Bassmaster Elite Series pro Chris Lane caught a 23-14 sack today to move into the lead at the Harris Chain Bassmaster Southern Open with a 2-day total of 44-06. He holds an advantage of 5 pounds over 2nd-place Clifford Pirch.
“I really had to slow down and change some things,” Lane said. “The fish changed overnight because it was a little colder. The water temperature was 58 degrees this morning, when it had been in the low 60s on previous mornings.”
Day-1 leader Tim Frederick managed just 10-08 today and dropped to 3rd with 38-11. Will Evans was 4th with 36-11 and Keith Carson 5th with 35-04.
After catching just three fish for 6-02 on day 1, Elite Series angler Keith Poche weighed a tournament-best 25-03 today to make the cut in 9th. Big-bass honors went to Elite Series rookie Jared Miller, whose 11-10 bruiser is the largest bass ever caught in B.A.S.S. competition at the Harris Chain.
