Jacob Wheeler of Indianapolis, Ind. retained his lead on Friday at the Forrest Wood Cup on Lake Lanier, weighing a five-bass limit for 11 pounds, 12 ounces for the day, less than the massive haul of 21 pounds, 15 ounces from Thursday, but enough to keep him in the lead in the four-day event. Wheeler now has a total of 33 pounds, 11 ounces, giving him a lead of three pounds, three ounces ahead of Jay Yelas of Corvallis, Ore. Wheeler, Yelas and the rest of the anglers are competing for a $500,000 grand prize to be awarded after the four-day competition finishes on Sunday at the Gwinnett Convention Center.
