Cochran strikes quickly to take Pickwick lead
Friday, April 30, 2021
Lonnie Cochran of Section, Ala., spent all day on his spot, but only needed the first two hours to sack up a day-2 limit of 25-03 to take the lead at the Pickwick Lake Bassmaster Central Open.
Adding the tournaments heaviest bag to his day-1 limit of 18-10, Cochran rose from 11th place with a two-day total of 43-13.
After a cloudy, rainy opening round, day 2 brought bright, sunny conditions. However, Cochran credits his productivity improvement to timing specifically, an earlier boat number.
I didnt get on my fish until 1 oclock yesterday and I was able to get there early this morning, Cochran said. Once I got to my spot, I Power-Poled down and I never moved. I had a limit by 7:30; it was pretty fast and furious.
