Forrest Wood Cup Predictions

[Tennessee Todd]

I gotta a good feeling Wesley Strader is going to pull this one off.

If not Wesley, I look for Justin Lucas, Randall Tharp, or Andy Morgan to win.

 

[Winchester]

I will have to take Andy on this one, he's still rolling from winning the AOY, and its exactly the kind of year that caters to his style of fishing with the cooler temps and higher water than normal most places. He's a machine already and add the confidence of AOY and a shallow water deal like the Red river and he looks stronger than ever imo! Wesley is fishing good right now as well and I think he could be a possible factor also! I would love to see either of these local boys that we grew up fishing with win the big show!!!

What Winchester said. I think that it's Andy's to lose, but who knows. I know that there are a lot of guys that spent a ton of time down there in pre-practice. I predict that John Cox will be a big factor as well. He is going to give up on the pro circuit if he don't win this one (should have determination to win), has experience down there with a win, spent pre-practice time there, and has an aluminum boat which will make it easier to get back into some of those shallow places. We will see tomorrow. I also heard through the grapevine that Michael Neal had found a pretty big load of fish as well. I guess that we will see if he can catch them and if he has any company.

Andy Morgan is a good bet but I wouldn't count out Jason Christie with the type of year he has had. Will likely be someone out of the blue.

Never kept up with the FLW. Andy Morgan... Isn't he in a bullet and local?

Yes, he is from Dayton and switched to a Bullet this year. He won flw angler of the year this year.

Looks like Randall Tharp got it done. Seems like a nice guy and congrats to him being $500,000 richer.

 

[Winchester]

Yep Tharp pulled it off, good thing he had the huge load on day 1 as he needed that cushion.

Here's what Michael Neal from Dayton, Tenn. had to say after winning $45,000 in one of the most prestigious bass tournaments in the world.
