Greg Hackney takes a peek behind him on the morning of day 4 at Cayuga Lake.

The wind was much more cooperative for Greg Hackney on Sunday morning as he looked to close out the win at the Cayuga Lake Elite Series and he was able to pick apart his key area again first thing.
He caught two quick keepers before 7:30, then landed what was believed to be a 6-pounder as part of a three-fish flurry that helped him finish his limit before 8:30 a.m.
Below is a collection of photos of Hackney during his key flurry.
