Rick Clunn is leading Texas Fest at Lake Fork, and when the Elite season was first jumbled because of COVID-19 cancellations, he said he always enjoyed fall fishing.
“Fall is my favorite time of the year to fish,” he said for this article, which details how he’s had about a third of wins in autumn, starting with his first in 1976 at the Lake Guntersville Classic.
Clunn was at around 24 pounds before noon today after catching a 6-pound, 6-ounce bass along with a 5-9 and a couple 4-pound fish. He lost his lead momentarily, then jumped back up with an 8-9 at 1:08 p.m. for a 29-4 total.
Clunn’s history of winning his 15th and 16th B.A.S.S. titles the past four years on the St. Johns River is well-chronicled. Does he have another in him?
If he does, Clunn would extend his lead in Classic appearances to 33, and he’d have a chance to break his tie for the Classic lead with four titles.
