Wesley Strader of Spring City heads into the final day of the Berkley Bassmaster Elite Series tournament on Kentucky Lake in the lead, though his advantage is less than a pound. Sunday, his daily limit of five fish weighed in at 22 pounds, 6 ounces, running his three-day total to 59-9 and moving him closer to his first Elite title after years on the FLW Tour. Skeet Reese of Auburn, Calif., was second at 58-12 after a Sunday haul of just four fish at 13-7. Harrison’s Jacob Wheeler won $10,000 for his 25th-place finish with a three-day weight of 47-7. Only the top 12 anglers compete in the final round.
