That's Ricky Clunn one spot below. Ridic

14-15 on the final day. Not over yet but easily top 5, maybe 2nd!

So Biffle didn't get the automatic classic berth from this because he missed the first event (you have to fish all 3 opens in a region to get the automatic berth).

I think they should give it to Chris :)

Wow, Bassfan.com reports that there's question about the legality of the area Biffle was fishing to win the event:

If Biffle were DQ'd, Chris would go to the Bassmaster Classic. Wow wow.

I read his statement on this, says no he wasn't fishing over the bouy line....in that picture sure looks like he is over it!

"I fished over the buoy line but didn't put the boat over it. In fact, when I snagged my line, I'd back up from the buoy line and break it, so when I pulled on it, it didn't pull me over the cable."

or maybe he should have said I didnt go over the line when the camera boat was there.

clearly shows the buoy line and he is safe

Second photo...Biffle...BUSTED !!!!


:P

Personally I think BASS is wrong to allow anyone to cast into an off - limit area.

Just shows that Biffle was afraid that Chris was guna take him. Stretch the rules and cheat to win. Bet he added lead to their bellies. Karma will catch him. Chris will show that he is a better fisherman and character.
