Gerald Swindle has made a major move toward clinching the Angler of the Year title with one bass – a 4-pounder at 1:19. It gives him 13-8 for the day and has moved him into 11th place, according to BASSTrakk, one spot ahead of Keith Combs.
If Swindle ends up with 13-8 today, it would be a remarkable three-day run of consistency. He weighed 13-9 on Day 1 and 13-7 on Day 2. That would be fitting since the AOY title is all about consistency.
Swindle was frustrated by his inability to catch a big fish yesterday. He didn’t have a 3-pounder in his bag after catching an estimated 50 or 60 fish. That frustration ended with the 4-pounder today.
