We’ve pulled off leader Keith Combs, who will likely stay close to the top of the leaderboard. He has about 23 pounds. And outside of winning the derby is pretty well locked into the Classic.
We’ve moved over to Iaconelli, who is actually fighting for his Classic life in this event. He likely has to win to even have a shot. And he needs to stay on pace to get another shot in next week’s Classic Bracket.
For Ike, the stakes are high. Just like Skeet, he doesn’t want to have get in through the Bracket. That will likely turn into a true knife fight next week. And there are likely more folks hoping they don’t have to go head to head with Ike. But every angler would rather get it done this week.
At the moment all we’ve seen him do is bob up and down in this rough lake. You know it’s rough when Ike has his seat out on the front deck and is sitting down to fish.
And now he’s moving. We are headed back into the teeth of this rocking giant.
