CUTTING
THROUGH
THE MIST
For the second season in
a row, anglers competing in
the Costa FLW Series
Championship had to wait
out an extended fog delay. In
2016, it happened on day
two at Table Rock Lake. The
fog rolled in on top-10 day at
the 2017 event on Kentucky
Lake, delaying takeoff by two
hours and severely cutting
into the fishing time of sever-
al pros whose days were
already shortened by long
runs far upstream on the
Tennessee River.
Fog is a common issue in
autumn tournaments, but
safety comes first, causing
delays that sometimes frus-
trate competitors. Of course,
the one upside is the oppor-
tunity for interesting photos
once the tournament direc-
tors finally send ’em. In this
shot, Andy Hagedon cap-
tured Tennessee angler
Jason Abram jetting to his
first spot just after the fog
had lifted.
