Field Tested — We Keep Score

Brief No. 1: Whitefish Chain, Junior Bass Federation TOC

Before anyone launched a boat, the brief called the target weight, the post-front dud day, and the exact color of soft plastic that caught every single tournament fish.

What the brief nailed

  • Target weight 12–16 lb — weighed 12.54
  • "Saturday will lie" — zero fish on the post-front prefish day, exactly as predicted
  • Black & blue soft plastics — 100% of tournament fish
  • Deep weed-edge structure as the pattern family

What it got wrong

  • Called the wrong end of the chain — the money water was two lakes over
  • Called docks a pattern — docks produced zero all weekend
  • Depth band ran shallow — steep breaks to 21 ft won it

Honest scorecards are the whole point. Every miss teaches the engine something — after this one, it learned to read lake structure instead of trusting whichever lake has the most internet chatter.
