Bill Lowen is another one of those anglers who is rather quietly making a run at the Toyota Angler of the Year title. Lowen had a “false start” in the opener at the St. Johns River with a 47th place finish. But since then he’s finished 23rd at Lake Lanier, 7th at Lake Hartwell, 12th at Winyah Bay and 21st at Lake Fork.
Lowen rallied from 25th place on Day 1 at Guntersville with a 19-9 bag yesterday to move up to 8th in this tournament and, potentially, 3rd in the AOY race, depending on the final standings. He’s got a small limit so far today. He hopes to, at least, cull everything but the 3-pounder in his livewell now.
