Here’s a dispatch from photographer James Overstreet. He’s in hot pursuit all morning of Tommy Biffle, who just zig-zagged through a creek channel so shallow it redefined the pucker factor.
The same path taken yesterday by Overstreet through this maze came at idle speed. That’s because he careened and rolled over logs and stumps the entire route. Following Biffle today changed the speed. He ran full throttle through the same areas. Miffed, Overstreet lightheartedly mentioned the daring feat to Biffle. He came back with, well, a classic Biffle response.
“If you don’t see it then it ain’t there,” he replied.
Biffle has 2 keepers in the boat, so it’s no surprise he’s picking up the tempo of his tactics and presentation. He’s fishing farther out than most of the field, preferring to target staging fish.
