Bill Lowen, unable to get the six pounder he’s been calling for this afternoon, has made a generous amount of headway today if you’ve followed Bassmaster Live and BASSTrakk. Heading into Championship Sunday in 10th place, the Xpress Yamaha Pro knew he’d need to roll the dice a little in order to move up the board today.
After a slow start to the morning, we found Lowen out in the river doing what he does best.
This morning, we noted Lowen’s reputation for being a grinder. I asked him about that and he agreed but added that he’d like to have an “easy day” ever once in a while.
With Championship Sunday winding down and the wind seemingly picking up, Lowen told us he’s likely to start the trek back to the ramp a little sooner than yesterday. “I gave myself 40 minutes yesterday and it almost wasn’t enough,” remarked Lowen. “I’ll probably leave a little earlier today.”
We will too! We don’t want to miss out on today’s exciting weigh in and see someone’s dream realized when they hoist that blue trophy.
