Three Bags Over 22
Back-To-Back 19s Push Fralick To The Top

Photo: BassFan Jami Fralick thinks his area will hold up if only two anglers (he and 6th-place Brian Snowden) are fishing it tomorrow.

He's leading the Classic with 1 day left to fish, and with that comes the spotlight, the questions, the cameras, the pressure, and most likely a multifold increase in spectators tomorrow.

Fralick, though, doesn't seem overwhelmed. He's calm (by appearance), confident, and ready to complete the job he feels he was born to do.

He's in that position because he's the only competitor to weigh better than 19 pounds 2 days in a row, which gives him a 38-09 total. He's been remarkably steady against a field that, for the most part, experienced wild swings in weight.

Fralick's swimming a jig Pool 4 and sharing water with 6th-place Brian Snowden. Casey Ashley, who caught 22-11 (the day's best bag) fished there briefly yesterday, then left, but returned today.

That created some anxiety, but Fralick noted that Snowden talked with Ashley after the weigh-in, and Ashley won't fish the spot tomorrow. Bobby Lane (13th) is within sight of them, but he's fishing across a dike that separates the two areas.

Notable too is Snowden largely gave the area to Fralick today and only fished it for an hour. There's a concern there that two anglers might be too much for the area to produce the winning weight.

Skeet Reese weighed 22-09 today and rocketed up 11 spots into the No. 2 position – 8 ounces in back of Fralick. Reese is fishing near Bobo's hole in Pool 5, and caught most of his fish on a hot stretch.

Edwin Evers climbed significantly today (from 8th to 3rd) with a 19-03 limit from Pool 4. It appears he'll have the area to himself tomorrow.

Kelly Jordon sacked 20-05 today, which he caught in a single hour, to move up seven spots to 4th. He decided not to fish Bobo's again and went to a spot where he was able to fish alone.

Aaron Martens struck out in Bobo's today, but caught 17-09 from his backup area, and left when he started culling ounces instead of pounds. So he appears to have quite a few fish left. And he weighed 18-01 yesterday, so he's been relatively consistent, but needs to land a big bite to push his weight up to 20. He slipped one spot to 5th.

The field is now cut to the Top 25. Here's a look the Top 12. Total weight is followed by distance from leader in red.

1. Jami Fralick: 38-09
2. Skeet Reese: 38-01 (0-08)
3. Edwin Evers: 36-03 (2-06)
4. Kelly Jordon: 35-15 (2-10)
5. Aaron Martens: 35-10 (2-15)
6. Brian Snowden: 34-13 (3-12)
7. Dave Wolak: 34-06 (4-03)
8. Mark Davis: 34-02 (4-07)
9. Michael Iaconelli: 33-15 (4-10)
9. Boyd Duckett: 33-15 (4-10)
11. Casey Ashley: 32-08 (6-01)
12. Dean Rojas: 31-15 (6-10)

Day 1 leader Boyd Duckett stuck with Bobo's until the bitter end and scraped together 13-12, which dropped him to 9th.

Fred Roumbanis and Scott Rook also fell. Roumbanis weighed three for 5-08 and plummeted from 3rd to 29th. He's not fishing tomorrow. Rook weighed three for 6-11, fell from 6th to 27th, and likewise packed up his rods.

Other notable downward movements were Terry Fitzpatrick (5th to 18th) and Randy Howell (9th to 23rd).

Significant climbers outside the Top 5 included Snowden (12th to 6th), Mark Davis (26th to 8th) and Ashley (34th to 11th).

A large cold front passed through the area today with heavy rains and significant winds from the north. The temperature plummeted and skies cleared as the front passed, but the bite was clearly better during the front than it was yesterday. The clouds and rain turned on the crankbait and spinnerbait bite, but hurt the flipping bite.

Fralick's lead is certainly slim, but he may have the boat-traffic advantage. Spectator traffic is much lighter in Pool 4. Reese, on the other hand, is fishing a well-known area that's near several major marinas.

