Jeff Gustafson hit another rocky point and in the background Drew Benton was landing what appears to be a 3- to 4-pound smallmouth.
Benton shows on BASSTrakk to have a limit of around 15 pounds. This one will likely give him a bump.
Like Gussy, he’s fighting to try and make tomorrow’s final. But more than anything he’s scratching and clawing for AOY points. He had a slow start here after starting the event in 4th of that season-long race.
After Day 1 he had dropped to 8th. Rebounded some on yesterday and moved back to 5th.
He’s having a decent start today and could continue climbing if he stays on course.
