Todd Faircloth just put largemouth number four into his livewell. It was another 2-pounder, so that gives him around 8 or 9 pounds so far. He had just missed a bite, so when he set the hook this time he did it dramatically, with a big body lean and a strong curve in his rod. That made me think the fish was bigger. Faircloth is fishing slow, steady and calmly. Those words might also be used to describe the tall Texan’s personality.
