With Tommy Biffle, as he predicted, off to a hot start, this is shaping up to be a tortoise vs. hare race. Aaron Martens hasn't been catching many fish — 15 or 20 a day. And it has been a grind for him. One here, one there.
I don't imagine Biffle has been often compared to a rabbit, but he's clearly the rabbit today.
Martens has been throwing a bit of everything, from a Spook to a drop shot, and still doesn't have a keeper.
"I think by 8:30 it'll be over," Biffle smack-talked at takeoff this morning. "(Aaron) might not have his lures tied on by then."
Biffle also said he's gunning for a 20-pound bag, after three days when only Brandon Palaniuk hit the 18-pound mark and 14 pounds was a good day.
It all shapes up for an interesting final, especially with predictions of more rain at some point today.
