Day Two notes

There's not a lot for the pros to cheer about at the end of Day Two at the Diamond Drive.

A Pro’s Approach

Even the seasoned pros, like Boyd Duckett, can't seem to figure out what is going on at Lake Dardanelle.

Rookies settle in

It seems that it takes just about six days for these Elite Rookies to find their comfort zone, and it's during the Diamond Drive on Lake Dardanelle.

Why you NEVER give up

A knock on my hotel door. Outside is Elite Bassmaster pro Brian Clark. In his hand is a drained iPod.

Green egg & ham

A man's best friend is his dog — a charcoal broiled foot long with mustard, relish and a hot sauce that melts fillings. If not for barbecue sauce there would be no reason for chickens.

Top Rookies Adjust to Elite Series

Two rookies are ready for the Elite Series, Matt Herron and Billy McCraghen are among the pros at the Diamond Drive on Lake Dardanelle.
