The importance of a St. Johns River game-changing bass has been repeatedly illustrated in the last couple of hours. The latest examples come from Greg DiPalma and Gary Clouse. Both had fallen into the danger zone of not making today’s top 47 cut. DiPalma was in 32nd place and Clouse in 40th after Day 1. Both were struggling today with only a couple of small keepers, then came the game-changers.
DiPalma caught an 8-pounder at 12:31 that vaulted him into 14th place in the unofficial BassTrakk standings. Clouse landed a 7-9 at 1:06 which moved him into 15th place on BassTrakk. Those are two great examples of how quickly anyone’s fortunes can change here.
