KISSIMMEE, Fla. – It was another simmering-hot day at the Toyota Heavy Hitters Presented by Venmo on the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes, with a heat index over 105 degrees. Just like Tuesday, one angler ran away to win the round and several anglers made valiant efforts to push themselves into the Top 20.

Some anglers made huge moves on SCORETRACKER®, including Mark Davis and Russ Lane, who dipped below the Top 20 and then climbed into the Top 10 at 4th and 6th place, respectively.

Both Bradley Roy (22nd to 11th) and Britt Myers (23rd to 16th) also made moves into the Top 20 thanks to great performances.

Alton Jones (13th to 26th), Jason Christie (14th to 23rd), Greg Vinson (19th to 30th), and Keith Poche (20th to 24th) all fell out of the Top 20.

Skeet Reese continued his push and will move straight to the Championship Round.

Skeet Skips to Championship Round

Reese’s march toward the Championship Round was never really in doubt as he got off to a strong start today to distance himself from the field. He wrapped up the Group B qualifying rounds with 23 pounds, 9 ounces, bringing his total for two days to 67-1.

“I couldn’t be happier,” Reese said. “It was awesome to catch some early and create a little gap to take off some of the pressure. It allowed me to look around for some other areas later in the day.”
