Ish Monroe and Mike Iaconelli have significant but unsafe leads at the halfway point of the afternoon session. Monroe just made a nice cull, trading a 15-ounce bass for a 2-pound, 9-ounce fish, to give him a total of 9-12. His competitor, Jonathon VanDam has three bass totaling 3-8, giving Ish a 6-4 lead.
Iaconelli has a similar margin of 5-15 over Adrian Avena in the other matchup. But that’s mainly because Avena has yet to record a keeper. Iaconelli has three fish in his 5-15 total.
