Mercury College B.A.S.S. West Super Regional Day Two On the Water

The Arkansas team of Mook Miller and Kyle Billingsley work along a grassy shoreline early on Day Two of the Mercury College B.A.S.S. West Super Regional.

As Miller hooks up, Billingsley jumps to the front of the boat with the net.

The Arkansas team congratulates each other after their first good keeper enters the boat on Friday.

Miller puts the Lake Dardanelle bass into the livewell and adds some ice to counter the hot day.

Mook Miller hooks up again shortly and Billingsley is close behind with the net.

The fish makes a jump near the boat and Billingsley stretches out.

This largemouth is safely in the boat, but it won’t measure the 15-inch minimum to keep.

Mook Miller flips to patches of grass as a camera films the action for ESPNU.

Bryan Partak from Southern Illinois University stretches back to make a long cast on Day Two.

The team from Texas A&M was in fourth place after one day of fishing on Lake Dardanelle.

Weston Brown flips one of the many bridges on the lake.

Shortly, Brown is hooked up with a fish off the edge of the grass.

Brown gets ready to swing the bass into the boat.

This small largemouth is not big enough to keep.

Stephen Becka has been fishing with a brace on his left leg all week after having surgery on his torn ACL two weeks earlier.

Weston Brown sets the hook on another bass a short time later.

A small fish like this is easily swung into the boat.

And tossed back just as unceremoniously.
