Todd Faircloth just caught his third keeper of the morning. My boat mate Steve Bowman believes that fish put Faircloth into the Classic. "I think that did it," said Faircloth. "Don't you?"
Bowman asked Faircloth if he felt he'd be in this position a month or two ago. "Absolutely not," replied the Texan, who is often a man of few words.
"I feel pretty good," said Faircloth, with a big smile. "I'll feel even better with two more fish."
