Flw Day 3

No, that is exactly what the co-angler said Christie told him. Co-angler said he liked Christie and learned some stuff, but that his prediction came true.

[Sore Thumbs]

Was it the way he was fishing? A rig deep? Jerkbait on points? I'm guessing it was a deep pattern.

[Stump bumper]

I would say running fast along the shore casting in front of the boat, that is the hardest pattern to fish behind. The front seat is catching fish and the boat scares the fish away from the shore line by the time the back seater gets here. I was skunked behind front seaters that way a few times before I figured out how to drag a jig or floating jerk bait on a three way. Borders on trolling but all you can do, and produces, you have cast out deep and far behind the boat and drag back to the shore way behind the boat.

I have not read any reports on how Christie was fishing, just saying that would be my guess. Any more details from the source?

The co-angler didn't spill any details about how Christie was fishing, which is to his credit, IMO. He just said something like "Wait until Christie gets on stage in a while. Then the fireworks will start.". I did not go to the last day weigh in, so don't know if Christie talked about his pattern after winning or not.

EDIT: Looks like it was mostly A-rigs for Christie's fish.
