LA CROSSE, Wis. – Oklahoma pro Zack Birge may have had 15 minutes less of fishing time, but that didn’t slow him down a lick. Birge began the day with a 15-minute penalty after requiring help getting his boat unstuck during Thursday’s Elimination Round, but caught six bass within his first 15 minutes of the Knockout Round. Birge wrapped up the round in second place with 59 pounds, 5 ounces and will be moving on to REDCREST Presented by Venmo’s Championship Sunday.
