After three practice days, Buddy Gross knew a tournament day like this was possible, telling his wife, “We might want to wear masks that cover our whole head. It could be embarrassing before this is over.”
Gross has two keepers weighing a total of 4 pounds as the 2 o’clock hour approaches. It’s been almost five hours since he caught the last one.
“This is brutal today,” he said. “Brutal, brutal.” But if Gross knew what everyone else had, he’d know it’s nothing to be embarrassed about.
“I have no idea what’s been caught today,” he said “But I guarantee you 10 pounds is sitting sweet.”
Yes, it is. Brandon Cobb has 10 pounds and he’s in 6th place, according to BASSTrakk.
