I didn’t know until late Saturday evening who I would be riding along with on Sunday, but I got the message it would be Jacob Wheeler. This was his 1st Classic appearance but he’s no stranger to the big shows, having won the 2012 FLW Cup, setting a record as the youngest angler to win that championship. The weather actually started off above freezing…which meant we didn’t have to wear near the clothes we did earlier in the week. We started off chasing loons…who were chasing the herring…that should have been chased by schools of largemouths and spots. We were both surprised by how noisy the loons were being, and Jacob suspected that they were scaring the bass. We ran shallow, deep, docks, brushpiles and treetops. He even ran and fished a line of docks in front of the house where his family was staying on the lake. They all came out to wave and give him some encouragement. Jacob fished hard, grinding out the last few hours on a deep water bite that just never happened. So, another day and another great guy, and just as I backed Andy Montgomery down to the water on Practice Day to start my Classic week, I ended it by pulling Jacob’s Academy Sports Ranger out of the water…
