John Murray has one goal at this week's Toho Bassmaster Elite Series – catch a single keeper. If he does that, he's in the Bassmaster Classic. It might be a challenge though, because he's had a rough practice. For his full report, click here to go On Tour With the BassFan Big Sticks.
Also notable is that BASS Angler of the Year leader Skeet Reese has been keeping a low profile. But he and Murray room together on the road. About Reese's mindset and practice, Murray said: "He hasn't been lighting the world on fire, but he's been picking up a little each day. I think he feels he can scrape together five. But like me, he hasn't had any big fish."
