I'm personally going against what I did last yr. I'm going with the scopers till it proves otherwise. Except I have Walters and Mueller on fantasy. I think Williams with a jig and livescope is deadly and Ben and Fujita obviously. And DTL I burned Nania, Rasmussen, and Messer just cause, and have Shyrock, Christie, Robertson, Ito, and Kimura to round it out. We're in unfamiliar territory right now with people slaying on the scope to pick our hero favorites right now. Just my opinion though🫡
Should be driving down Friday AM and be there all day Saturday as well, will try to post to socials what time I will make my self sit still at the PowerHouse Lithium booth
I have the omnia app and it's good for some stuff but the water temperature part is way way off. It claims my lakes are all in the 50s and they are all in the 60s and 70s
If anyone thinks Christie beat the bank to win the classic, that won't happen. If he were to win, he'll scope. Hard to say but scoping will win every single tournament and will be at least 90% of the checks
That would really blow everyones mind if Christie ditches the shallow spinnerbait and jig fishing and wins anyways out scopeing the scopers due to his knowledge of the lake. You still have to be scoping in the right areas. @@HellaBass
A lot of mystery with ffs at grand. Haven’t seen a ffs derb on grand personally. What I do know is bigs like it dirt shallow around the backs of docks. I’m going with ffs guys but don’t feel very good about it. If Christie isn’t fishing on Sunday all hope is lost for non-ffs guys
Unless Christie ends up ditching the shallow spinnerbait and jig fishing and wins anyways out scoping the scopers due to his knowledge of the lake. That would really blow everyones mind. You still have to be scoping in the right areas. Not likely, but it would be hilarious!
@@HellaBass I really don’t think he can pull that off. Cats way out of the bag and he’s not gonna be able to do that to this new crop of ffs guys. If Christie has a chance of winning with ffs it’s protecting a big lead going into the final day. If he try’s to go out and be a ffs hero at grand he’s not fishing Sunday.
If you think the biggest fish on Grand are shallow then you are about to be caught in the 20% on fantasy! Even if they are pulling up more each day I put my money on FFS. If you only knew what perspective mode or scout mode was worth in less than 6ft of water you wouldn’t fish without it during pre spawn and spawn
He could mix it in or go mostly to it at Grand depending on what was happening with the shallow bite. You still have to be scoping in the right areas and he knows the lake better than anyone.@@HellaBass
Haha no shot Christie wins unless he stares at his screen for 24 hrs that's the problem and why ppl don't like ffs literally u are forced to do one thing if u want to win. How anyone thinks ffs is healthy for the sport is a complete moron

And I think 74.6 lb will take it😂
That would be impressive
@@HellaBass it definitely would be. I figured kvd averaged around 20 and 3/4 pounds in 2018 so 4 more pounds a day isn't too far fetched .
Hope to see you at the classic I will be there most of the day Saturday!

He can scope just as well as anyone else. Won the classic looking at em!
Scope was definitely part of his Hartwell Classic and he is OG with Panoptix but not sure he is on the level of some of these other guys
@@HellaBassthat's because he uses it as a tool. But he is definitely good at it.
Pulling for Christie. Setting up for him with the shallow bite and he has plenty of spots to catch them. 👍
Yessir!
I have the omnia app and it's good for some stuff but the water temperature part is way way off. It claims my lakes are all in the 50s and they are all in the 60s and 70s
So you're saying in trails behind in water temp a bit?
Thank you Rich- great breakdown! I'm going with John Cox for the win!
As a fan, I can definitely get behind that
They are up shallow at grand lake right now so hopefully the non scopers stand a chance
That's the Dream!
John cox too
💯
Im fairly sure Christie can scoop better than most
@GopherHayes I agree. Him, Scott Martin, & a few of the other Vets can do it just as good
Yeah but makes a good title lol
If anyone thinks Christie beat the bank to win the classic, that won't happen. If he were to win, he'll scope. Hard to say but scoping will win every single tournament and will be at least 90% of the checks
I'm hoping Christie can pull off a combo platter like Hartwell classic
Christy caught them scoping. He caught one off a jig and that was televised. So that’s what they think
Agreed on Hartwell he got his bag started every day scoping and culled a bit with a jig
You realize Christie scopes too......or did you forget that was part of his approach in his classic win.
Nope, but it makes an intriguing youtube title
Isnt christie a scoper?
You are right that’s how he caught a lot of his fish on his classic win!
They all have it, Christie has leveraged it before, but he is not one to go all in on scoping
That would really blow everyones mind if Christie ditches the shallow spinnerbait and jig fishing and wins anyways out scopeing the scopers due to his knowledge of the lake. You still have to be scoping in the right areas. @@HellaBass
A rig???
Alabama rog, Not allowed in classic or elites

