Mullins with a bonus hour

David Mullins, 43rd, 10-6

On Thursday, the takeoff order was from the top of the Bassmaster Angler of the Year order of points. Today, it flipped and David Mullins needs the extra hour more than ever.

BASSTrakk currently shows him in 44th place, or four spots out of the semifinal cut on Saturday. About 30 minutes ago, he scored a crucial 7-pounder to move him closer to making it.

Mullins needs to get inside the cut to make it a competition between he and current leader Clark Wendlandt.
