Gerald Swindle just joked about catching—and weighing—an 11-ounce bass. Normally that would be reason to laugh. On a weigh-in stage the tiny catch would be the target of laughs and a photo op. In this tournament it’s seriously a huge catch.
Swindle’s 11-ounce score—his first and only of the day—now puts him with 7 pounds, 8 ounces at the midpoint of his match with Mike McClelland. He has 5-5 and just caught his first fish of the day.
