Update on Brad Whatley

We caught up with Brad Whatley and the Texan with the excellent Fu Manchu mustache said he’s had a tough day so far with about 10 pounds in the livewell.

But overall he was feeling good about fishing on Day 3.

“It’s been a good tournament, decent I’d say. I wish I had caught 22 pound out of that big school I found on Day 1.”

Whatley had a good practice and was catching fish shallow. But he hasn’t been able to replicate that pattern during the tournament. He’s currently in 35th place in BASSTrakk.

He told us he saw a giant Asian carp jump out of the water and asked if we had seen them as well. The answer was no.

Whatley is leaving Eufaula in the morning driving to Muskogee, Oklahoma, to compete in the Central Open on the Arkansas River.

Travel safe Brad and good luck in Oklahoma!
