It appears Kevin VanDam is going to grind out the final minutes of this tournament in this spot just north of Frontenac Park. He’s caught a couple of fish here that didn’t help him. And he’s swung and missed a couple of times.
VanDam is pitching a Strike King Ocho to holes in this grass flat. It’s probably too late to run anywhere else now, and he’s had just enough encouragement to keep him here.
According to BASSTrakk, it’s going to be tight. We think VanDam has a little more than the 15-3 it’s showing him with, but we’re talking ounces, not pounds. And the word on the water is that Brett Hite’s last fish is at least a pound bigger than the 2 1/2-pounder credited on BASSTrakk.
