THese guys were on fire w/ catching more than a dozen bass releasing 5 upto 38".
And then there is this guy, the unemployed brain surgeon, who didn't fuel up in the morning, but thought he could make it. Murphy say NOT. After running on fumes and stopping on the way in for fuel, he missed the weigh-in by 3 minutes. His fish would have taken over 3rd place.
