Official 2009 BASS Fantasy Fishing Thread 2024

This is my official challenge to play ***tasy Fishing. I'm double dog daring you to beat me if you can ;D

I hope the powers that be at bassresource.com won't mind, but I have taken the liberty of creating a bassresource.com group for ***tasy Fishing. This will be the thread for smack talk as we compete throughout the 2009 season.

In addition to having the opportunity to win prizes from BASS, this gives us bassresource.com regulars a chance at having a little friendly competition in the year 2009.

Here is what you need to do. Go to:

http://games.espn.go.com/bass/

Here you need to create a team. I suggest having your bassresource forum name somewhere in the name so that you can be easily identified. ( e.g. the name of my team is "bocraw's entry")

Once you create a team you want to join the Bass Resource Group so that you can see your fellow bassresource.com competitors. Here are the specifics:

Group Name: Bass Resource

Password: Bait Monkey

Bring it!

bocraw reply :

They do not appear to have the 2009 season activated yet. But since the Classic is less than a month away, I think they will update it any day now.

bocraw reply :

Okay, the 2009 season was supposed to be active today but it is not. I will post an update when they start the 2009 season.

bocraw reply :

Okay..the 2009 season is finally live. The bad news is that they have made significant changes and everyone who registered has to start over. The good news is that I think the changes are good and will make playing this season even more fun.

Group Name: Bass Resource

Password: Bait Monkey

Sorry about having to register again. The ad in Bassmaster Mag said to "register now" so I had no way of knowing they were going to reset everything on Feb. 4...

Good luck!

bighed reply :

Sounds fun bo. Having never done a fantasy anything before, can you give me a quick rundown of how it is played?

BUCKEYEone reply :

I have never done fantasy anything either. I just signed up and assumed that BR would have a group, luckily found it and then found the password on here. I think I was the 5th to sign up. Assuming more than 5 folks sign up, 5th is probably about as high as you will see my name on that group roster! I have a terrible habbit of perpetually rooting for the underdogs!

All you do is register and join the "Bass Resource" group. To play you pick five anglers for your roster. You are given a budget of $100 and each angler has a value, for example KVD is $25 and Kim Bain is $12. You cannot pick all superstars or else you will not be able to field a full team of 5.

There is a link on "how to play" on the top of the fantasy page. That is worth a read for additional details.

They are giving a way some cool prizes like a flat screen TV and some Costa Del Mars. But the Bass Resource group is mainly for bragging rights and just for the hell of it while we are waiting to get on the water ourselves!

Smack Talk! I like it...

Hoytman#1 reply :

I guess that's just how I roll. Watch out for Kim Bain she is notorious for making the top five in almost every event she enters. Don't let the fact that she is a woman fool you she can fish. I mean she has been in the boat with a lot of the elite anglers in the classic. She is one of the few women who knows what it takes to compete with these guys!

BASS fisherman reply :

Im in too! I'm Graf.

senko_77 reply :

Alright, I'm in. Ya'll might as well just compete for 2nd place, because I have 1st all locked up ;D

Korea_Bassin reply :

I'm in, but let it be said that I'm there to feed the rest of your egos. I don't do well at these things usually. I don't help myself any by losing interest when the weather warms up and I become more interested in my own fish catching. I signed up last year around this same time and set my roster for the first tourney and then the ice melted here and I don't know that I ever went back to the site. I'll try to stay more involved this year.

Tallydude is in the building.

Speed Worm reply :

I'm in. ;D

This is going to be like stealing candy from fat kid.

South FLA reply :

Just signed up. I won't go as far as saying I will win this, but I have a 1 and 36 chance (currently) of being crowned the Bass Resource Fantasy King.

I say we all sweeten the pot a bit and mail the winner a prize. If each resource member post what he'll offer that would be great. I will offer 1 new/never used, slightly modified Spro Dean Rojas Frog in green color.

It would be great if each offers his favorite lure, line, etc that he actually uses to fish.

If you guys are all in this would be a great incentive to keep track of your roster making it more competitive ;D

EZOP reply :

Team Quill is in the game.

warmer reply :

im in, and im going to win.

