ROGERS, Ark. — Check out some of the MLFNOW! livestream highlights from the Championship Round of Yuengling Light Lager Stage 5 Presented by YETI.
In what came down to one of the slimmest margins in Bass Pro Tour history, Wesley Strader and Cole Floyd exchanged positions atop SCORETRACKER® during a thrilling final 30 minutes that included Strader making one of the biggest moves of the week with a 5-pound, 8-ounce largemouth followed by a 1-12 to take the lead.
Floyd responded with a clutch 1-11 about 12 minutes later to reclaim the No. 1 position that he’d previously held throughout much of the day to ultimately claim his first major win with 56 pounds even on 24 scorable bass. Strader was just one scorable bass behind and a mere 14 ounces shy of the win with 55-2 on 23 scorable bass.
Bass Pro Tour action resumes May 16-21 with Kubota Heavy Hitters Presented by Bass Pro Shops on Orange Lake in Ocala, Florida.
