You wouldn’t generally consider a 4-pound bass a “difference-maker.” But it depends on how you look at it. The average weight of all the bass brought to the scales in the first two days at the St. Johns River was 2 1/2 pounds. That’s 756 bass weighing a total of 1,933-2 pounds for an average of 2.56 pounds.
So 4-pounders can be difference-makers in various scenarios, even on the St. Johns River, where big bass honors have gone to Brandon Cobb with a 9-13 on Day 1 and Caleb Sumrall with a 9-7 on Day 2. The goal is to have enough 4-pounders to make a difference.
Tyler Rivet is off to a good start this morning with this 3-pound, 14-ounce bass. Rivet started the day in 29th place with a two-day total of 24-14.
