Tyler Rivet currently has the heaviest bag of the day – 16-5, according to BASSTrakk. The 26-year-old, Raceland, La., pro needed it after Day 1 when Rivet was 55th with 10-11.
Photographer Dalton Tumblin has been following Rivet this morning. He reports that Rivet has caught his fish on a Jackhammer Chatterbait with skirt colors that were customized last night. He calls his new Chatterbait color the “Yum Yum Kitty Run Run,” and all five keepers came on the new custom color. Rivet has switched to punching matted vegetation now.
Rivet is well on his way to another top 40 finish. He was 26th last week at Lake Guntersville.