Javelin_Venom reply :

basslove-em reply :

Pond-Pro reply :

BTW: Welcome to the forums basslove-em!

southwestoh reply :

Im in,the name West. This is great, I was wanting to do it and never thought about Bass Resource having a group, This makes it that much better. Just to rattle you guys i was co owner of the best fantasy football team in my league this year, we didnt um win the superbowl, but , well , you know , we were the best on paper!!!

Hoytman#1 reply :

Don't forget it is a very long season and you have got to stay up with what is going on and change your roster from time to time to compete. I would say who ever is winning after the classic won't be the one who wins the whole thing.

FordNFishinLover reply :

Im in!

BUCKEYEone reply :

According to my clock we have 31 seconds to make changes to our rosters!

BUCKEYEone reply :

I'm pretty pumped to see how I'm doing in the next hour!

Hoytman#1 reply :

Well all the smack talk I did isn't justified after day on of the classic! Hope my five pick it up in a big way tommorow!

BUCKEYEone reply :

I knew I should have read over the rules and how the scoring works before day one! haha, I just added 5 pros I thought would have a great year, one of which (Marty Stone) isn't even in the classic! Looks like I"ll have to wait a couple weeks to start catching up! Right now I'm sitting 44th out of 47 after day one!

FishinDaddy reply :

I did the same thing.

But 3 of my guys are in the top 12 after 2 days.

hawgchaser reply :

Dang I have been looking for this thread. I always check the stickys last! Go figure.....

Waiting on the final results to be posted. I waivered back and forth on my top guy and it was KVD or ike and i chose KVD....dangit. Oh well still did pretty well.

FordNFishinLover reply :

Whats that everyone? Im number one??

OHH YEAA!! THATS RIGHT BABY! NUMBER ONE FOR THE CLASSIC!

YEAAA WHOOOHOOO *fist pump, fist pump* YEAA WHOOOHOOO

"Thats me being Ike, which is who helped me win the fantasy classic tourny!!!" Ohhhh yea!

~trash talking has offically been started!! hahaha ~

bocraw reply :

Well done Catfish...both in fantasy performance and trash talk. Luckily for the rest of us we have 8 opportunities to play catch-up.

bighed reply :

Dang it, was in third at one point during the classic and checked again today and I dropped to 12th. Needless to say, I'm making big changes. As The Don would say, "YOUR FIRED".

FordNFishinLover reply :

Thanks yall

But whats this catch up talk?

Oh yea thats right there are 2nd and 3rd place spots open

flipinstick88 reply :

Just joined up. I'm in 10th place after the Classic!

Sin_City702 reply :

Good going cat, way to knock me out of first. Don't worry. After the next one i will have my spot back. ;D

Hahaha, someone had to do it!

ProCrafter reply :

I'm the late guy...had my team up after the Classic so I am way behind!

TopWaterSA reply :

Hope everyone got their rosters adjusted for Amistad.

Gatorbassman reply :

Don't quit now y'all. The season is just getting started. 8-)

FordNFishinLover reply :

Okay, im a wee bit ticked atm. I got my 3 main guys that i plan on keeping throughout the year.

Guess what they do just fine and dandy! They are whats keeping me in the race. Its the two other guys that i change out through each week thats destroying me.

One of my last weeks pick got LAST PLACE. Yes 100th place. The other guy did do worth a dang either.

But i must say. I have a REALLY good feeling about this week and i like my picks. Its time i catch back up

Big_Country76 reply :

OK Just gettin on this. Give me a week or two to figure it all out then it will be time to start knockin heads!

burleytog reply :

Don't forget to make your picks for this weekend's tourney on Wheeler.

bocraw reply :

Okay...I have reached the point where I am officially pulling for "Evergreen" over my own team. He is ranked in the 100th percentile. i.e. he has a legitimate shot of winning the whole thing. WTG Evergreen! I hope you keep it up and win big!

evergreen reply :

Thank you very much, I can't believe how lucky I have been. I have never entered a fantasy competition in any sport, it is fun seeing my name on the front page of the espn leaderboard, to bad I couldn't get that lucky in the FLW fantasy fishing.
