As we’ve all come to know, some anglers’ BASSTrakk totals are more accurate than others. So no matter what you see as the final totals on BASSTrakk in this nail-biter of a finish, the winner will most likely remain in doubt until the fish hit the weigh-in scales at Bon Secours Wellness Center.
But Day 1 might offer some clues as to whose official weights and BASSTrakk weights will be in or out of sync. For example, Matt Lee was the only angler whose BASSTrakk and official weights matched exactly – 14-1. His brother Jordan was one of the sand-baggers, showing 16-0 on BASSTrakk and officially weighing 18-10. Brent Ehrler sand-bagged some as well, registering 15-13 on BASSTrakk and 17-8 officially. Jason Christie is one of the biggest sand-baggers on the circuit, but he simply doesn’t have much to underestimate today.