Slightly Slower for Fralick

> Day 2: 5, 19-06 (10, 38-09)

Fralicks's weighed two big sacks that were nearly identical in weight (19-03 and 19-06) and he's caught them the exact same way. It just took him a bit longer to compile his day-2 weight.

"It was pretty much the same thing, except yesterday I caught them real quick," he said. "Today it was more of a grind – just one here and one there. It seemed like every fish I'd get a bite, so I just kept fishing around in there."

"I've caught all my fish on the same jig – casting it and swimming it. I'm fishing it in 2 1/2 feet of water and I'm pulling (the jig) about a foot underneath."

He boated nine keepers today and his best was a little over 4 1/2 pounds. He anticipates another good day tomorrow if he and Snowden are the only competitors in the Pool-4 hot spot.

"The potential's there to catch 20 or 21 pounds and with just two of us, it fishes pretty big. A third boat shrinks it down a lot."

He has no trepidation regarding the weather forecast, which calls for bluebird conditions similar to what the field experienced on day 1.

"I caught them good when it was sunny (on Friday). It should pull them back to those targets and I'll have a lot of isolated stuff to fish."

2nd: Reese Camped and Caught 'Em

> Day 2: 5, 22-09 (10, 38-01)

Reese spent all day on the same bank and made a big move toward the top. His sack included two fish in the 6-pound range and a spinnerbait was part of his arsenal.

"I fished all new water I hadn't touched and figured out how to get a couple of big bites," he said. "They're pre-spawn males and females and they're wanting to get up there and play."

He tooled around on his trolling motor the entire time and experienced a bit of a scare at the end of the day when his big engine wouldn't turn over. He had booster cables, though, and got a jump-start from a spectator.

He's unsure whether that area will produce again tomorrow.

"If it's super-cold with high pressure, those are the worst possible conditions. I'm a little concerned because I hammered it pretty good today, but I'll have to go back and grind and see if any more big ones are around."

He's in position to make a run at the Classic crown for the second time in 3 years. At age 40 and with an Elite Series Angler-of-the-Year title to his credit, a win here would be huge.

"It would mean my career has been solidified."

Photo: ESPN Outdoors Unlike yesterday, Edwin Evers only lost one fish today.

> Day 2: 5, 19-03 (10, 36-03)

Evers improved over yesterday by about 2 pounds. He didn't do anything different than yesterday, but got a little better quality.

Notable about his spot is he said it's protected from a north or south wind. Winds are expected to be light tomorrow, but were blowing hard late this afternoon, which could hurt other areas that are more exposed.

But the wind today did give Evers some problems. "It made it a lot harder to catch them," he said. "I was trying to fish real slow, and the wind was pretty brutal. It made the bait move a lot faster, and the water was definitely murkier. But it can't get more muddy – it's protected."

About whether he thinks he can win, he said: "I definitely could be the guy. No doubt about it. But there's still another whole day left. There's a long ways between here and that trophy. There's lots of fish to catch, and lots of competitors."

About what could hurt him tomorrow, he said: "Not landing my bites, or breaking down. I lost one fish all day long today – I don't know that it would have mattered. But I brought a bunch of fish over stuff where I should have lost a bunch of them. Today it went my way, yesterday it didn't."

4th: Jordon 'Rolled' With The Red

> Day 2: 5, 20-05 (10, 35-15)

"It feels excellent," Jordon said of his 20-pound sack. "I knew I was around that kind of fish, it was just a matter of catching them. But a lot of guys are around fish like that. The difference today was I caught two 5-pounders, where yesterday I had one."

He did the "same thing" he did yesterday, but fished a different area. He's got two primary areas, he said. One of them's near Bobo's, while the other's an isolated spot where he's never seen another boat.

He didn't fish Bobo's today – he fished his other spot – and loaded the boat there. He didn't go to Bobo's today because he felt it was a flipping bite and it would be off with the clouds and rain.

