Cook with three

Toyota Angler of the Year and Rookie of the Year leader Drew Cook is fishing up the Pee Dee River and has three fish for just more than 4 pounds, with his anchor being a 1.1-pounder.

“The thing is, that’s a pretty good fish,” Cook said of his heaviest bass. “Those 1- to 2-pound bass are nice fish.

“And if you get that 3-pounder, then you’re in business.”

Basstrakk currently shows Cook in 16th, just less than 5 pounds behind leader Rob Digh.
