Making the most of his first Bassmaster Elite Top 10, Marc Frazier enjoyed one of those morning flurries that many have reported this week. From 7:25 to 7:41, Frazier boated five for 16 pounds, 7 ounces and improved from his seventh-place starting spot to second with 88-15.
The first one to limit this morning, Frazier said the solid start was encouraging.
“I definitely feel good about what’s happened so far,” Frazier said. “I had a couple spots where I’d hoped to catch a limit and then go look for big ones, so it’s going as planned.”
As of 8:30, BassTrakk showed the second-year pro from Newnan, Ga. sitting in third place, 4-13 off the lead. Last year’s winner Lee Livesay, who has lead since Day 2, has three for 5-13.
There’s plenty of time for the entire Championship Sunday field to improve their positions. A former college pitcher, Frazier’s well accustomed to competing under pressure.
Maybe today will offer him a home run opportunity.
