After sacking up 19 pounds, 9 ounces on Day 1 of the Guaranteed Rate Bassmaster Elite at Lake Oahe, Jeff Gustafson found himself in fourth place headed into Day 2.
After a bumpy ride to his starting spot, Gustafson got to work.
The wind was blowing directly into Gustafson’s spot, making it difficult to control his bait with light line.
Despite the challenging conditions, Gussy boats his first keeper of the morning.
Drew Benton was also fishing the same area.
Gustafson mentioned that he and Benton worked togther on the same spot on Day 1, so this was no real surprise.
The two compared their early notes. It was a slow morning for the first hour or so.
After drifting behind Gustafson’s boat, Benton hooks up with a good fish.

Another good one for Benton.
After making a quick move up the lake, Gustafson hooks up again.
Gussy mentioned that he just wanted to get a limit in the boat and then expand on a few other spots.
Ed Loughran was also fishing the same area.
