Jacob Powroznik just landed a 4 pound 3 ounce smallmouth. This one brings his total to 16-8 which is two pounds better than Ish Monroe’s 14-8. So far, every time Ish makes a charge, Powroznik counter punches with an upgrade. “Yeah baby!” shouted Powroznik after catching the big smallie. Then he kissed the beautiful bass and said, “Thank you Lord,” and slid it back into Pokegama Lake.
“He’s doing textbook offshore fishing,” said veteran Bassmaster photographer James Overstreet. “Those fish he’s seeing on the bottom tend to be ready to eat. If they’re suspended they’re harder to catch.”
