not on this list.

If you post your choice with pounds and ounces, and get it right, or whomever gets the right person and closest weight to actual will win a prize from GreatLakesBass.com. Good luck!

I vote for Chad.

[dashaver63]

My Choice is Trevor. He won a Stren as a Co and fished pretty well from the front in both FLW Tour events up there. Is Mark Modrak fishing? He would be my second choice because it will be won on St.Clair

My guess for total weight will be 61.8

I know both Dave Reault and Chip Harrison have Fish in LSC....I also know a local guy that just got in that will probably put a scare into the pros....I won't mention his name because I don't want him to get a big (or bigger) head...

Hopefully I get a first hand look at the winning fish from the back of the boat....I just need 3 castoffs..

I think in this tournament I would rather draw a good local than a Touring Pro....

I am going with Ryan Said, 3 day total weight will be 55lbs and 6oz. He came in 3rd 2 weeks ago and knows these waters pretty good.

I didn't vote for Vandam but he did win the open last year out of Sandusky I believe it was......And is it his dad or Uncle that holds the Ohio state record smallmouth??...And most of all he is a Vandam.......HMMMMMM can I change my vote...??

[Dan]

Harrison cranking with 57 lbs.

[mikesmiph]

I voted for Ryan Said. Out of the list, I think he has the greatest chance. I think the weights are going to be a bit higher though. 59.2

[markgoetsch]

I'm going with reault and 62 lbs. or myself with 55 lbs.

 i picked joe balog has he has a few wins under his belt here on erie and LSC even.  but i didn't see art ferguson down, so i wish he does well and will fish on saturday...

[fasttrack]

Joe Balog - 55.5 lbs

I don't have access to a competitors list for the event so I put the ones on that I was close to 100% sure about. May hurt someone's feelings, but there can be write in's as some of you have done. This is just for fun and something to do. I had not heard if Modrak or Art are fishing. Sorry for leaving you off the list markgoetsch. But if you do win... I will put a big picture of you on the web site and maybe some video if I can find you Saturday!!

[independentMike]

I think Harrison may stand the best chance. Weights have been lower than usual in a couple recent tournaments.  I'm going to say 53 lbs. to win. I think drop-shotting some Erie Darters may be the ticket.

[River Rat]

Ryan w/ 66.3

[McCarter]

Arts fishing it.  put him on cuz thats who i am voting for. 

He is due for another big win

McCarter himself

[smallie chaser]

Going to vote for ferguson.60 lbs. of river fish.

[mikesmiph]

I should have checked with Brian before I voted, because I'm betting the winner will get several of his fish on Nemesis gobies. Just a guess.

Ok. Added Art since he fishes full time. Hadn't seen anything about him being there. Wish I had a list of participants but that won't be available until Wednesday evening or Thursday.
