No quit in Avena

Adrian Avena isn’t going down without a fight in this matchup of Jersey boys with Mike Iaconelli. Avena has gone back to the small bridge where he caught his first two keepers yesterday, and he’s put two 3-pounders on the scoreboard – a 3-2 and a 3-4. The first one came on a jig, and the second hit a wacky-rigged worm.

Avena (21-0) has cut Iaconelli’s (23-4) lead to 2 pounds, 4 ounces.
