GAINESVILLE, Ga. – Fishing from the back of the boat is always a lesson in adjustment, as co-anglers must adapt to whatever their pro decides to do. Well, Matt Krekovich displayed his adaptive abilities today, as he overtook the lead on day two of the Forrest Wood Cup on Lake Lanier.
After placing second on day one with 11 pounds, 9 ounces, the Granite City, Ill. competitor sacked up four fish that weighed 7-5 today and moved to the top of the field with a two-day total of 18-14 and 4-pound, 1-ounce lead. Krekovich fished deep on day one, but spent day two on the bank.
