For the 2nd year in a row Jason Holmer of the blog Minnesota Bass Fishing has won the Bass Pundit Minnesocold Bass Bloggers Derby also taking Big Bass honors for the 2nd straight year with another 7lber. Jason's 5 fish creel went 28.32lbs which unbelievably is .60 of a pound less than his Derby record bag of last year.
2nd Place goes to Rich's Bassin Blog with an impressive 27.35lb bag.
3rd Place goes to JoshDouglas.com blog with 25.32lbs
This year 16 blogs had fish, which is 1 more entrant than last year and actually 2 more blogs than last year because my friend Pete who isn't a blogger, but was in the Derby last year.
This was my best Derby yet with 23.50lbs.

Matt Peters with a Hawg
Truth be told, last year it's very possible that Bass Pro/Fishing Guide Matt Peters of fishwithmatt.com would have won the BP Derby if he would have only given weights or lengths for some of the massive fish he caught last year. Also problematic with Matt is he is usually fishing with others and you don't know who caught what fish when there was some form of measurement to go by.
Anyway, I'm Facebook friends with Matt and he posted this picture there and actually gave a weight, so it counts. I have no doubt that Matt would be in the lead right now if he were to go out of his way to let me know the size of fish he has caught since Saturday.
6.20lbs
OOPS was discovered that Matt didn't catch this fish. Off the board it goes.
