A new addition to our Elite Series and FLW Tour coverage in 2015 will be a Best Bets feature for which BassFan will be asking an angler from a different circuit to give us his Top 4 picks and a dark horse along with their perspectives for the upcoming event (for example, we'll quiz an FLW Tour angler for Elite Series events and vice versa).
For this week’s Lake Toho FLW Tour, we tapped Elite Series angler Chad Morgenthaler for obvious reasons. As a former FLW tour pro himself, he’s pretty familiar with many of the competitors and, more importantly, he won the Bassmaster Southern Open at Toho back in January.
Here are Chad’s picks to click:
1. Andy Morgan
> Morgenthaler says: “I just think it’ll set up to fish to his strengths. He’s a solid all-around angler and if it’s tough, it’s going to play into his hands.”
2. Stacey King
> Morgenthaler says: “He fishes slow and methodically and I think he’ll catch ‘em that way.”
3. Jacob Wheeler
> Morgenthaler says: “I know he’s been practicing his flipping a lot and he’s getting better and better at it. ”
4. Drew Benton
> Morgenthaler says: “He was all over me the first two days (of the Open) and he had a good idea of what was going on.”
DH. Larry Nixon
> Morgenthaler says: “He’s fished Florida for years now and if the worm bite turns on, it’ll be stupid.”
