After spending his time craning his neck looking for a Livescopable fish to catch, Stetson Blaylock moved back shallow and found the fish he needed in 4 feet of water. This is a masterful performance — he hasn’t found the winning school of fish, but each stop is purposeful and calculated, and they almost all pay off.
The fish wasn’t huge, but in an event that is likely to come down to ounces, it should be meaningful.
Again, he’s so incredibly confident, so patient, and so committed to his plan that someone is going to have to beat him.
Two five-pounders on the last day of a Classic means that you are living right, but there’s more to it than that. He’s executing at the highest level, making Lake Hartwell his playground.
