Herren breaks 5-hour drought

Matt Herren began this day with a flurry. But he went just over five hours before adding to the 17-pound, 3-ounce limit he had in the first 90 minutes today.

Herren is smiling again now. He landed a 4-3 at 12:28 that gives him 18-9 today and puts him within ounces of the lead, according to BASSTrakk.

The noon hour is apparently feeding time all over Lake Guntersville. Caleb Sumrall continued his mid-day flurry with a 5-4 at 12:32 and Matt Arey has added his big bass of the day, a 5-pounder, at 12:41.
