Bryan New finished in a tie for 31st place with 14 pounds, 15 ounces yesterday. He said he burned $140 worth of gas and ran 116 miles to do so. The 31-year-old Elite Series rookie from Belmont, N.C., has been much more efficient today. New had a 5-bass limit weighing 16-7 at 6:40 this morning.
“I ran a lot,” New said. “I don’t think I’m going to run 116 miles today. Maybe just 100.”
New said he’s caught them on two baits today – a Zoom Ol’ Monster worm and a Berkley Dredger crankbait.
