David Mullins’ Angler of the Year opportunity seemed to have evaporated going into the final hour at Lake Fork. But a Lake Fork lunker has given him hope. Mullins landed a 7-6 at 2:24, which has him on the verge of making today’s top 40 cut. He desperately needs another fish to move him up from his current 43rd-place ranking.
“I don’t see why we can’t,” Mullins said at 2:30. “We’ve got enough time, and we’ve got enough timber. At least I’m becoming relevant now.”
