John Crews made the top 48/Day 2 cut by an ounce yesterday, finishing in 47th place with 27-6. The Day 2 standings are bunched so tight that everyone has a chance to qualify for Sunday’s top 10 final. Crews is making a bid to do so, thanks in part to the 5-pound, 3-ounce bass he landed at 7:54 a.m. The 42-year-old Elite Series veteran has moved up to 20th place in the BassTrakk standings with a limit weighing 13-15.
After suffering through an uncharacteristically tough 2020 season, where he finished 69th in the Angler of the Year standings, the 12-time Bassmaster Classic qualifier is back on his game. Crews entered this event ranked 26th in the AOY standings this season.
