This give him enough weight to make the day three cut and be in 8th place overall. But Brad was just getting warmed up with his Cumberland Pro Jig and Shakyhead. On day 3 Brad was paired up with Michael Iaconelli and by 11:30 had him wondering what to do as Brad already had a 5 fish limit. After breaking a rod out of aggravation and a few choice words Iaconelli started asking questions. After Brad shared his Cumberland Pro Shakyhead paired up with a 5" Senko Iaconelli begin catching fish also. Iaconelli ended up with 4 fish that weighed in at 4.12 lbs. on day 3. Then on day 4 Iaconelli had a 5 fish limit that weighed in at 4.10 lbs that earned him 2nd place and $100,000 on the pro side. Wonder what he fished with, could it have been a Cumberland Pro Shakyhead?? Brad ended up catching a total of 7 keepers, his best 5 weighed in at 6.04 lbs. landing him first place on the co angler side along with $25,000 plus another $25,000 for Ranger Cup (it pays to own a Ranger boat)!!! Congratulations to Brad for a job well done!!!
