Rarely do you see an Elite Series angler with only one rod strapped down on the boat deck. Drew Benton offered one of those rare sights today. Sure, he’s got a rod locker full of other rods stored below deck. But it’s a signal of Benton’s commitment to spawning bass today at Lake Fork.
Being “One Rod Todd” hasn’t paid off in a big way for Benton – yet. But it’s early and he’s having some success, including this 5-pound, 7-ounce bass with the tell-tale signs of a spawner on its tail. Benton had four bass totaling 14-11 at 8:45 a.m.
