It’s beginning to look like Jamie Hartman will be atop the Lake Champlain leaderboard for the second day in a row. A 4 3/4-pound smallmouth caught at 1:58 gives Hartman a 20-pound bag today, and he’s fired up about it.
“Look at that hammer,” Hartman said as he lifted the bass in his boat. “That will get your heart going.” His two-day total is now 42-1, according to BASSTrakk.
