Shane LeHew told me he caught 10 bass in a row just before I pulled up in him. And BASSTrakk showed him just out of the Top 10.
And then he opened the livewell to check his fish and realized something was amiss.
“I can’t count,” he said.
He had failed to cull a fish during his earlier flurry, so there were six bass rising in the livewell.
He called trip and reported the infraction, and was not happy about his mistake.
“That’s a 2-pound penalty,” LeHew said. “That probably cost me a chance at making the Top 10.”
