A 20-pound bag every day?

Jacob Wheeler predicted there would be multiple 20-pound bags caught in this tournament, but no individual angler would catch more than one over the four-day event. That has proven to be true over the first three days.

In the following statistics, you can see a gradual downward trend in the results from Lake Travis. The first category – fish caught – includes only the five bass that were included on the scorecard in each angler’s limit. The first two days there were 108 anglers competing; on Day 3 there were only 50.
