Is this a two-man race?

Only three anglers have caught five-bass limits all three days in the Guaranteed Rate Elite at Chickamauga Lake. And two of them are at the top of the leaderboard, separated by 1 pound, 15 ounces. Lee Livesay weighed 16-13 Sunday to take the lead with a total of 43-0. Day 2 leader Stetson Blaylock had 13-0 for a three-day total of 41-1.

It appears to be a two-man race for this title Monday. However, this is Chickamauga, known for its big bass, and Mike Huff gave another indication of what’s possible here, even in this tough fall transition period. The second-year pro from Corbin, Ken., caught the second biggest bag of the tournament, 19-1, to jump from 33rd place to 3rd with 38-0, five pounds behind Livesay. Jake Whitaker is the only other angler to catch a limit each day. He’s 5-13 back with 37-3.
