<b>THREE</b> pros (other than himself) that Scroggins chose for his B.A.S.S. Fantasy Fishing team here on his home waters this week: Cliff Prince – he also grew up here; Shaw Grigsby – he only lives an hour away, and when the bass are on spawning beds, he may very well be the best sight fisherman that’s ever lived; Todd Faircloth – he seemingly catches ’em everywhere we go, and he finished really high here in 2012.

<b>ONE</b> guess what the winning weight will be: 82 pounds. Scroggins added that he thought an average catch of 12 or 13 pounds a day would be good enough to land in the Top 50 which is necessary to haul home a paycheck.
