McMillan admits he was just вЂњscrounging roundвЂќ to catch the fish that put him in the lead Friday. Other Floridians in the Top 5 among co-anglers include Steve Jarrett (18-2), Robbie Anderson (17-13), Terry Law (17-10) and Daniel Lanier (17-9). In the co-angler division, Floridian Alan Agnoli stunned the crowd with three bass weighing 17-11 to take the lead with 24-15. Only 4 pounds, 5 ounces separate the Top 5 who will join seven other anglers in SaturdayвЂ™s final. Meanwhile, Todd Auten of South Carolina jumped from 13th to second (36-8), Bobby Lane of Florida moved from 18th to third (34-13) and Gerald Swindle of Alabama climbed from 17th to fifth (34-3).

вЂњMan, hard to believe that I could stay in the Top 5 with a day like that on a lake like this,вЂќ Slegona marveled. To illustrate how goofy fishing was Friday, New YorkвЂ™s Andrew Slegona вЂ“ who caught 31 pounds to lead the event after the first day, only had two small bass Friday but fell no further than fourth (34-9). That was just fine for Brandon McMillan of Clewiston, Fla., whose 13-pound, 15-ounce limit gave him a two-day total of 38-8, good enough to move him from third to first.

On a day when the sun shined and the fish were supposed to bite, big bags were few and far between.
