Bryan Schmitt caught some nice largemouths on day 3 of the Lake Champlain Bassmaster Elite Series, but thinks he ll need the cooperation of smallmouths on the final day.
By B.A.S.S. Communications Staff To hear Bryan Schmitt talk there isnt a single bass left in Lake Champlain. Theyre all gone. Just vanished.
But dont buy any of it for a second.
The perennially pessimistic Maryland pro caught another big limit Saturday this time five bass that weighed 19-04 to increase his three-day total to 62-04 and maintain his lead at the Bassmaster Elite Series event out of Plattsburgh, N.Y.

Ryan Finnerty We can always improve says Plattsburgh Assemblyman on policing
Leaders around New York have been reacting to the guilty verdict in the murder trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin.
Here in the North Country, State Assemblyman Billy Jones recently took a tour of Plattsburgh city government to meet employees, including police officers.
He spoke with Ryan Finnerty outside the Plattsburgh police station about what he’s heard from constituents and law enforcement officers in his district.
Their conversation has been lightly edited for clarity.
Jones: We can always improve. And the fine men and women that work in these departments, for the most part I think they know that and always are looking to improve, looking to engage with the community.
