Canterbury boats 5-pounder

Scott Canterbury just caught a 5 pounder, which gives him three bass for 11-4 and moves him back into third place on BASSTrakk.

“That’s the first cast I’ve made to that brush pile during the tournament,” he said. “I may have fished it in practice but I didn’t catch anything.

“Two more fish like that and I’ll idle the rest of the day.”

Canterbury is indeed focused on brush piles for now. He’ll spend 10 or 15 minutes on one, then move on to the next one. Minutes after catching the five pounder he departed.

“I like to show them different baits,” he said. Sometimes you’ll show them a worm and they don’t bite. Then you’ll show them a crankbait. You have to be flexible.”
