#1 Firetiger vs. #2 White Bellied Perch

Tom Page Division:

#1 Orange Bellied Perch vs. #2 Night Shiner

Jon MacSwan Division:

#1 Black vs. #14 Lac Seul Perch

Capt. Larry Jones Division:

#1 Niagara Walleye vs. #6 Black with Pink Belly

[Scott McKee]

Scime: #2 White Bellied Perch

Page: Night or day?  Very tough.  I don't seem to catch many big fish until November.  When I'm against the end of the season and my season hangs in the balance I tend to fish in the daytime.  With that in mind, #1 Orange Bellied Perch.  Sorry to see you go Night Shiner.

MacSwan: Lac Seul Perch is a nice story.  A fourteen seed making it all the way to the Elite Eight has been quite a run.  Lac Seul Perch is just a perch variation and since I've already voted for the two best perch variations,, I'll vote for #1 Black.

Jones: This is the toughest of all the games in the tournament thus far for me.  My Niagara Walleye Depthraider and jointed 10" Believer are two of my most productive lures ever.  My Black with Pink Belly Plow was taken from me by a snag in the South Gap on the last day of the season in 2000, the year it landed three muskies in less than a week, two of which were 50-inch fish and were caught 45 minutes apart.  I have had little success on Black with Pink Belly since.  I don't fish it much anymore, but there was a time when it was my number one color in the Harbor or the River.  How to decide?  Flip a coin I guess.  Heads = Niagara Walleye.  Tails = Black with Pink Belly...  Tails it is.  I vote for #6 Black with Pink Belly.  I just wish I still had that Plow.  My vote may not have been left to chance if I hadn't lost it.

Voting for these games is now closed.  #14 Lac Seul Perch's Cinderella story comes to an end in the MacSwan Division after getting trounced by Black.  All of the other number one seeds advanced easily as well.

We are down to the Final Four in the Hard Bodied Bait Tournament.  I thought my little tournament would really interest the members, but it only seemed to interest Tony Scime, Tom Page, Joe Dolan, Joe Wilczewski and Carrie Keane.  Thanks for humoring me and voting gang.

I've posted the Final Four Games.
