The second tournament of ESPN’s fantasy fishing season, Stockton, CA’s Duel in the Delta, starts Thursday, and I’ll be damned if I haven’t put together the best team:
1. Kevin VanDam. Duh, but it’s interesting that he’s only at 70% ownership. The other 30% are either psycho genius bass fishing experts or not entering a roster at all.
2. Aaron Martens. Everybody on the site has either this guy or Skeet Reese as the other Bucket A guy, and I refuse to play a guy named Skeet.
3. Tommy Biffle. Fred LaLande tells me he’s great in situations with a lot of shoreline cover, and Tommy Sanders calls him “the lazy man’s way” because of his exceptional skill in shallow-water situations. I don’t know who any of these people are, but Biffle’s from Oklahoma, and I was born and raised in Oklahoma, so he’s on the team.
4. Dean Rojas. I think I’ve heard of this guy. Kyle Carter says he’s consistent, which is, of course, crucial in the California delta.
5. James Niggemeyer. I’ll play anybody whose name makes me do a double take.
There you go. Wish me luck!
ah, this is good. the logic is clear and sound. those fish don’t stand a chance!
i will bet you a dollar that someone without vandam wins.
i’m not sure what you are playing for… given the sport, the lack of cap, etc., i know it’s not ‘pride’ or ‘love of the game.’ i must assume that you get some twisted sense of randomness, and i guess i can appreciate that.
Yeah, I don’t know why I’m playing either. It was originally just curiosity, and now I do kind of want to know more about bass fishing even though I don’t care that much. It’s no time commitment at all, so there’s that.
