Don't we all wish we were there right now. Ron Hobbs Jr is doing pretty good in this tournament. Check the standings, and catch the live weigh-in online. I was watching it last night, its pretty cool. A guy from our club is fishing as a co-angler. He got skunked day 1, and caught 4 fish for over 10 lbs day 2. Thats got to be fun. Check it out, definetly bookmark the page.

RE:FLW California Delta
The live weigh-ins are sooooo much better this year on FLW. I havent seen the stren yet but on the Tour they have a list of your fantasy team already loaded to you can see who is doing what during in real-time.
When I talked to Ron last year at OE after he had just got back from the delta he said he figured it out the day after the tournament so hope he is putting that knowledge to use.
BIG fan of the panic minnow drop shot!

EDIT to add:
BTW Justin Lucas is the man! One of the best co-anglers out of the west. Last year he won back to back $25,000 at Columbia river and Clear lake, ca. He got a top 5 in the East West fish off at Amistad earlier this year and NOW...
Looks like he caught big fish of the day on the delta.
13-pound, 9-ounce

I hope Ron Hobbs continues to do good and represents WA well. Looks like there are a couple of WA guys doing alright in the standings.

RE:FLW California Delta
Pretty cool looking dropshot "panic minnow", I might have to order a pack. Has anyone tried it?
RE:FLW California Delta
Yes I use them and they work great. Different types and colors for all applications.
Ron Hobbs (by the way) uses them and is in 9th place in the flw series at the delta right now!

RE:FLW California Delta
When i was drop shotting back in the day (last year lol) I used them. I like putting 2x on one line - make it look like a tiny school of baitfish.
I am more partial to their "swim" line but thats just my style.

RE:FLW California Delta
Panic Minnows are awesome if you are willing to drop some coin for them. My first pack I got for free, and I never thought a bait 2 inchs could catch em that good.
Ron Hobbs is doing awesome, one more day ! I'm pissed I missed the weigh-in. I can't believe I forgot when I got home from work.

RE:FLW California Delta
If he can put together a 30lb bag he's got a good shot at the whole thing. I say that and read what I just wrote and try and image a 30lb bag. Has anyone around here caught a 30lb. bag before? Can you imagine? One of those fish are a fish of a lifetime for average bass anglers.
No matter what happens he is representing WA well and will be walking a way with a nice check.

RE:FLW California Delta
5 fish, for 30 lbs ?? We need lake, and hopefully pics. If you left the camera at home when you caught a 30 lb bag, I don't think anyone is going to believe you. Thats worth a trophy board post, lets see it ! I'm pumped, T-Dot, tell us the story brotha.

RE:FLW California Delta
Nice pics of tdot's and Bavnuts catch. I saw those last year and was amazed. I think I have figured out where the lake is and hope to fish Lake Bavnuts soon.
RE:FLW California Delta
Impressive group of pics. I have no idea what lake that is, looks like its time to do some research.
Ron Hobbs did a great job !! I can't wait to see the tv coverage.

RE:FLW California Delta
Ron Hobbs Jr did an awesome job, coming from behind with consistant catches, and moving up everyday. Great job Jr. Glad to see the Washington guys up there on the leaderboard, especially one of my prostaff! One hell of a fisherman, and can catch them no matter where he is at.......
RE:FLW California Delta
wow, i heard stories from my fishing partner about this hobbs guy. we pass his home everytime we go to fish at clear lake (in graham/eatonville). he tells me his son and hobbs were good friends in high school and fished together. most of the time we pass his house at 6am and his boat isn't there.
