Bob Downey landed a difference-maker at 10 o’clock. As we have seen over the previous two days, anything in the neighborhood of six pounds changes the game this week at Lake Guntersville. Downey caught a 6-5 that opens the door for him to make the cut to tomorrow’s top 10 finale.
Downey, an Elite Series rookie from Hudson, Wis., was 12th on Day 1 and dropped to 16th on Day 2. But the standings are so tight that Downey now has a shot – for sure.
