We spotted Kevin VanDam running up the lake and gave chase. He pulled up to a windy bank and quickly caught two bass that be immediately released. He obviously has his limit.

After another washboard run, we came across Jason Christie fishing a gravel bank on the main lake. When I saw Christie early in the morning on the first day of the tournament, he was cranking fast...
We just made a long washboard run upriver past Lead Hill. The choppy water is the kind of thing that should fire up Kevin VanDam. I'd bet the farm that he's slamming brown bass somewhere on...
We ran to another creek and found Britt Myers. We've been looking for him all morning. He's making long casts to a chunk-rock point at the mouth of a short pocket.

We're still tooling about in Mountain Creek when we spot Gerald "G-Man" Swindle fishing a wind-blown shallow point. Yesterday he was fishing in a different area on a sheet of glass.

Josh Bertrand is fishing a point in a short creek. He has a 9-pound limit. Yesterday he brought three bass to the scales that weighed 12-11. Two more bass yesterday would have made him one of the...
