BUFFALO - Despite describing smallmouth bass fishing as one of his weaknesses, Edwin Evers of Talala, Okla., did his best to dispel the notion, boating 21 pounds, 4 ounces, of Lake Erie smallmouth Saturday to build his two-day total to 41 pounds, 13 ounces, at the Empire Chase bass fishing tournament.
Evers wrestled the lead from Day 1 leader Paul Hirosky of Guys Mills, Pa., and now holds a slim lead of 3 ounces over Kentucky's Kevin Wirth. Hirosky is 4 ounces behind in third.
The tournament, originally scheduled for four days, was shortened to three after Friday's cancellation due to unsafe conditions.
Evers, 32, has scored three BASS victories but has yet to win a Bassmaster Elite Series event. With a win, he would bring his career BASS earnings to more than $1 million, joining 18 other BASS anglers in the club.
"This would be a huge win," Evers said. "I don't consider fishing for smallmouth one of my strengths and yet I have had a great week. This would be a huge blessing if I could hold on."
Though Evers declined to discuss specifics of his pattern, he said he was fishing offshore, concentrating on shoals that have subtle differences.
"This is a phenomenal fishery," Evers said. "I can't wait to get back next year."
With the tournament shortened to three days, weights among the top 12 qualifiers, who advance to Sunday's final day of competition, are close. Terry Butcher, Evers' brother-in-law, is less than 4 pounds behind the lead in 12th place, still within striking distance.
Leading the pack of followers was Wirth. The ex-Kentucky Derby jockey said he would stick with the same strategy he utilized the prior two days. Concentrating on 38 to 40 feet of water, the 45-year-old, whose birthday was Friday, caught six keepers with a drop-shot rig.
Despite catching his second consecutive 20-pound limit, Wirth was concerned that fish were leaving his spots. Still, he plans to rotate Sunday between the same 4 to 6 locations he visited Saturday.
"I felt I got lucky to entice quality bites," said Wirth, a one-time BASS winner. "But I don't have much else that I can go to and I feel like I could eke out a win with the same strategy."
Hirosky slipped to third but remains just ounces behind. He had boat trouble early in the morning and lost a significant portion of his fishing day. But he was able to compensate by making a longer run on Erie and enticing some quality bites later in the day.
"I'm on the fish to win," said Hirosky, who won a Bassmaster Open, a qualifying tour event for the Elite Series, in 2005 on Erie. "If I get the right bites, I have just as good a chance as anybody else."
In fourth was John Murray of Phoenix, with 40 pounds, 13 ounces. Tied for fifth were Greg Hackney of Gonzales, La., and Jami Fralick of Martin, S.D., with 40 pounds, 0 ounces.
Just outside the top-12 cut was Skeet Reese of Auburn, Calif. Heading into the tournament, Reese led Kevin VanDam of Kalamazoo, Mich., by just 12 points in the season-long Bassmaster Angler of the Year standings.
The two will remain tight as Reese posted a 13th-place finish in the Empire Chase and VanDam was close behind in 16th. The standings will be tabulated after the final day of action Sunday.
The final two events of 2007, which affect the Angler of the Year race, will be held at the Potomac River in August and Lake Tohopekaliga in September. Both anglers have fared well at the final locations.
In the co-angler competition, which ended Saturday, Robert Suhr of Roscommon, Mich., won a Triton/Mercury boat package valued at $50,000 with a two-day total of 38 pounds, 3 ounces. Trailing Suhr were home-state favorite David Ottman of Oswego, N.Y., with 37 pounds, 3 ounces and Tony Sprague of Lincoln, Neb., with 36 pounds, 11 ounces.
