BCT Takes 2nd in Huntington Waypoint Classic |
 | | After day one with rough sea conditions, Best Chance Too was in 2nd place with a limit catch by 10 o'clock. On day two the wind switched directions and the seas were rougher yet. At 10:00 BCT had 2 barely legal fish, and things were doom and gloom for the team. After making a move farther inside to calmer water,s BCT was able to pull a limit of nice kings in an hour and a half. They were able to close a huge gap on the 1st place boat, but ended up maintaining their 2nd place standing. |
