Keith Poche was the Day 1 leader with an impressive 17-13 bag, but different story on Day 2 as those big bass just weren't biting as freely.
Keith Combs didn't change his game plan too much from Day 1, and his confidence paid off as he moved up to 11th place at the Bassmaster Classic.
Brent Chapman started off with a bang in Day 2 of the Classic, but then he hit a four-hour stretch with no fish. Find out how he got back on track to get himself to the top 15.
Todd Faircloth nearly doubled his weight in Day 2 with an 18-12 bag thanks to better wind conditions and some big-time fish.
Edwin Evers is well in contention, but he could be in even better position if not for some lost fish.

Chris Lane really battled the shallow, muddy waters on the Red River, but the hard work paid off as he sits in sixth place with a 16- 4 bag after Day 1.
Federation Nation angler Jamie Horton sits in ninth place after Day 1 and unlike a lot of other anglers, he found a sweet spot all to himself.
Grigsby's fishing spots may depend on how many anglers are fishing the area but not on the windy conditions. Most of Grigsby's spots are fairly sheltered but he isn't concerned because his boat is decked out with Power Poles to keep him in one spot.
Despite a cold start to day one of The Classic Roumbanis thinks that angers will be bringing in big bags because the pre-spawn bass have been active in the warmer weather of the last few days.
If Hite has any tricks up the extra sleeves he is wearing he isn't sharing. Hite plans to adapt his fishing techniques as the weather changes and try and avoid the crowds.
KVD may have won four Classics, but the last time he fished the Red River - famous for being unpredictable - he had some major problems landing fish. He hopes keeping a close eye on the weather and getting to his fishing spots quickly will win him his record fifth Classic title.
What is Mike Iaconelli's plan for this year's Classic? "Fish hard to the very last minute" and hopefully this time around on the Red he will take home top prize instead of runner up.

Red River Shreveport-Bossier City Louisiana, United States |
The world's premiere fishing event will return to "Sportsman's Paradise" in 2012, BASS announced today. The 42nd Bassmaster Classic will be held Feb. 24-26, 2012, on the Red River out of Shreveport-Bossier City, La., as the Shreveport Regional Sports Authority welcomes the prestigious event for the second time in four years - the fifth Classic to be held in Louisiana.
Launches on the Red River through the three days of competition in 2012 will be from Red River South Marina in Bossier City, La. The Shreveport Regional Sports Authority will roll out the red carpet for Classic weigh-ins at the CenturyTel Center in Bossier City. The 2012 Bassmaster Classic Outdoors Expo will be at the Shreveport Convention Center.
B.A.S.S. has held nine previous events on the Red, including the 2009 Classic won by Skeet Reese of Auburn, Calif., with 54 pounds, 13 ounces. The 2012 Classic will be new and different in several significant ways. First, it will feature winners from the 2011 Elite Series and Opens, not just the anglers with the highest points totals on those circuits. For another, the first Mercury College B.A.S.S. Champion, Andrew Upshaw of Stephen F. Austin State University, will be competing against the pros and B.A.S.S. Federation Nation champions in the Classic. Finally, because 2009 champ Skeet Reese didn't qualify for the 2012 championship, we're guaranteed to have a different winner.
