Ohio's King in Position to Take the Crown at Bassmaster Northern Open on Detroit River (http://www.greatlakesbass.com/tournaments/index.php/2010/08/20/ohios-king-takes-5-pound-lead)
Changing weather threw most anglers a curve Friday, but it was the locals who came on strong with the 180-degree wind shift. Taking full advantage was Chris King of South Amherst, Ohio, who boated 25-14 worth of Detroit River smallmouth at the Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Northern Open to take the lead heading into the final day. King's limit was the heaviest of the tournament and he accumulated it by repeating Thursday's milk run of old, proven fishing spots.
"I went back today and hit the same spots, and one had an especially good stock of fish in it," King said. "I hope the weather holds out Saturday, because I think I can do it again."
