Caleb Kuphall, who has led this tournament from Day 1, has demonstrated why someone is going to have to take this tournament from him. He’s not giving it away. The Wisconsin native, who turned 38 years old on Tuesday, landed a 5-12 at 9:24.
“That’s a giant,” Kuphall (pronounced “koo-fall”) said. “That’s what we’re looking for. I don’t know why he dropped (the jig) the first time. It had to be the same fish.”
Kuphall followed that with a 4-4 minutes later. It gives him 18-14 today and he’s leading this tournament by just over 10 pounds, according to BassTrakk.
