Wheeler finished the Knockout Round in 2nd place and punched his ticket sraight to Wednesdays Championship Round.
50 Gs, heck yeah, that is unreal, Wheeler said in his post-game interview. That will be a fish that I remember for the rest of my life. I was cruising down the bank and when I saw that fish, I literally stopped and was like Whoa, thats a $50,000 bass.
