Paul Elias wins falcon lake with 132lbs 8oz four day weight, now that sounds like a fun four days.

its on my new vacation spots list )

It’s nice to see one of the old school guys win one for a change.

I came up just a bit shy of that during my weekend fishing adventures...maybe I’ll have to join Top10 on that Falcon Lake trip. 

133 lbs!! that is unbelievable...i hate ohio, and come to think of it, i hate texas too!
i guess everything really is bigger in texas!

Sick just sick the top 12 all topped 100lbs and I think 4 broke Steve Kennedys Clear Lake record.  I’m with Top10 its on my vacation wish list.

My random input on the Falcon Lk. stop....

It was pretty cool seeing Elias win, and watch him employ his old-school deep cranking technique…

132lbs, 8oz is MONSTEROUS! Wow...really, wow.

With that said, I think I’m actually more a fan of tournaments like Old Hickory, where it’s more of a grind, and the “kicker-fish” are 3.5-5lbers...it’s more like my home turf up here in Indiana. Don’t get me wrong, watching the Elite Series pros absolutely drill monsters like they did on Falcon is awesome, but tournies like Old Hickory are equally exciting for me.

Its surprising to see that BASS isnt returning to Falcon in 09 or 10.

I think they want to keep the pressure off the lake, they relized what they have done to Amistad after that tournament a couple of years ago when they went in and blew the doors of the big weight fest there then they went back the following two seasons and everybody out there started vacationing there the lake took a big hit and the weights went down.  Plus they had a big fish kill there after the Bassmasters hot weather to many big fish in the livewells equals fish kill.  I don’t think Bass wants to make the same error with Falcon.
