We left Elias to sit with Matt Reed. As soon as we pulled up he caught his limit fish, a 2-pounder.
That was his smallest in the well. He has a 6, 5 and a 4 to go with two keepers. He figures 19-pounds total. And like all these pros, he was quick to point out "it's not enough."
That could be the case for Reed. He should have enough to fish Friday, but he's a heavy favorite in this event. My guess is he still has visions of winning, which means he needs to be knocking on the 30-pound door by day's end.
