Pat Bone posts another 20-plus to take the lead heading the final competition round of the Bassmaster Southern Open on Douglas Lake.

Bone has a total weight of 43-02.

David Mullins is the only other angler to bust 20 pounds on back-to-back days. He is 2nd with 41-11.

Aaron Martens caught the day’s big bass at 7-7.

If you like star power, Elite Series pros Greg Vinson, 2012 Classic Champ Chris Lane, and Ott Defoe made the cut. Defoe brought 21-8 to sneak in at 12th following an 8-pound, 1-ounce limit yesterday.

FLW Tour standout Glenn Browne is 8th and will fish tomorrow.

Christiana Bradley proved she can mix it up with the boys. The lovely lady from Virginia enjoyed much success on the now-defunct Women’s Bassmaster Tour. In 11th place with 29-11, Bradley has a real chance to become the highest-placing female angler in any co-ed Bassmaster event ever. That record currently belongs to Diana Clark who finished 5th in a tourney a couple of years ago.

Bradley has already gained a measure of respect, something all competitive anglers seek, by virtue of making the cut in what has proven to be a tough tourney. Bradley speaks of respect in an excellent article written by Craig Lamb on Bassmaster.com: http://www.bassmaster.com/news/intimidation-different-kind-bradley
