Lane sitting pretty

Chris Lane has certainly had a “Pow!” worthy morning. At 8:16 he caught the biggest bass of the week. About an hour later he added a 12-ouncer. With just three keepers over the course of this two half day bracket session he leads the field with 7-9, though he only has to beat one other angler, Chad Pipkens, to advance to the final round on Friday. Pipkens has four fish for 3-12. Lane told us he caught the big bass in a topwater. When asked where he caught it, Lane smiled and replied, “In the mouth.”
