Scanlon of Lenexa, Kan., took over at the Ramada Quest on Sunday, the third of four competition days of the Bassmaster Elite Series event on Bull Shoals Lake.
A consistent Scanlon weighed 13-12 Sunday — not as good, but still in the ball park of his 14-13 of Day One and 15-5 of Day Two. He tallied 43 pounds, 14 ounces to become the new leader.
The surprise of the day wasn’t that Scanlon jumped into the hot seat — he was, after all, in second place after two days. The upset was that Greg Vinson of Wetumpka, Ala., the leader of both Day One and Day Two, fell to 23rd place after his fishing spot shut down. Vinson was knocked out of the game; only the Top 12 will advance to Monday’s championship round.
Scanlon’s threat became Terry Scroggins of San Mateo, Fla., 12 ounces behind the new leader. Scroggins — as consistent over the past three days as was Scanlon — put together 43-2 over three days to move from fourth place into the runner-up spot.
