After day one, North Carolina pro Dave Wolak sat in the bottom split of a three way tie for third with 19-15. He added 17-7 on day two and moved into fourth. Adding 15-12 in the final round, kept him at fourth with 53-2.

Wolak fished the Ticonderoga largemouths on day one, switched his focus to north end green fish on day two and returned to the upper end on day three. He fished a variety of reaction baits, but ended up doing best with jigs. Wolak had the big fish of day one and that 6-pound, 1-ounce largemouth confirmed his decision to go all green.

“A big part of your plan when you come to Champlain is determining which species you’re going to target,” he said. “The other thing is learning how to navigate in the wind.”
