Harvey Horne had to lay down on his belly and reach over a cable dock to land a bass earlier to day, and it was worth the effort. Horne, the 43-year-old Elite Series rookie from Bella Vista, Ark., hooked a 4-pound, 10-ounce largemouth bass under the walkway to an old dock about 11 a.m. The video below says it all.
Horne is competing in only his 15th B.A.S.S. tournament. He won the Bass Pro Shops Central Open on the Arkansas River at Muskogee, Okla., last year. He’s among the leaders today, currently in 5th place with 14 pounds, 6-ounces, according to BASSTrakk.
