Location: Fremont, Wisconsin | 40.67 to the cut, 66.78 for the win. This is not to say someone might have a 30# plus bag one day. This will be interesting. |

| I'm guessing 87.5 to win. There are plenty of big fish out there just not as easy to target right now. If your convinced the bigs are gone take a look at last years MWS event. Couldn't even cash a check with 30#. |
|
| |
|
| Not a chance you will make the cut with less than 50....and 80+ for a win.... |
|
| |
|
| 8lb+ average for the win.
6-7lb average to make the cut.
|
|
| |
|
| I re-worked my math.
120 lb's for win
expect to see several 40lb+ days.
|
|

|
| Storms might mess a few things up but I will say 58.5 to make the cut and 108 for the win, |

| I can see around 40 for "one" day..... but, I don't think anybody will be consistent with that kind of weight. Some nice fish are coming north, but no numbers that I've heard of yet and lots of alewifes. Couple more weeks, ya....... but not yet. Too much competition.
I think this will be won south of Oconto. 25-26lbs a day to make the cut. I've heard of some good pre-fish reports. Somewhere around 85-90lbs to win??? Great time of year to have this! Make's it very interesting and exciting...... Can't wait to see how this thing shakes out! Whom ever wins this, will deserve it! I think this event will be close, right to the end. Nail bitter.... no blow outs.
Best of luck to everyone!

| Alewives are in tight up north. Might as well fish in your pool. As for the MWS comment and the big weights, that tournament is held the second week of August. Totally different bite. 44-48 to make the cut, 77-81 to win. |

| Any word on how many players in this event? I heard nearly 70 pro's. Sonny, if you read this for my own selfish reasons, pick a different month for next year 
The big fish are disappearing, anyone that can't admitt that hasn't been fishing Green Bay long enough to know the difference.
5 fish, 6 in the box your day is done, 2 years ago was a struggle to box limits of 23" fish in the FLW League. I'll take 43.45# to make the cut. I also think someone will hit the "long ball" in this event because of the heat..things could set up just right but it won't lock in a win. 83.88# for the win. |

I'd agree with you on that Jayman.
It could be ugly up there. 75 to win.

Agreed, even during the great FLW bite in '06 and MWC '05 I think there were only a handful of baskets over 35 lbs.
This is a 3 day tournament, Butz won in '06 with an avg. of 27.25 lbs per day for a 4 day tournament... |

| Jayman I'm glad to finally finally finally hear someone say what I've been telling people for the last three years! Green Bays Big fish are steadily dissappearing. Not to say the big fish aren't out there but those large schools of big fish are long gone. |

| The big fish have been dissapearing since '06. The Noll brothers and the FLW put the lower bay big fish bite on display for the whole world to see. The DNR aided the situation by changeing the daily limit from 3 fish to 5 fish, before you knew it all the meat hawgs from 'Bago were up every weekend coming home with their cooler that they had to show everyone to let the whole neighborhood know that they are the best figleaf fisherman on the block.
Prior to that I would say Green bay was mostly a tourney angler playground highly backed by C-N-R. The good ole days are gone.
I said exactly what you're saying, The General, about 3 years ago and I was ridiculed that I didn't know what I was talking about. |

| Jayman I agree, but don't blame the Bago meat hawgs, I have plenty of friends right up here close to the bay that will not through a fish back to save there AS@#!$# but will be the 1st ones crying when its to late!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  |

| Couldn't have been said better Jayman! When are people going to wake up and realize what there doing. Pretty soon the size structure is going to be similiar to bago. Pretty soon they will all be 15" to 20". Enough said, 78# for the win. |

Location: Manitowoc WI | 6lb average seems quite common right now. unless im missing something? If you really think the big fish are gone, your probably thinking of Winnebago very very very few big fish caught in the majors this year. Green bay appears normal as in numbers of big fish to me.
Remember the growth rate of walleyes on green bay is extremely fast. The resource has increased in amounts of bait. Every species in green bay is has an endless buffet of gobies.
If there is anything to complain about, it is the farkles that are making instructional video's on how to limit out on 21 inch fish every day and then posting the videos on lake-link. 1 moron posting 1 video has as much impact as the entire FLW event.