"When you're not flipping, that lets you open up and fish a little faster. But it might have been a mistake (not to fish Bobo's). The biggest fish I know of are where Boyd and Aaron are (in Bobo's).

"I think the weather tomorrow may make it tougher," he added. "But it may make the flipping bite better. You just have to roll with the punches on the Red - you have to roll with the river."

About whether he thinks he can win, he said: "Yes, if they bite, and if I get the right bites. I have the areas that have the fish to win. I know that for sure."

About what it would mean to win, he said: "It's a lifelong dream. Every kid that's grown up fishing – it's your dream not only to compete, but to win. And you'd be in that different peer group with guys like Denny Brauer and Larry Nixon."

5th: Martens' Move Paid Off

> Day 2: 5, 17-09 (10, 35-10)

Martens abandoned the Pool-5 community area he'd shared with Duckett and several others when the action was slow this morning. He went to his backup spot and came back just a half-pound lighter than on day 1.

The action there was fast and furious – he got 20 bites and boated all but a couple. He estimated one of those at 4 1/2 pounds.

He said the fish he caught were males, so he thinks the area has the potential to kick out a winning bag.

"There's a lot of fish in there – it was better than it was in practice," he said. "If the sun comes out tomorrow, it might position those females.

"It should be good no matter what because it's sheltered. The other area is exposed and cold."

He flipped wood and got all of his bites within a 3 1/2-hour span. He'd had only one bite at his starting location and that one pulled off.

"I was pretty panicked when I still didn't have a fish at 10:00."

Photo: BassFan Kelly Jordon thinks the flipping bite might be back on tomorrow.

> Day 2: 5, 19-04 (10, 34-13)

Snowden caught quality fish from two locales – the one he shares with Fralick and a backup spot he hit first thing this morning so that Fralick could have the primary area to himself for awhile.

"I started in another area and caught two nice ones," he said. "I made a couple of passes there and got to (the shared area) at about 10:00. I was done in an hour."

He already has a victory to his credit this year – he won the Professional Anglers Association (PAA) Tournament Series opener in Florida last month. This is his fourth Classic and the first time he's made the cut.

Like Fralick, he thinks the shared hole has plenty of potential for the final day.

"I just don't know what the cold will do to it. That and the fact that it's been fished pretty hard are the two biggest factors."

7th: Wolak Consistent

> Day 2: 5, 17-00 (10, 34-06)

Wolak's bag was just 6 ounces lighter than the one he caught on day 1, and he went about it in mostly the same fashion.

"It took me until about 11:00 to catch a limit," he said. "I had two small ones, like 1 1/2-pounders – and I culled those with two that were close to 3. I pulled off at about 11:30.

He got about nine bites in his Pool-4 locale and missed a couple of them. He brought two 4 1/2-pounders to the scale.

He caught one fish off a bed and said the others were cruisers. After he had his weight, he checked on a backup area and found one angler in the vicinity, but nobody on the particular stretch he was concerned about.

The lack of company in both places gives him confidence that he has plenty of fish left for tomorrow, but he's slightly worried about the weather.

"I'm making real precise casts to wood, and the sun makes the wood harder to see."

8th: Davis Walloped 'Em

> Day 2: 5, 22-07 (10, 34-02)

Davis told BassFans yesterday that it wasn't a cranking day. The sun killed that bite, so he had to switch to plastics and weighed just 11-11.

Different story today. The clouds and rain meant the crank was on big-time, and weighed the day's third-best bag at 22-07.

"It was a cranking day," he said. "I had two good schools of fish caught, and those bigger fish in the school wouldn't bite yesterday. They were very inactive.

"It feels good," he added, in reference to his comeback catch. "There's no use worrying about what happened yesterday, or didn't happen yesterday. But I lost one great big fish yesterday that would have made a difference and given me real shot at winning this tournament. I feel like I did learn a little more today about how to catch some of those fish though."

