BassFan Senior Editor Cody Pike wasn t overly thrilled with any of his first four outings as an MLF Pro Circuit competitor. The fifth one was pretty decent, and then the regular-season finale was spectacular.
The 28-year-old rookie from Virginia triumphed in last week s derby at the St. Lawrence River with a four-day total of 82-12. Starting the final day with a 6 3/4-pound deficit, he caught a 22-03 sack that was enough to give him the win when previous leader Joey Cifuentes managed just 12-05.

Cox The Early Leader With 24-05 Haul
Thursday, July 29, 2021
By MLF Communications Staff John Cox of DeBary, Fla., weighed a five-bass limit of St. Lawrence River smallmouth totaling 24-12 to take the early lead after day 1 of the St. Lawrence River MLF Pro Circuit in Massena, N.Y. Cox holds a 7-ounce lead over Joey Cifuentes of Clinton, Ark., who caught five bass weighing 24-05.
I am in absolute shock to be leading this thing, Cox laughed after weighing in. Im not kidding this was probably the worst practice that I have ever had before. Coming into today I was thinking, If I can somehow catch 18 or 20 (pounds) and maybe catch a couple tomorrow I could get out of here with a check. And I would have taken that. I was shooting for 50th place. So to weigh what I did today is just unreal.
