Alton Jones said a fish he lost today would have been enough to put him in the Top 6.

"It might have been a 10-pounder – it was way over 8 pounds. I found it this afternoon on a bed and I caught the male, which was a 2-pounder, then threw my tube back over there. She was in a big mess of logs and my tube got hung up and I broke it off. I picked up my other rod with a tube and broke it off too.

"I threw out a 6-inch Yum Dinger, and the big one was still sitting there, but I decided I needed to re-rig a tube. I laid the rod down on the deck, bent down for almost a minute, then heard a noise – it was my rod taking off across the deck."

The rod was about to go over but he grabbed it at the last minute. The fish still had the bait and he set the hook. She was hooked well on 50-pound braid, he said, but she got the line caught in a small laydown, flopped around for 20 seconds, and was gone by the time he could reach her.

"My heart just sank. I had 5 minutes left before I had to go in. It was game over." Read More
