Brandon Palaniuk has started to put some bigger bass in the boat, adding a 3-2 and a 4-0 to his bag in the last hour. Palaniuk already had a 3-8 from earlier this morning and he’s got two smaller fish around 2- pounds available to cull. He’s sitting 7-pounds back of leader Brandon Lester right now, but Palaniuk is fishing with big baits for big bass so he could make that up in a hurry if the fish keep firing for him.
