AOY watch

Here’s what to watch for based on current trends with Toyota Bassmaster Angler of the Year. Brandon Card stands to gain a lot of ground should he continue his success this week.

Card was 43rd in the standings going into this tournament. Another riser will be Bobby Lane, 10th in the AOY points. Just behind him is Dustin Connell, 11th place and Dave Lefebre, 7th in the point standings. Keith Poche will move up too, since he is 13th in the AOY standings.

Other top anglers in the AOY standings stand to keep their position. Todd Faircloth, Jason Christie, Seth Feider and Fletcher Shyrock are in the AOY top 10 and also fairing well in this tournament.

Ott DeFoe, the leader will likely retain his lead with second place angler Jason Williamson currently 93rd in the tournament standings.
