THE FAVORITES
Five anglers who stand the best chances to win the Forrest Wood Cup Thursday through Sunday at Lake Lanier:
Tom Mann, Jr.: The Buford veteran knows Lanier better than anyone else in the field. He's on everyone's list as the one to beat. Expect him to make the final cut to six for Sunday.
Luke Clausen: A part-time resident of Gainesville, he is adept at catching spotted bass, which he did better than anyone else to win the 2004 Cup at Logan Martin Lake, Ala.
Jason Meninger: The rookie also from Gainesville knows the lake and is a master at catching suspended spotted bass. Those fish are almost mandatory to win a late-summer tournament at Lanier.
Anthony Gagliardi: The 2006 FLW Angler of the Year from Prosperity, S.C., is well-regarded for his deep off-shore fishing abilities, which will be vital on Lanier.
Scott Suggs: The Bryant, Ark., angler won the 2007 Cup on Lake Ouachita, Ark., by catching suspended bass out of submerged treetops. That's a Lanier pattern.
