Brandon Card – 4th, 72-6.Card, like Greg Hackney who finished one place above him, concentrated on largemouth bass in the shallow lily pads, reeds and duckweed of Goose Bay. And he had a blast, primarily fishing Spro Bronzeye Frogs in various colors. Color didn’t seem to make any difference, as he threw some with white bellies and some with dark bellies –- all on 65-pound Spiderwire braid. Card did catch a few bass while punching mats with a jig, but it was primarily a topwater bite for him, and a memorable one for all four days, but especially the final hour Sunday.

“It was an absolute whack-fest,” Card said Sunday. “I should have made a run at Edwin (Sunday). I should have put 20 pounds in the boat. On my last cast I lost a 4 1/2- to 5-pounder. I had it hooked and it was coming, then it came off. Photo by Seigo Saito[/caption][caption id="attachment_1604" align="alignnone" width="650"]
“That’s kind of the name of the game with frogs, but I usually have a really good hook-up ratio with frogs. I left them biting. If we could have checked in at 4:00, I might have won this thing. I had to leave at 2 o’clock to make check-in time. That last one bit me at 2 o’clock. I made one more cast, and it just swiped at the bait. I knew I’d missed my chance on that one.” Photo by Garrick Dixon[/caption]