He's on Pool 4 and has the area to himself. He can see one other competitor, he said.

About tomorrow, he noted: "If the wind blows tomorrow, I think I can catch some cranking. If it's calm and still, you'll have to flip and fish slow with a jig. They won't be biting a crankbait."

9th: Duckett's Fish Locked Down

> Day 2: 5, 13-12 (10, 33-15)

Duckett had to wait out the fish in his spot in Pool 5 and finally got some to cooperate during the latter part of the day. He suffered through an extremely slow morning.

"They just wouldn't bite today," he said. "There were a lot of spectators around and I was getting a lot of short-strikers and I missed several – all of that stuff that happens when they're not biting right.

"Everybody finally left and they started biting in the last hour, but they were babies."

He stayed with a Berkley PowerBait Chigger Craw as his primary bait, but also tried some subtler presentations. Nothing was wildly effective today.

"With the weather the way it was, I would've thought they would've been roaming in there and that I could've caught them while they were swimming around. But maybe I needed the sunshine."

He should get that again tomorrow.

9th: Ike's Bite Picked Up

> Day 2: 5, 18-10 (10, 33-15)

Iaconelli spent his second straight day on a big flat with a slightly deeper depression in the middle. He had it all to himself again and weighed his second straight strong bag.

"They bit a lot better today and I'm sure it was because the falling barometer triggered them," he said. "I got 15 bites today and landed 14, so that was a lot better ratio than yesterday. Of course, the one I lost would've helped me a little bit."

He said his fish are still pre-spawners that are waiting to move to a nearby sandy bank and begin the reproduction ritual. He thinks there are plenty of them left for tomorrow and that he has a reasonable shot at winning, but he also expects the action to slow down a bit.

"I kind of think it might not be as good. But even it gets tougher, I still have confidence because I know what kind of fish are there.

"I just hope I didn't dig myself too big of a hole – I should've had 18 yesterday instead of 15. I'll need this much or better to have a shot tomorrow."

11th: Ashley Pleased

> Day 2: 5, 22-11 (10, 32-08)

As noted, Ashley caught fish near Fralick and Snowden today. "Today I saw just how big a mistake I made yesterday," Ashley said. "It was actually the first place I stopped the first day of practice. I thought when I went in there (in practice) that the best I could do was 10 to 12 pounds. After what happened there yesterday (he was frustrated fishing behind people) I went in there to catch me a quick five.

"The first one was a 2-pounder, the next a 5 1/2, the next a 4, the next a 4 1/2. I had 18 or 19 pounds by 10:00. It feels good, especially after a day like yesterday. Going out this morning I knew I needed to catch a big sack to be in contention. It feels good when a plan comes together. It doesn't always happen like that."

12th: Rojas Disappointed

> Day 2: 5, 16-02 (10, 31-15)

Rojas said he threw a Big Bite Trick Stick all day today and stayed in a single area.

"I basically stayed out of the wind. I had a little protected area and I caught all I could get out of there today.

"I felt really good going into this," he added. "But today was such a disappointing day because of where I ended up. It's something you work so hard for, and you want to win. I'm kind of bummed. I watched all these 18- and 20-pound sacks coming in, and that doesn't make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside."

13th: Lane Saving Hyacinth

> Day 2: 5, 18-12 (10, 31-14)

Lane fished his same area today – it's in Pool 4 and across a dike from Fralick, Snowden and Ashley. His 18-12 limit today moved him up from 24th to 13th.

He'll fish the same are tomorrow, he said, but he'll spend the final hour flipping some hyacinth he's been saving.

"I can promise you that tomorrow I'll fish for 6 hours in Pool 4 harder than I've ever fished in my life," he added. "And I can't hold back on that hyacinth anymore. With the high pressure and that sun, I'm going to get that big 1 1/2-ounce weight out, which is something I've not done yet.

"My spot died at about 12:00 today, so I should have an hour and a half to do some dunking."

