Morgenthaler lands key fish at noon

Chad Morgenthaler wasn’t able to take advantage of the early morning bite. He had only a single 1-pound keeper in his livewell approaching the noon hour. Nothing like a 3 1/2-pounder at 11:58 to improve your outlook on life. Morgenthaler has a lot on the line this week, as he came in ranked 47th in the AOY standings.
