Swindle enjoys 20-pound morning

Gerald Swindle has thoroughly enjoyed himself on the St. Lawrence River this morning. He’s one of five anglers who’d topped the 20-pound mark at noon today. The 51-year-old, two-time BASS Angler of the Year has caught 12 bass. His best five weigh 20-2, and he’s in fifth place.

Swindle came into this event ranked 28th in the AOY standings. He has practically assured himself a 2022 Bassmaster Classic berth, which would be his 19th Classic in a career that has earned him over $2.2 million in BASS earnings.
