As we pass the midway point here on Championship Sunday, it’s no surprise to see Chris Johnston slip into the lead on BassTrakk.
Johnston has had a strong morning, with a 3-4, 3-12 and 4-0 to show for his efforts. Keeping in mind Johnston has a tendency to underestimate his bass a bit and that two of his five fish weigh less than 3-pounds, Johnston is in good position to really make a run at this thing with a couple big culls.
Day 3 leader Austin Felix lags a little behind, currently in second with 11-8 compared to Johnston’s 16-6 on the day. The biggest thing working in Felix’s favor though, the near 4-pound lead he had on Johnston going into the day.
That’s a big lead, but certainly not insurmountable, as Johnston has already proven this morning. Still, a 3-pounder means ounces for Johnston’s bottom line right now, and pounds for Felix’s with a tiny 1-4 in his bag.
A lot still up in the air here on Oahe. Going to be a close one til the end it seems.
