We are now up to 14 Misfits. Still time to register and get your pics in!. 8am eastern time is the cutoff.

Update...make that 15...Web Guy Greg has joined the Misfits!

How did your picks do for Day-1. Mine didn't do so hot. The ones that I thought would do well, didn't. I hate that I made a last-minute adjustment to my roster that cost me dearly... why didn't I keep Bobby Lane!?

I did the same thing...a last minute change hurt me too. 

I hear that. I made a last minute change that killed me. That and my boy Palaniuk completely struck out on day one. OUCH!

Congrats to Ripped Lips...He's leading the Misfits! Some of us did well, others including myself need to do more homework! Here's my tip for the next tournament...If your number one pick is too busy making T.V. shows...stay away from him! LOL

I just looked at the stats...And I'm leading the Misfits...my big moment in the sun!

Well...my moment in the sun was short lived...looks like Barresi smoked us all! 

Hey Misfits...better get your picks in...the Power Pole Slam starts the 22nd on Okeechobee.

Picks are in...I'm ready to fish!

Well...looks like Vito is still leading the Misfits. Almost a month 'til the next stop...and you're gonna need the time to think about this one. BASS hasn't had a tourney on Bull Shoals in 20 years...hee hee...good luck.
                                                                                               

Tournament starts today on Douglas lake in TN...hope everyone has their picks in!

Bassmaster has adjusted the score card..they were counting the Classic as part of the overall standings for the Elite Series AYO. They have now removed everyone's score from the Classic, so it's more than likely your rank and score has been adjusted...Sorry Mo..your not in 1st place anymore..hahaha...lol

Now that's a buddy for you...he didn't post to congratulate me for making it to the top...he posted to let me know I got smacked down!LOL! That's OK...I think I can get right back up there.

Oh snap! Your right Mo..I did forget to congratulate you on being first...and third..lol Congrats buddy!

I tanked on Douglas but it looks like almost everyone else did too! And since I didn't do real well in the Classic, taking it out helped me. Halfway through fellas

I must have done better in the Classic than I thought...to have dropped two positions without it. Next stop is Toledo Bend, and Ol' mo has inside info on this one. I have a friend who lives close and fishes tourneys on it. Prepare for battle Misfits!
                                                                                              

Uh oh...inside info...look out Misfits..Mo's got and inside scoop..lol. Word on the street is Brent Broderick is advising Mo one this one! LOL Good luck Misfits..

Broderick? LMAO!! If I remember right...that knucklehead was on YOUR roster for the TroKar Quest at Bull Shoals. If I go with the hot tip, I'll be steppin' way outside the box(at least from what I would pick)...what to do...

Hmmm...Advising and picking...different. But wouldn't picking that knucklehead be thinking outside the box? LOL..It's easy to pick the most favored..your insider info had better launch you to the top of the Misfits...if its a bust, look out..major trash talk heading your way..lol Good luck buddy!

Hee hee! When I posted that insider info bit, I thought to myself "Vito's gonna bust my chops on this if I'm wrong"! LOL!I wonder when Web Guy Greg is going to get a new podcast on?

Hey...stick with your own insider info...I'M waiting for web guy's podcast! LOL.
