It adds a lot more confidence going into a tournament like that. I have spent a lot of time on that lake and I know the body of water.

It's shaping up to be another big bass slugfest that time of year. We could see a Classic record for biggest weight.

I think you are going to see a lot of fish weighed in. You may see a 30-pound stringer. It is unlikely there will be any over 40, but it is possible. There will be a lot of 20s.

Most of the fish have already spawned. I'll be doing some sight fishing, but I don't think you're going to see the weights that you saw in 2001.

The problem is that they have so much confidence in their ability that they don't get worried, for they have been able to reel the leaders in before, ... A different season means different strategies.

It is one of those one-off games where everybody is going to be right up for it. The confidence in the camp is good and we really feel as if we can win the game.
