OK I won't spoil it but the final round last night was another fun one :)

My favorite section was the last 10 minutes. There's KVD, his hair is matted. He's looking kinda wounded, like a guy who has thrown reaction in the wind for 4 days straight. His reel is making a sound that says, "I've been abused help!"

The wind is blowing a steady 12. He's landing fish on a crankbait, unhooking them barehanded, weighing and releasing them so fast it makes all the other competitors look like kids. Like kids at a farm pond with a worm. Serious. It's just a display.

You seldom see these guys looking like this. Haggard and vicious. McClelland says he's never fished so hard in as a long as he can remember. They all have a kind of wild-eyed look to them by the end. It's great :)

Biggest laugh for me was at the trophy presentation when everyone walks on stage holding a Busch beer. When I first heard about this format my initial thought was that this sounds like a Bass-n-Tubes tourney. The cheap beer proved it. ROFL.

Great stuff, can't wait for the next one.
