TULSA, Okla. A consistent Cliff Pace of Petal, Miss., not only kept his first-day lead in the Bassmaster Classic presented by Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa, he pulled away from the pack by 7 pounds in the second day of competition for $500,000 and the biggest trophy of pro bass fishing.
Pace shook off the angler who tied him for the lead Friday, Michael Iaconelli of Pittsgrove, N.J.
With a Saturday catch that weighed 21 pounds, 12 ounces, Pace has racked up 43-4 over two days of competition on Grand Lake O the Cherokees. His second-day weight was 4 ounces more than the 21-8 he brought to the scales Friday.I didnt fish differently today at all, Pace said. For me, its been all about committing to the way I can catch the big ones. I took a big, big risk to do that. I think Im doing something that has potential and will hold through tomorrow, he said, playing it close to the vest.
TULSA, Okla. Mississippis Cliff Pace and New Jerseys Michael Iaconelli shared the spotlight Friday with a tie at 21 pounds, 8 ounces for the lead in the 2013 Bassmaster Classic presented by Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa.
Pace pulled off his 20-plus in the last few hours of competition by adding a 6-pound, 8-ounce bass. That big one and another fish came after a nerve-racking lull of almost two hours on Grand Lake O the Cherokees without a bite.
I dont know if I just wasnt around them, or they werent in the right frame of mind to bite. But then I caught two pretty good fish in the last couple of hours, he said.
If Pace, who is from Petal, Miss., can keep his momentum and win, it would be his first Classic victory. He came close in 2008 on South Carolinas Lake Hartwell when he finished second to Alton Jones; the Texan won that year by more than 5 pounds.
