Hartman has just finished his limit with a 2-pound class fish. That should give him close to 15 pounds.
I believe his BassTrakk weight has been showing him a bit light. Regardless, the limit fish is in the boat and big weight has been lifted from Hartman’s shoulders.
The last hour or so it appeared as if his fishing had sped up some and possibly he was moving through areas too quickly. But that’s just pundit talk. If he truly was moving too fast, then this last fish will have helped him tremendously.
Still a lot of time left. And there’s nothing like fishing with confidence when you have a limit in the boat.
