Lucas pulls the plug

Photographer James Overstreet has spent the entire morning thus far in the hopes of watching Justin Lucas keep surging to maintain his final day lead.

As of now, that’s not the case.

Lucas abandoned his area after putting just 3 small keepers in the livewell. In order to win at this point, all of those dinks must be replaced and time is running short.

Overstreet was told by Lucas that he plans to run 45 minutes to new water. Where that is we’ll never know, unless he finds last-minute success in the area.

On a note of irony Lucas was the only angler to eclipse 20 pounds on Days 1 and 2.
