Yelas moves from 90th to top 10

Jay Yelas has been a full-time pro angler for 33 years. The 55-year-old Lincoln City, Ore., resident has seen it all. Maybe that’s the key to not hanging your head after a 90th place finish on Day 1 at Lake Fork this week. Yelas weighed an 11-pound, 2-ounce limit to finish 90th Thursday. He moved up inside the two-day cut yesterday with 21-5 that left him in 48th place. That’s an achievement in itself. But Yelas is making a bid to fish in Sunday’s final. At noon today, Yelas has 28-1 and has moved into 9th place.
