With one keeper fish in the boat for about two pounds, Austin Felix has picked up the frog and started slinging it across the grass. Felix knows one fish isn’t going to punch his ticket for Championship Monday and he know that as stingy as Chickamauga has been this week, he’s not likely to bring a limit of five to the stage with just over an hour left to fish.
Much like the situation Chad Pipkens was in yesterday when he capped his day off with a 7-11, the Elite Series Rookie is going to have to land a big bite or the clock may strike twelve on his derby.
I would imagine the thought of being second place in Bassmaster Angler of the Year points as well as the current leader in Rookie of the Year points is weighing on the young angler but there’s still time on the clock for Felix.
