Fort Gibson Lake near the Arkansas River was my childhood fishing spot of choice, and it’s where the last BASS Elite Series event of the season was held. As I mentioned in my last post, I decided to pick my team randomly–well, without expert assistance–and surprise fucking surprise! I had my best week of the [...]

Fantasy Fishing Week 8: Wrap Up
June 12th, 2010 · No Comments · Seamus McGee
A Wednesday-to-Saturday tournament, who woulda guessed? Three guys missed the first cut (including Reese), mystery man Cliff Pace finished 30th, and VanDam won. Ta da. I was a fat 22 points above the median, and I am now a splendidly shitty 50.3 percentile.
One week left.The only way I’m getting to 60th percentile is if I [...]
Fantasy Fishing Week 8: Tennessee Triumph
June 9th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Seamus McGee
Whatever. I’m kind of over fantasy fishing.
1. It’s way too random.
2. I don’t actually care about bass fishing, so these guys all end up being so many letters on a screen.
3. I’m just giving ESPN more hits.
4. It’s fucking fantasy fishing, and what the fuck.
So, I have a team, based mostly on expert opinion. Who [...]

9 points above the median, which is supremely mediocre, but I’m happy about it. Why? Mainly because McClelland and Kriet, the two guys selected specifically based on expert recommendations, actually came through–15th and 13th, respectively. Wild card Edwin Evers finished a solid 19th, but Reese and Niggemeyer, my team leaders, crapped out at 58th and [...]
Fantasy Fishing Week 7: Pride of Georgia

Which is another great name for a tournament. Shouldn’t the PGA start livening up its tournament names? No one even remembers the names of most golf events, so how about the Wyndham Championship changing to the “Wyndham’s Envy of California”? Fuck you, Pebble Beach and your “AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am”! We OWN this state, [...]

Fantasy Fishing Week 6: Wrap Up
May 10th, 2010 · No Comments · Seamus McGee
Oh for fuck’s sake. So the big decision last week was Mike Iaconelli or Aaron Martens, KVD having been banished from the team. Like fantasy fucking fishing clockwork, Ike and Martens proceeded to miss the first cut and VanDam came in 9th. One cannot, as they say, win for losing in this goddamn game.
On the [...]

Fantasy Fishing Poll: Kevin VanDam or Mike Iaconelli?
April 27th, 2010 · 3 Comments · Seamus McGee
That’s it. Tell me in comments which of these two should join Skeet Reese on my team this week for the Alabama Charge at Pickwick Lake. As for the rest of the roster:
3. Tim Horton. Named after breakfast and on his home lake.
4. Gerald Swindle. Also from Alabama. I’m trying, for the first time, the [...]

Ick. Fucking Skeet Reese fucking won the goddamn thing. Ike missed the first cut to 50 anglers, KVD missed the second cut to 12 anglers, and I fucking suck at this.
Casey Ashley missed the first cut and is gone for good from my team. Kriet and Niggemeyer were 33rd and 27th, respectively, which is not [...]
Fantasy Fishing Week 4: Blue Ridge Brawl
April 14th, 2010 · 3 Comments · Seamus McGee
I love the names of these tournaments. The pro tennis and golf leagues could learn a thing or two from these bass fishing folks.
We’re back, and I needed the time off. I got to squeeze in a round of ESPN fantasy golf for the Masters, which was, I must say, fucking invigorating. I didn’t win, [...]

Ugh. For a second straight week I fell just below the median score, dropping to the 62nd percentile on the season. VanDam blew it again, missing the first cut and finishing 59th out of 93. Ick. I should’ve played Ike at 25th, but instead of KVD, not Reese, who did what he was supposed to [...]
