FLW Top 10 Fantasy Fishing Anglers
Jay Yelas heads into the tournament with the bulls eye of being last season’s points leader on his back. He can best be described as a relatively consistent performer – he’s turned in eleven top ten finishes of 40 career events, which isn’t bad for the fast lane of professional fishing. The only blemish on an otherwise stellar wire to wire 2007 season for him was a very mediocre FLW Championship Tournament, where he placed 76th to net a mere $1000 – his weakest payout in four years in fishing that tournament.
Pursuing Yelas will be Shinichi Fukae. The No. 2 seeded angler last season, he finished mere points out of the top spot. He also has a few intangibles working in his favor. For one, unlike Yelas’ career, which dates back to 1997, Fukae has fished 39 events since 2004. He’s won two events and placed in the top ten a stellar eleven times. With recent experience and high productivity on his side, fantasy players should be wary of being deceived by Yelas’ number one ranking.
Plugging along in the No. 3 slot is Mark Davis. With numbers roughly comparable to the first two seeds – a career win and eight top ten placements in 36 events – Davis could contribute to a fantasy team over the season; he placed an acceptable 12th at the championship tournament last season and has seeded as high as fourth at the event in his career, so he could make a splash if everything aligns for him.
One guy who has to be assumed to have something to offer to fantasy players is David Dudley, last season’s fourth seed. A frequent competitor by virtue of having worked 119 tournaments since 1995, Dudley has shown both consistency and the ability to put up a monster weekend with 24 top ten finishes and four career wins. He’s also put up when it counts, winning the 2003 tour championship tournament.
The fifth slot went to Gabe Bolivar last year. His numbers haven’t been anything to write home about to this point – 35 tournament finishes with four top ten placements and zero wins – but he’s been around long enough that he could produce for a fantasy player willing to take a chance on him. In 2006 and 2007 he placed 23rd and 35th at the tour championship tournament, respectively, so he’s shown he isn’t completely out of his element when the chips are down.
Mark Rose’s career looks a lot like David Dudley’s, and he can be expected to be a major asset to any fantasy team he’s on over the season. He’s placed in 128 tournaments since 1995, good for fifteen top ten finishes and a single career win. His history shows him to be a solid fisherman and no one should be uncomfortable with him representing them on their team.
The seventh seed, Tennessee’s Andy Morgan, can easily be considered a top-tier player. A veteran of 155 tournaments since the ’95 campaign, he’s placed in the top ten 38 times and has shown the ability to turn in first place caliber weekend with 8 career wins. Included in his top ten finishes are a fifth and sixth showing at two of the tour championships he’s fished, and he might be worth keeping an eye on for that event this year as he tries to bounce back from his worst showing there last year, when he came in 48th.
Katsutoshi Furusawa is a fairly new addition to the tour, having worked 40 tournaments since 2002. Last season was his first as professional (rather than a co-angler) and he could do quite well on his own, with four career top ten finishes and a victory to his name.
Of similar experience to Furusawa but with a bit more historical success is the ninth slot’s Brent Ehrler. Having fished in 35 events since 2003, Ehrler has a very efficient ten top ten finishes and an impressive two career wins. At that rate, he is a virtual lock to contribute tangibly to any fantasy player who wishes to take him on.
Wrapping up the top ten is a veteran who can be expected to chip in to whichever teams he winds up on this fantasy season – John Sappington placed in the top ten eleven times since 1995 in 104 career events. His one win was a big one – the 2002 tour championship tournament. He’s another guy who, over the course of the season, will bring at least a bit of reward to players who put faith in him.

1,510 points. Beat that Suckers!
57th percentile. Hmm - maybe not so hot. Winner of Lake Toho got 5,200 odd points.
3rd April is the next tournament. Tune in for adrenelene fuelled fishing action.
Bring it on...

Aye, that's the problem, unc, these guys fish for freshwater bass, a species we don't have in the UK, so I'm almost as much in the dark as you. And their competition fishing is big bucks over there! In Britain, how many have ever heard of 4 times Coarse Angling World Champion, Bob Nudd MBE?unc wrote:Registration has closed I think. Not sure whether you can register just for subsequent rounds.
I know nothing about the sport (is it even a sport ? ) - just registered for a laugh . Any tips appreciated, although a detailed knowledge of US sport fishing would be required.
Having said that, I've read a bit about bass fishing and know about spinning, flyfishing, baits, lures, etc., so if there's any terminology I can help you all with, just ask.
Tight lines, y'all.

Mr Fisher sounded like he must know what he was doing. This was proved right when he was my only player (?) who made the cut.
