There’s no award for quickest limit each day, but if there were James Elam would have taken it today. With a 6:45 a.m. takeoff, Elam had five in the livewell that weighed 15-10 by 7:32. It other words, it was 47-minute limit.
Elam came into the AOY Championship in 28th place in the points standings on the season, so he’s secured his Bassmaster Classic berth this week. He started today in 8th place with 44-9 at Mille Lacs.
