Anglers often talk about adjustments being the key to tournament success. Sometimes they’re subtle adjustments. Other times they’re more dramatic. Brandon Card’s adjustment today would go in the latter category, as in he wasn’t throwing a jerkbait yesterday and he’s got 22-8 on a jerkbait today.
“It’s about making adjustments,” said Card, who was third on Day 1 with 27-6. “I never even threw a jerkbait yesterday. Not one cast.”
He may not put it down today. Card landed a 5-9 at 8:06 and a 6-2 at 8:12 this morning. Both bass absolutely choked his Yo-Zuri jerkbait. Card noted that the 5-9 hit the bait so hard it knocked slack in the line, like a jig bite.
