Alton Jones finally departed the area where he spent the first two and a half hours of the day and only caught one two-pound bass. He moved about a half mile and quickly caught a two-pound largemouth. That gave him about 4 pounds for the day. If that weight was added to BASSTrakk he’d move up to in approximately 50th place. With only two keepers he has plenty of room to move up.
Before the move Jones got testy when Mike Iaconelli started fishing about 300 yards away. Jones asked him to leave and Iaconelli declined. That interaction may have been a sign of Jones growing frustration with his slow morning.
