BRANSON, Mo. — Tommy Martin is spinning some of that old magic that has made him a 19-time Bassmaster Classic qualifier.
The Hemphill, Texas, pro will turn 71 next month, but he has showed no signs of slowing down during the first two days of the Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Central Open at Table Rock Lake. Instead, Martin is full of vim and vigor as he leads the event with 22 pounds, 5 ounces and is the only angler in the entire field to catch a limit each day. The first day he weighed in a 10-6 limit to move into 10th place and followed up with an 11-15 bag today to take the lead.
