GILBERTSVILLE, Kentucky - After barely missing out on his 13th BASS win at Alabama's Wheeler Lake last weekend, three-time Toyota Tundra Bassmaster Angler of the Year Kevin VanDam is back in the saddle again, leading the Bluegrass Brawl presented by DieHard Platinum Marine Batteries® with a Thursday catch of 24 pounds, 13 ounces.
VanDam's nearest competitor was Mike McClelland of Bella Vista, Ark., who weighed 23 pounds, 6 ounces. Perhaps the best angler in the history of bass fishing, VanDam continued his assault on the Tennessee River chain. He finished second at Wheeler last week, finishing behind first-time BASS winner Jeremy Starks of Charleston, W.Va., by just 8 ounces, and again used a similar pattern to propel himself into the early lead of the four-day tournament.

| The Top 5 patterns from the recent Wheeler Bassmaster Elite Series were fairly similar. In fact, winner Jeremy Starks, 2nd-place Kevin VanDam and 4th-place John Murray fished close enough to see each other. But there were several key differences worth pointing out. What follows is a look at how VanDam, Terry Scroggins and caught their fish. Pattern details 5th-place finisher Matt Sphar will be posted at a later time.
