Talley rallies while killing time

Frank Talley has had to deal with some adversity today. And he’s done it in championship fashion. After suffering mechanical difficulties that left him dead in the water, waiting for a backup boat, Talley caught two 3-pounders.

When he finally got that backup boat and was able to go to the spot he was planning to move before adversity hit, Talley landed a 4-pounder. He’s got 14 pounds on the day and is second in the BASSTrakk standings.

Talley finished 69th in Angler of the Year points after his rookie season on the Elite Series. He explained on “Bassmaster LIVE” how he’s turned it around – by going back to being Frank Talley, instead of changing his style to fit “the Holy Grail” of bass fishing, like he did as a rookie.

“I chased my tail all last year, trying to make something happen I wasn’t comfortable with,” Talley said.
