The Jacobs Cup

   The Jacobs Cup. One of the highest paying tournaments in the world of competitive bass fishing is nearly here. Of course, everyone wants to know who has a good chance at taking home the $500,000. If you view the FLW virtual championship on the FLW Outdoors website, then you can see exactly who everyone thinks will win. Otherwise, read on.

   This is the tournament for the FLW pros. Not even the Opens pay this much. With the bracket format, every pro has to beat 13 competitors to win. Some pros, like Dan Morehead, have been doing that well all season. However, you can count on the competition getting tough as the tournament goes on.

   There have been some dominating performances this season, such as by Steve Kennedy on Dan Morehead with his 2003 FLW Angler of the Year trophy. Kentucky Lake when he won by over 10 pounds, and Paul Elias on the Atchafalaya Basin. Pat Fisher did the same on Lake Okeechobee. However, the most dominating player in the field so far this year has undeniably been Dan Morehead. He has done very well this season, which included winning the Beaver Lake event and the 2003 AOY award. Even back in June, when interviewed by UltimateBassin.com, Morehead admitted that the Jacobs Cup was his goal.
