Mario--JJ is "new blood" for those that are newer to the sport or haven't been paying attention. Or maybe they mean it in the way not the same ole guys each week.
TJ had a good run earlier, Big Wes a couple of shows, Scroggs has been the most prolific, Duke the other one with many shows. No WRW and some others come to mind.
When, I see guys in a slump not making shows to me it's usally their equipment, roll ins't matching up to the condition well.
The difference between top and 2/3 the way down is very close right now. Bottom 1/3 are the bottom feeders. Wish I was a carp.
