Anglers of the day
Brandon Palaniuk
The Rathdrum, Idaho, resident pumped his fists after being told his second day catch weighed 19 pounds, 10 ounces to reach second overall with a total of 36-4. "I got seven bites yesterday and seven today."
Ishama Monroe
Monroe from Hughson, Calif., was on the bubble after round one, but rallied with 14-1 total on five fish to make the cut at No. 24. Monroe never felt at ease. "I felt every emotion possible, highs and lows and everything in between."
Mark Dove
The 57-year-old North Vernon, Ind., resident managed only 7.0 pounds with four fish and missed the cut. "I'm a fierce competitor, but more fierce than me is my wife. She did not speak to me for the first 50 miles back for only getting four (fish)."
Matt Lee
Only the second collegiate entrant ever to the Classic, Lee of Auburn, Ala., never found the right combination of bait and emotions to make the cut. "I don't want to see another one (jerk bait). I just fished outside my means."
Takahiro Omori
The 2004 Classic champion from Emory, Texas, caught only one fish weighing 1-10. "I knew my chances were gone yesterday. There's a lot of media from Japan filming a documentary. This has amazed me."
Big Bass
Cliff Pace of Petal, Miss., broke the first day tie for the top with the second day's big catch of 7-2. It was the second biggest of the tournament, but more importantly put him on top of the leader board with a seven-pound lead.
