Bass Nation Championship Underway

Bud Kennedy · November 11, 2020, 11:39:50 AM

Bass Nation champion will be crowned this week on Pickwick. Does anyone know if Hellabass is there? If so what is his Name. Would like to follow on Bass Trakk

I believe his name is Rich Lindgren and is currently shown in Third Place with an early limit. Go Get EM Hellabass.

That's him

Rich finished day 1 in Fourth but less than one pound out of first. Pretty Good First Day at 15-4

That's why us Southern folks can't catch crap at the Pick, Ohio, Vermont, Oregon all in the top 5

The worm will turn today, front came through yesterday.....

Mike Cork · November 12, 2020, 11:49:38 AM

The front has put a serious lock jaw on the fish... only about a third of the field has even caught one. Rich is hanging in there with 2 decent ones though

Can anyone find who gets to go to the classic from this?

Used to be that the top angler from each division got to go, so Rich wouldn't have to win but rather be the top angler from his region...

No their are only three anglers going to the classic and I can't find how they determine that? Is it just the top three?

Bud Kennedy · November 12, 2020, 06:11:41 PM

I can't figure it out. Too many rules to comprehend. Rich finished today in 11th. Two other norther division anglers are ahead of him so in therory Rich will be fishing on Friday in the Championship round. I however am not sure of that. I thought it was just the top 10 but the secondary rules indicate that one angler from each division will fish on Friday unless they are already qualified by a top 10 finish. What ever, Guess I will have to look on Bass Trakk tomorrow to find out. Rich was only 2 oz out of 10th after a fairly dismal day today only weighing 2 fish. What ever happens I think we can all congratulate Hellabass on a great journey to get to the Nationals. Who knows....Maybe it is not over yet.

Bud Kennedy · November 12, 2020, 07:41:00 PM

Rich has posted on his Facebook page that his season is over. I guess that answers the question if he was or was not fishing tomorrow. Rich it was a heck of a journey and we here at Ultimate Bass congratulate you for making the National event. That sir is quite an accomplishment even though you are a bit disappointed at this moment. We salute your skill as a bass angler and know you will get back there and win the whole deal in the 2021 campaign.

I seen he finished first out, but what an accomplishment

Congratulations Rich! You Da Man
