One bite away

Yesterday, six anglers failed to weigh a bass, and that’s not the end of the world.

How so?

Because they are one bite away from extending their tournament here. The Top 50 cut weight is 5 pounds, 7 ounces, and came with only 3 bass brought to the scales. So, it won’t take much to fish an extra day.

And don’t think getting to fish just one more day here is not such a big deal. The 2021 Bassmaster Elite Season just began, but if later on you are staring at being on the bubble for the Bassmaster Classic, just one missed day could make a difference.

At the cut line, it’s only 7 ounces to get inside the Top 50. Never give up, as the saying goes, because you never know how much it will matter toward the end.
