KVD -no brainer, likes the cold.

Rattlebait- warming trend, covering water.

I like Jason Christie, but its almost too obvious and easy to pick. Tour level skills, VERY local, and the most recent success/least time removed from the local tournament scene. Based on the weather pattern (still very cold nights and not enough warming water temp during the day (yet),I think it's going to stay a jerkbait-jig pattern but the hollow belly swimbait, crankbait, and possibly a spinnerbait could play.

Everyone throwing 110s and then pimping their sponsored jerkbaits right LOL.

There will be some of that for sure. Will be hard to hide with cameras and you'll see guys backing up the 110 with other baits just for a different look. If the jerkbait is on full throttle and the dominant pattern as expected, you'll see guys with multiple brands/sizes on the front deck, to soak on productive banks. Side note: A-rig would dominate and up the weights significantly.

I usually hibernate a little in the winter when it comes to fishing, but the Classic is my awakening. I get so excited! Wish it aired on tv with good coverage.

Cliff Pace! Man when I saw he had 4 bites all day I thought Palaniuk was going to pull off the win.
Sounds like jerks, squarebills and jigs were tied on all around for everybody that did well..
