Canadian Chris Johnston makes Top 20 cut.
FLW PRESS RELEASE
For the second day in a row, John Cox of Debary, Fla., idled
his way far back into the back end of a remote creek off the Tennessee River to
target unpressured bass. And for the second day in a row, the move paid off.
Cox continues to lead the 2016 Forrest Wood Cup presented by Walmart at Wheeler
Lake.

Cox’s catch of 15 pounds, 10 ounces on day two was nearly a
pound short of his day-one catch, but it tripled his leading margin to 6
pounds, 7 ounces. And while such a margin might sound like a pretty steep hill
to climb for his competitors, the fishing was quite a bit better overall today,
and several pros in the top 20 seem optimistic about their chances of repeating
their heavyweight performances tomorrow.
