Forgedabout It!
Maybe I should just call it now. That first bass Jason Holmer of Minnesota Bass Fishing Blog is 7lbs even. In the second picture you get to see the 7 with a 6.06 and 5.81and 1 that would have culled for him but he didn't weigh it. So basically he has 3 massive culls and should have had 4!!!

Uh OH! Our derby leader the blog Minnesota Bass Fishing seems to have disappeared, though I can bring it up with Google. I hope they get things squared away.
Update: I figured out that he slightly changed the URL which used to be kind of goofy. The URL now is http://minnesotabass.blogspot.com/ .

Art Simms catches another 5 pounder, fills limit, and culls.
How do you win the Bass Pundit Minnesocold Bass Bloggers Derby 2009? If 2008 is any indication, you do it by catching 5lb bass and Art has his second. He caught the 5.25lb donkey in a tournament on Green Lake (Chisago). Not surprisingly it was the tournament "Big Bass." Look for Art to have a report on his blog soon.
