Mark Daniels Jr. was languishing with three bass weighing a total of 6 3/4 pounds at 12:30, then he almost doubled his weight with one fish. After a long fight, which took him from one side of his boat to the other, Daniels put the big largemouth on his digital scale, which read 6.19 pounds.
In demonstrating just how important those 6-pounders are, that one fish rocketed Daniels from 13th place to second in the BASSTrakk unofficial standings.
