Standing his ground and still in 1st place overall is Vermont angler, Jason Stoddard of St. Albans, Vt. He weighed in another impressive sack today with 17 lbs 5 oz, making his two day total 35 lbs 7 oz. “Yesterday I weighed in 4 smallmouth and 1 largemouth. Today I switched it up and weighed 4 largemouth and 1 smallmouth!” said Stoddard. He had an impressive largemouth kicker that weighed 5 lbs 9 oz. “I was running a couple different patterns in the inland sea.
