Regarding catching the big bass, Wynn said, “…with a quick pull of the rod the monster had my bait and the tournament winner was on the end of my line. She fought hard for a few seconds but decided to give me my day in the lime light. With the net in hand and fish on the way up a quick stab of the net and the 8.40 lber was in the boat. I had a small Iaconelli moment but laid down for a second then I had to call and wake my wife “Honey, I think I just maybe won $4000.”
