Feider flippin’ for largemouth

This morning Steve Bowman and I are on Minnesotan Seth Feider who starts the day in 2nd place. He’s fishing in glass smooth St. Albans Bay on the Vermont side of Lake Champlain. We’ve come to know Feider in the past year after his second place finish in the upper Mississippi River and his win at Mille Lacs. And he has a well earned reputation as a smallmouth expert. But don’t assume he’s not a versatile angler. On this Championship Sunday up north, where he is only one pound out of the lead, Feider is fishing for largemouth. He doesn’t have a spinning reel in his hand. Instead he’s flippin a jig.
