And then Weidler takes the lead

Less than 20 minutes after John Cox took the unofficial lead with a 4-pounder, Bill Weidler landed a 4-4 that allowed him to cull up to 21-12 and put him in the unofficial BASSTrakk lead, emphasis on “unofficial.” Wow. I’ve been covering the Elite Series since it began in 2006, and I don’t remember another one with an ending as exciting as this. Of course, we didn’t have “Bassmaster LIVE” back in the day, so who knows? But we’re getting a clear picture of how this one is going down, and it is unprecedented.
