Lane and the other young guy on the other hand crushed them, not fishing a release area with topwater lures. Lane spent a lot of time one cove over from pb2 where the other public boat ramp is...he was in the back of there several times...they didn't venture too far from pb2...looks like christie just committed to staying in pb2 the whole time
fishinwrench Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 Finally got to see it this afternoon and yes it was kinda painful. All were scored and released though which is extremely soothing. As I understand there is a whole 3 hours of footage missing on the broadcast version that will be available when the DVD comes out. There was a bunch of times I was looking over their shoulder saying "you need to be over there", but maybe on the full version it will show that indeed they did. Watsons spoon deal was an eye opener for me. Not so much that he got bit but at the size of the fish that bit him right away like that during that time of the year. Once could have been luck, but not twice. I have overlooked that as a quality post spawn bite, but you can bet I'll be testing it this year. Really cool! And of course I recognized that dock immediately. Was extremely shocked at the absence of any footage from Soap or Bogue. Do I think I could have beat them? Up here yeah, but anywhere else... noway. Those boys zoomed in on some of the best spots almost immediately. How they knew where to go and figured it out so fast blows my mind, cuz it took me YEARS to eliminate alot of that water. Huge respect! In a format like that it would be hard for me to decide whether to camp out somewhere and rack up the dinks, or stay focused on 15"+ fish like I have always done. It would be alot of fun. Sore Thumbs and Quillback 2

Watson didn't get mad so I guess it was ok. Seemed at the time that Watson found the fish and Short capitalized on it. Warrior. I would like to think I was as good as Christie but there is no way I catch as many as he did in there. These guys are the best of the best. To put myself anywhere close to that would be wrong. I also noticed this group attacked the area differently than the first group. Not a Plopper in site. Goes to show how many different ways there are to catch them and how these guys went to their strengths to do so. Can't wait til next episode. As for Kevin cutting off Watson from what it sounded like that Kevin went farther up and worked back to Watson is what I am guessing, we are watching the condensed version. And as far as me thinking I/We are as good as Christie is not what I was trying to say. Just saying this area is a HEAVILY used release area and are tons of good fish released there. Even the tournaments held here all year long cannot fish where he was fishing.
Sore Thumbs Posted January 9, 2017 Author Posted January 9, 2017 I got ya. Never been in that area of the lake.
Sore Thumbs Posted January 9, 2017 Author Posted January 9, 2017 If it's pb2 I have. We took off from there but it was off limits. Long time ago.

It was pb2 and he was inside the buoys fishing the whole cove which is like fishing in a barrel, well as close as your going to get on a reservoir ?

These guys make a living at this and know where to go for sure
moguy1973 Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 Anyone know what popper Christie might have been using? Looked like he could pop it and walk it at the same time. -- JimIf people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles. -- Doug Larson

There's usually at least one "fake" slap fight over water/fish. Wrench...Do you know how much water was on that dock Watson was spooning? I've never done very well with it on TR on docks that didn't have a good 30' on the out end. It can definitely be a quality bite though, even with the little white spoon.
