Menendez still with one, but…

Mark Menendez still only has one keeper in his livewell. And while that seems slight or lacking, remember with yesterday’s 24-plus-pound sack, he’s only 16-5 pounds out of the lead at the time of this writing.

That means if he can duplicate—or even come close to—yesterday’s total, he’ll likely be in control.

He just said that his impressive limit yesterday came in an hour right around noon. It can happen fast and without warning.

We’ll be sticking with him to see if he can make it happen. BASSTrakk currently has him in 10th with one fish. Menendez will catch four more, at least.

He’s been around this game long enough to understand the value of being patient.
