It took until 10:30 a.m., but Jamie Hartman put his fifth keeper in the boat and put himself back in the thick of the race for the title. BASSTrakk shows leader Seth Feider, second-place Hartman and third-place Brandon Palaniuk within a pound of each other.
Hartman caught his last fish on a Riot Baits Lil’ Creeper jig. “It was a reaction bite,” he said. “He hit it on the drop.”