14th: Pugh Lost 'Giant'

> Day 2: 5, 16-11 (10, 30-11)

Pugh's catch today moved him up six places to 14th. He lost a big fish in the exact same place he lost a big fish yesterday – "a real giant," he said.

"Maybe tomorrow I can come in with a big stringer and surprise them. I didn't have as much pressure today – there was only one boat in there this morning – but the fish didn't bite nearly as well. I caught a little bit better quality though."

15th: McClelland Capitalized

> Day 2: 5, 16-08 (10, 30-06)

McClelland threw a spinnerbait most of the day and backed it up with some flipping fish. He said the gloomy weather made his fish easier to catch.

"I was able to dial them in a little better," he said. "I basically went through the same area, but I adjusted a little bit and hit a few little deals that I didn't hit yesterday, and that ended up helping me."

He caught about a dozen keepers, the biggest of which was a 4 1/2-pounder.

"It was pretty well over for me at 12:30. I tried to expand a little bit in the same area, but nothing came together."

"I feel like the opportuntiy (for a huge bag) is there, but I just don't know if these fish are pulling in or if they live in that backwater. There were more fish grouped up in there today and there was one spot that I caught four or five in a row off of.

A small duck blind has produced eight bites for him over the 2 days. "It's got poles on each of the four corners and one corner has some good brush on it."

16th: Wirth Made Changes

> Day 2: 5, 15-02 (10, 30-05)

Wirth said he went out with a whole new plan today, but the results were almost exactly the same as on day 1.

"I struggled a little bit at the start, but it got consistently better," he said. "They were just coming one at a time."

He caught eight keepers for the day and his best was a 4 1/2-pounder. He expects to be forced to make more adjustments tomorrow.

"I'll go back up there and try to figure it out. I'll just have to fish around and see if I can connect up, because when you get a bite it tells you something."

17th: Lowen Moved Over

> Day 2: 5, 14-14 (10, 29-10)

Lowen was beaten to his primary spot by several of his fellow competitors, so he fished a place adjacent to it and weighed his second straight solid sack.

"It was pretty slow at first," he said. "By noon I had five in the boat that weighed about 7 pounds. But then the front came in and I adjusted a little and it got a lot better."

He ended up catching more than a dozen keepers, including a pair of 4-pounders. He doesn't know whether any of his water has the capability of surrendering a monstrous sack on the final day.

"I'm not sure about tomorrow. It depends on how cold it gets tonight and what kind of weather we get."

18th: Schmidt Happy

> Day 2: 5, 13-11 (10, 29-00)

Federation Nation qualifier Bryan Schmidt slipped three spots to make the cut in 18th.

"I fished the same area, but the bite I was on yesterday morning didn't work," he said. "I made a quick adjustment, caught some real quick then left the area, but never got another big bite. I caught six keepers and culled once.

"I think I've performed well, considering how my practice went," he added. "I managed to catch five keepers both days, and I'm happy with that."

19th: Clouds Hurt Fitzpatrick

> Day 2: 5, 9-06 (10, 27-06)

Terry Fitzpatrick of Iowa headed up a trio of BASS Federation Nation anglers (there were six in all) who made the cut. He slacked off today, though – his bag was barely half as big as his day-1 haul.

"The wind and not having the sun out is what did it," he said. "When the sun comes up, it positions those fish real well."

He's throwing a 1/4-ounce, double-willow leaf spinnerbait at woody targets. He's caught fish off of stumps and laydowns, but his best specimens have come from underneath floating logs.

"It's a backwater bayou with a channel against the bank, and that kind of helps replenish it. The fish use the channel as a highway."

20th: Hackney's Quality Lacking

> Day 2: 5, 13-13 (10, 26-06)

Greg Hackney said he caught about 30 keepers today, but all were small males that were on beds.

"Those fish went to bedding and I missed it until today," he said. "As cold as the nights have been, I'd thought they were still pre-spawn and I'd been fishing the mats.

