Way too close to call

It’s fitting that the most dramatic weigh-in of the 2018 Bassmaster Elite Series has been saved for the last day of the regular season. At 2:45, ahead of a 3 p.m. check-in time, BASSTrakk showed three anglers – Brandon Lester, Justin Lucas and Josh Bertrand – within 4 ounces of each other.

David Walker is 2 pounds, 4 ounces back of Lester, the unofficial leader. Remember, this is BASSTrakk, and therefore a guesstimation, at best. I’ve seen 2 pounds, 4 ounces be within the “margin of error” when the fish are finally put on the scales of truth.

As Julie Roumbanis, wife of Elite Series angler Fred, once said, “BASSTrakk is like a cheatin’ boyfriend – nothing but lies, lies, lies.”

We’ll soon know had the biggest bass tales today.