I think we will see a blended approach from Christie
@@HellaBass I really don’t think he can pull that off. Cats way out of the bag and he’s not gonna be able to do that to this new crop of ffs guys.

Christi uses live scope too
Yes they all have FFS except maybe Cox, we'll he has it, but it might be in a box in his truck
Christie scopes
As much as I pull for Christie and I despise the live scope Era. Christie won his Classic on live scope and not the spinner bait .
Yeah he started the day scoping & upgraded some with jigs shallow at Hartwell, maybe a combo scope and spinnerbait at Grand 🙂
Pros show have to fish .......... and I am or was a Christie fan ..
FFS caught fish should be limited to a 50% weight value.
why is that?
You know Christy scoped the last classice he won? He is a scoper too
I do know he combo scoped to start day and upgraded with jigs on docks, but it makes a good Video Title 😁
@HellaBass heard most all his fish were scoped at the Hartwell classic, didn't watch much of it because I was there
@GREGORYJHALL the dock jig fish got celebrated but each day he scoped a good bag to start
I thought John cox was the only non scoper
Even Cox gas used FFS for Gator hunting 😂
👀👀🔥🔥👍👍👍👍
🌶🧠🍉
If you think the biggest fish on Grand are shallow then you are about to be caught in the 20% on fantasy! Even if they are pulling up more each day I put my money on FFS. If you only knew what perspective mode or scout mode was worth in less than 6ft of water you wouldn’t fish without it during pre spawn and spawn
Any pro angler that isn't using FFS to improve what they are doing at any depth range in today's ers is probably about to be left behind
Its going to be another FFS tournment! Which most people think SUCKS!
Do "most" people think that or is it a vocal minority? I don't have Data either way to know
Christie won his classic bty scoping who are we fooling....
It was a big part of Hartwell classic agreed
He could mix it in or go mostly to it at Grand depending on what was happening with the shallow bite. You still have to be scoping in the right areas and he knows the lake better than anyone.@@HellaBass
Who cares about the Scopemasters Classic...illegitimate tournaments in today's fishing
Super fresh take
Go cry on Randy’s page lmao,
@@dannymoore430 🤣 awww poor Scoper can't catch fish legitimately
@@HellaBassthx scoper....🤙 go play your video game...what level u on? Bluegill?
Haha no shot Christie wins unless he stares at his screen for 24 hrs that's the problem and why ppl don't like ffs literally u are forced to do one thing if u want to win. How anyone thinks ffs is healthy for the sport is a complete moron
making blanket statements about peoples thoughts doesn't seem like the most enlightened take...
@@HellaBass nope that is the correct statement if u think ffs is healthy for the sport and lakes u are a moron
That’s not fishing what the bass masters are doing it video fishing with your live scopes and all that junk
What is it then?
They havent paid their dues in tournment fishing
I would argue some of the veterans have let their dues expire and that's why they are in a bad spot
Agreed! Maybe they are banking on a lifetime membership that doesn't exist?! At least not anymore.@@HellaBass
John cox was so 1999 dude has 0 chance of winning and he knows it
I would not say Zero
