Keith Combs is trying to decide what to do next. He’s wanting to lock down into Pool 9, and believes he can be down there and fishing by 11:30, then back to the locks to lock up into Pool 8 by 1.
The only problem, a couple hundred yards of barge currently occupies the lock.
Combs has to win today to qualify for the Bassmaster Classic. To do so, he’s going to have to make a gamble. The next hour will decide his season.
“I can fish for an hour. I think that’s my best strategy. If I can catch two 4-pound fish, that’s my goal weight, 17-pounds. Two 4-pound fish and we’ll be there.”
