Brandon Palaniuk is getting a lot of love on the blog this morning. Understandably since he’s in the lead in AOY, he has one of six LIVE cameras with him and he’s catching them.
Thanks to the Bassmaster LIVE feed, we just got to watch Palaniuk battle another 4-8 to the boat, all the while two more smallmouth just as big or bigger were swimming alongside his most recent catch. With three in the box now between 4-8 and 5-0, and two more having just revealed themselves to be in the general vicinity, get ready to see Palaniuk threaten the lead soon with 23- to 24- pounds.
