No real secret here: Remitz if fishing in and around the leaders. He's essentially the mirror image of Rook and Martens – he caught 13 yesterday, but came back strong with 17 today.
"I did the same thing as yesterday, but I think I just slowed down – not in fishing, but with my boat," Remitz said. "I was trying to cover too much water too fast yesterday. Today I kept the trolling motor as low as it goes and I never really went more than 8 or 10 feet between casts. The key is to hit a stump. That's what the fish are using to spawn on right now."
His biggest fish today was a 5 1/2, but he's a distant 11 1/2 pounds behind VanDam.
"We see each other all day long, coming and going," Remitz noted. "I guess we have it figured out. I basically let those guys (VanDam, Rook, Martens) fish where they want, then make my pass through when they leave, or vice versa. The plan is to do the same thing tomorrow."
Is he still in it? "Honestly, no," he said. "VanDam would have to have the worst day of his life, and we all know how he usually does on day 3 of the Classic. I guess my only chance would be to catch 30 pounds. But I don't know. Anything can happen. VanDam's going to come with it, so I'm going to have to be that much better. There are 10-pound bites in there, and I'm a 10-pound bite behind. You just have to keep that in your mind." Read More
