Scott Rook just keeps putting the pressure on. He just added a 4 1/2 pounder to his creel, giving him 21 pounds, 10 ounces and a more than 3-pound lead over Terry "Big Show" Scroggins.
Rook who was in Coneross Creek is moving around the Seneca River, which is a good sign for him. He just caught a solid 4-pounder away from that initial area so the best guess is he's running a pattern and has some things figured out.
Judging by the catch rates, of those on the top of the heap, he's the only one adding to his weight.
Answering a few questions from the bottom of this blog on the conversation:
As far as any word from Ike. He's got a limit and is setting in 7th place with 15-4. Don't think he's broken anything yet.
Still haven't heard a lick from Skeet, but I'm guessing that's a technical issue. If not we're going to re-spike his hair, because he's messing up my fantasy team ranking.
(This just in: Skeet is in 31st with 7 pounds. Come on Hollywood.)
Casey Ashley, the hometown favorite, is in 14th with four fish totalling 11-13. He's still in a position to make a big move. One of those 4- to 5-pounder could put him right in the thick of things.
Kelly Jordon is another angler missing that fifth keeper. He's in 11th with 12-14 and could make a move quick with a solid keeper.
Still surprised by Steve Kennedy? He's in 25th place with 9-7.
The top 10, with the exception of Rook's weight, hasn't changed much.
