He sacked em on day 2 with a flat side crank bait and had a limit in the boat by 7:05 am. He culled several times and by the end of the day that limit included a 7.35 lb kicker. Congratulations Nathan!
Clyde Williams, Houston Bass Bandits, wins the Co-angler division with a six fish two day total of 14.46 lbs. The cool thing about Clyde’s day 2 sack was a 10.42 lb kicker that was a beauty! Congrats Clyde on breaking the 10 lb mark.
