Ike Advances to Final 10 at FLW Chevy Open on the Potomac

Ike moved up to 2nd place, and made his first top 10 cut on the FLW tour, with his 33lb. 9oz. total first 2 day's weight at the FLW Chevy Open on the Potomac River. Understanding tidal water is key, Mike explains, "I have two patterns: one based on high water and one based on low water. It's like a game. If you show up at just the right time, you can get into the rhythm and timing".

Ike trailed after day 2 by only 1oz., but as in the Elite 50, weights are reset for day 3 & 4. No matter where Ike finishes in this field, this will mark his 4th straight top 10 finish between the Bassmaster and FLW tour events.
