Good Story Kim is one of my 10 year old daughters main role-models (whos name is also Kim) and she follows Kims progress on the us circuit near obsessively, She is also a fantastic ambassador for both Australia and for fishing in general and has done fantastic things for promoting fishing to the ladies and young ladies. An aussie legend in the making. GT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slinkymalinky Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Go Kim! I've been reading Kim Bain's articles for years and following her fishing on the US tournament circuit for a while... some very knowledgeable people have told me she's one of the best fisho's anywhere... she's shaking up the establishment big time. Hope she does well... it can only be great for us getting more coverage on telly of fishing. Cheers, Slinky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hodgey Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 A very talented and humble young lady. Her enthusiasm is contagious Regardless of the outcome of the tournament, she is already a winner. Best of luck to Kim ... and have fun!

arpie Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 (edited) Live weigh-in is on now! Half way thru the field ....... Kim has just been weighed in!!! 2 fish weighing in at 3lb 6oz. Still 25 anglers to weigh in & there are 2 blokes below her, so not doing too bad! 2 more days to go! http://proxy.espn.go.com/outdoors/bassmast...ournamentId=882 Edited February 20, 2009 by Roberta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennmreid Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Good to see an aussie competing with the americans. hope she does well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arpie Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Just heard them say that only 25 go thru to fish the Sunday! (about half the field) So far, Kim is in the lower half of the field, but not on the bottom! I think it is a 3 day tournament, so hopefully she will get a good bag tomorrow to keep her in the hunt!

arpie Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Kim got a 8lb 12oz bag today for 5 fish taking her overall tally to 7 fish for 12lb 2oz. Pretty good, I reckon, given the amount of pressure on her to perform! She came 47th out of 51 but at least didn't get any doughnuts (as did a few of the guys, on both days!) Looks like the top 25 go thru to the final tomorrow. Roberta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamtime Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 (edited) Can confirm that Roberta. have been watching all afternoon. Some of those rigs are crazy, must be topping 50-75 knots. I will re-iterate what the commentators have been saying. This is probably the only sport where gender has no bearing on the outcome. "The fish don't know that it is a female on the other end of the rod". 6lbs against 30+ lbs just doesn't wash with me. Credit to her that she topped the all female list in the womens competition, but these guys are like lions. Some of these guys are just damned crazy. Kelly, I think his name is, has just completed a triple heart bypass operation and I am pretty certain that he made the final cut of 25 anglers for the final day. Have not seen one angler from the 51 competing tolling a lure. Some are catching Bass in 12 inches of water. Something to do with the love bug. That the shallower water warms up much quicker obviously, than the deeper water. Edited February 22, 2009 by Mariner 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
