It didn’t produce the heaviest bag or the biggest bass of the tournament, but for overall consistency, Day 3 topped the previous two on Lake Lanier.
Only two of the 35 semifinalists failed to catch a 5-bass limit. And the average weight of the bass brought to the scales was up to 2.85 pounds, after averages of 2.74 on Day 1 and 2.67 on Day 2.
Were those better overall totals due to the weather? Or were they the result of the pros getting a bit more dialed-in? That answer will become clearer at today’s weigh-in.
