Day 2 leader Brandon Card was calm, cool, and collected this morning early, in spite of the fact that what he’s been calling the “Hammer Hole,” was quiet. “That’s fishing for you,” Card said. “You have to crack the code. I’m not going to get in too big a hurry. Throw some different baits.”
With great patience, Card has seemingly “cracked the code” with a hair jig. “Working a little Tennessee River action, folks,” he said. Card didn’t have his first keeper until 9:09 a.m. He caught his fifth keeper at 10:27. Card’s 17-13 limit has him back in first place.
