Less than two hours into this tournament, Bernie Schultz has laid the foundation for a monster day at the St. Lawrence River. The Gainesville, Fla., pro has long had a reputation for doing well on northern smallmouth waters. He’s living up to that reputation with a 5-pounder at 8:12 a.m. and topping it with a 6-pounder at 8:40. Schultz has two other keepers, including a 3-8, for a total of 15-13. He shouldn’t have a problem topping the 20-pound mark today.
