Luke Claussen led after the first day with a 5 fish limit that weighed around 30 lbs....Ike's 17 lb catch is disqualified....Lots of big fish weighed in, but you would figure that out by fishing the spawn on a Florida lake....

Why was the 17 lb fish disqualified?

Swampy, he didnt have a 17 lb fish but a limit that did.....When he found out he hadnt turned on his aerators his fish were either dead or dying...He put some stuff in his livewell....He was cussing cuz they were ESPN was bleeping out about every other word, he proceeded to take out his frustrations on his back running light...he bent it and tried to pull it out, so BASS disqualified him for unsportsman like conduct..Go figure..

That dipchit has taken his act a little too far.

Couldn't happen to a nicer A-hole IMHO! When he first came on the scene I thought he might breath a little life into things. I think he has read too much of his own press clipping. I think he is an obnoxious azz. Note to Ike: You don't have to scream everytime you catch a forkin' fish. Act like you've done it before.

Can anyone name the fisherman who has been DQed in a Bassmasters Classic TWICE? Yep, one and the same Ike.

At least we wont have to see his act tomorrow at the final weigh in......

Last time it was for fishing in a no fishin' zone right?

I, for one, am tired of the antics...

He doesn't bring anything. Marten and some of the other new guys have just as much talent and are more interesting to me. I hope Berkley gets enough complaints to drop Iconelli.

IIFID, ding, ding ding....we have a winner about the DQ....A lot of people say that he knew he wasnt going to win that one and wanted the national exposure...If you remember the phone call was on film because he was fishing a dock that was off limits....What a whore to a camera

I have only seen him once. I thought he was a turd and turned off the tv.

I think he's an asset to the sport, minus the et.

You would. See Jigman's reply....

Funny- I think Ranger just kicked his donkey to the curb due to his tirade.

Yep I think that they saw the Azz part of asset.
