Lots of folks still in the hunt, leader is at 16 lbs and change. Last year's winner, Brandon Palaniuk is in trouble, 90th place.

Last year's winner will be working hard for his sponsors on Sunday. I'm really impressed by him, but he's toast for this one, and will likely have to win an event to get in the next classic.

Yeah. I hope Brandon can just go fish tomorrow. He's really really good, I think he's just having some issues keeping him from just being himself. We all overthink things from time to time, I'd like to see him just relax and have fun catching bass. I feel for him, been there before in my own (non-bass fishing) career.
