FLW PRESS RELEASE
Amazingly, the good weather streak at the Walmart FLW Tour event
presented by Evinrude and hosted by the Anderson Convention & Visitors
Bureau on Lake Hartwell defied all odds today by proving weather forecasters
wrong. What was supposed to be a 70 percent chance of rain with cooling
temperatures today actually turned out to be a decent fishing day. Now,
granted, the weather was not as nice as it has been the last two days, but it
was certainly good enough to sight-fish and that’s all the leaders really cared
about.

For the third day in a row, there was a lead change. This time
Clark Wendlandt of Leander, Texas, has grabbed the pole position. Wendlandt,
who is no stranger to winning FLW Tour events with his eyes, sacked up 19
pounds, 9 ounces on day three and now holds a 1 pound, 5 ounce lead going into
the final day with 52 pounds, 9 ounces total.
Wendlandt is a brilliant strategist when it comes to the sight
fishing game. He has a knack for staying with waves of bass that move shallow
throughout a whole lake. He has done it several times for sight fishing wins on
Beaver Lake and Lake Murray and he is at it again on Hartwell.
