We had a gorgeous sunrise here at Lake Chatuge and I had time to think about how Justin Lucas would approach today. He has the Toyota Angler of the Year crown in his hip pocket. Now that Josh Bertrand has headed home for the birth of his second child there is zero chance anyone can catch him for the title.
So will Lucas lay down his rod, order a pizza and bask in the glow of his nearly flawless season? Nope. He’s fishing today just like he did the first two days of competition on Lake Chatuge. Lucas is fishing fast and aggressively, moving often (we’ve hit seven spots in the first 40 minutes of fishing), and generally approaching today like he wants to win this three day tournament. Lucas sits in 5th place. Is that greedy? Heck no. The great ones want it all.
