As 1:30 p.m. approached, the top 50 cutline was looking as crowded as usual. David Walker and Terry Scroggins are sharing 50th place with 22-3, according to BASSTrakk. An ounce behind them are Brent Ehrler and Adrian Avena.
After Day 1, James Niggemeyer was in the 50th spot with 12-12. If you double that, you get 25-8. That appears to be a little high for today’s cut to the top 50, which is more likely to be around 24 pounds. But Wheeler Lake has been surprisingly good this week and the fish catches have continued to come in steadily on the BASSTrakk Twitter feed, so 25-8 is still a possibility.
