Pirch’s 9-13 new big bass leader

Clifford Pirch has illustrated how quickly you can be healed at Lake Fork. The Payson, Ariz., pro began the day languishing in 80th place after finishing with a 13-5 limit on Day 1. Interestingly, 13-5 was 50th place after Day 1 in 2019 at Lake Fork. Anyway, Pirch had some ground to make up if he was going to make the top 49 cut today. He did it in one fell scoop of a 9-pound, 13-ounce bass at 12:44. It moved him up to 35th place on BassTrakk. Pirch still has a 1-7 and a 2-10 in his 5-bass limit, so there’s plenty of room to upgrade his current weight of 20-13.
