Hartman moves back into lead

Jamie Hartman moved back into the lead with a four pound largemouth.
This was his fourth keeper.  That’s our estimate on the size from 40
yards away. His patience on these bedding fish paid off.

He’s fishing the spawn now. Earlier in the day he was fishing deeper,
catching post spawn bass.

Hartman has committed to the Elite Series like few others. He sold his
house in Newport, New York, put his possessions in storage, and broke
up with his girlfriend. Without those commitments, Hartman has had
time to pre-fish events like Toledo Bend.
