1.Evers’ epic Day 3 morning2.7 Million views
This should come as no surprise to anyone who followed the GEICO Bassmaster Classic this year. It was the perfect storm of an amazing performance by Evers, great photography by Steve Bowman and this gallery was published before noon so plenty of time for people to check it out while waiting for the weigh-in to begin. Covering a fishing tournament can be frustrating because you may arrive too late, may be on the wrong guy, or don’t have the right angle to capture the action. This is one of those times when everything went right.