"Once I figured it out, they were easy to catch – they're stupid."

He shared the area with Evers, but will stay away from it tomorrow. Evers' portion had most of the big females.

"I watched Edwin catch all those fish in about an hour. They were spooky in the sunny weather, but today he just backed off and hammered them.

"He caught all of them in one 50-yard stretch and never moved the boat."

21st: Jones Lost Monster

> Day 2: 5, 12-12 (10, 26-01)

Alton Jones said a fish he lost today would have been enough to put him in the Top 6.

"It might have been a 10-pounder – it was way over 8 pounds. I found it this afternoon on a bed and I caught the male, which was a 2-pounder, then threw my tube back over there. She was in a big mess of logs and my tube got hung up and I broke it off. I picked up my other rod with a tube and broke it off too.

"I threw out a 6-inch Yum Dinger, and the big one was still sitting there, but I decided I needed to re-rig a tube. I laid the rod down on the deck, bent down for almost a minute, then heard a noise – it was my rod taking off across the deck."

The rod was about to go over but he grabbed it at the last minute. The fish still had the bait and he set the hook. She was hooked well on 50-pound braid, he said, but she got the line caught in a small laydown, flopped around for 20 seconds, and was gone by the time he could reach her.

"My heart just sank. I had 5 minutes left before I had to go in. It was game over."

22nd: Hill Bounced Back

> Day 2: 5, 16-12 (10, 25-12)

Kenyon Hill recovered from a 9-pound opening day to make the cut as he moved up 15 notches in the standings.

"I just moved around a little bit and went fishing some, and I ended up catching some decent fish. I was around a lot of fish yesterday, too, but I just didn't get them to bite. Sometimes they bite and sometimes they don't."

He locked down to Pool 4 again and caught six keepers. His best fish was about 4 pounds.

23rd: Howell Gave Ground

> Day 2: 5, 9-02 (10, 25-05)

Randy Howell dropped 14 places in the standings today as the fish in the community area he'd been splitting up with Duckett, Martens and others went cold.

"It wasn't good today and I don't understand it," he said. "I only had three with an hour to go and then I caught the last two.

"I left with an hour and a half to go and didn't catch any, so I went back. I don't understand why they bit so good in other places, but not there."

23rd: Good Day for Evans

> Day 2: 5, 15-09

Montana's Jay Evans gained 15 places in the standings today to become the third Federation Nation angler to make the cut.

"I thought the two good fish I lost yesterday were going to come back to haunt me," he said.

He started the day in the same place in Pool 4 where he'd caught his small limit on day 1. He didn't connect with any big ones there, but fared much better at his second stop.

25th: Grigsby's Run Produced

> Day 2: 5, 16-07 (10, 25-02)

Shaw Grigsby made the long run to the far reaches of Pool 3 again, but this time with much better results. He moved up 13 places to secure the final position inside the cut.

"I caught lots (of keepers)," he said. "I thought I was going to be able to do the same thing yesterday, but I didn't."

His sack was headed up by a 4-pounder.

"The first five I caught weighed pretty good, and then I improved a little bit from there."

Notable

> Day 2 stats – 52 anglers, 38 limits (1 fewer than yesterday), 2 fours, 6 threes, 3 twos, 1 one, 1 zero.

> Tim Horton recorded the zero after he withdrew from today's competition. A flu and dehydration resulted in a kidney stone, and he went the emergency room last night.

> Edwin Evers and his wife had their first child last week. Asked if that's perhaps helping him in this event, he said: "I guess (so). It's my first baby. Maybe I need to have one every week."

> The CenturyTel center was filled to its 9,300-person capacity for weigh-in today, and fans were turned away at the door. BASS reported 2,000 fans at this morning's launch, and 60,423 fans at the Outdoors Expo. According to BASS, that Expo attendance eclipses typical 3-day Expo attendances. Bass country? You bet.
