Great Lakes Bass Fishing Forum

Bryan Thrift has finished in the top eight in the Walmart FLW Tour Angler of the Year standings in eight of the 10 years he has fished as a pro, and the Shelby, N.C., angler notched a Tour win on Lake Norman in 2010. As favorites go, Thrift is a strong one heading into this week's Walmart FLW Tour Invitational presented by Lowrance at Norman. That in mind, we hopped in the boat with the man who's fast becoming a legend in his own time for a half day of scouting on the second day of practice for this week's Invitational showdown.
