Wesley Strader with an upgrade

Tennessee Elite Wesley Strader just landed a 2 and a half pound bass and culled up a half pound. He’s sitting in second in BASSTrakk with 18-9 today.

A little earlier we spent about 30 minutes with him fishing up shallow. “That’s the way this bush deal is,” he said. “You do it for two hours and you get one bite.”

Strader guesstimated he has fished 15 tournaments on Kentucky Lake. “It’s different this year. Normally you catch a bunch of non-keepers in the bushes. This year it’s either a keeper or nothing.”
