Good reading thanks for sharing guys. On another note. Is the overall quality slightly increasing? Check out the last couple years winning weights

2010 15.31
2009 14.63
2008 10.57

going back even further
2007 15.59
2006 19.49 this was Nicks win with the 1 rouge bass, but second was 17+lbs.
2005 11.2

It appears it is slightly getting better size fish, or same class of fish with a little more food. I would imagine with the higher water there are more crawdads in the water for the spots to eat. What were the fish spitting up in your livewells? With the talk of tubes and brushhogs, sounds like they were on dads, maybe?

What made 2006 so special? The link to pics doesnt work to try and compare.

What are the thoughts of the BNT guys that were there?
