Justin Lucas took the lead, theoretically, in the Toyota Angler of the Year race yesterday. It seems he’s celebrating this morning.
“This spot is firing now,” screamed Lucas, after making four drifts and hooking up four times with, “Four giants! Well, they’re not giants, just good ones.”
Let’s put it this way: Lucas has self-reported five bass weighing 19 pounds, and that appears several pounds shy of reality, I think. Whatever the case, Lucas started the day in 5th place, a little more than 3 pounds out of the lead, and he’s almost assured himself of making today’s Top 12 cut.
