Greg Hackney lost us when he ran to new water about an hour ago. In between we were dealing with a camera boat going down (mechanical problems) and getting a Bassmaster LIVE camera into the boat with Brandon Card. By the time we got back with Hackney near the mouth of the Washita River, he had two more keepers in the livewell. He’s fishing bushes on a point. And he has culled up ounces twice since we arrived. We believe, using advanced conservative counting techniques (three guys sitting in a boat arguing), he has 12 and a half pounds of bass in his livewell. We’d be willing to place a bet on that number at the Choctaw Casino and Resort. It should be noted that we are not higher rollers. More in the nickel slots category. However if we were betting with someone else’s money we’d say he really has 13 to 13-8.
Either way, Hackney moves into the lead.
This is going to be a close one ladies and gentlemen. Swindle is charging. And Brandon Card is fishing like his life depends on it.
