The final day of the Costa FLW Series Southwestern Division event presented by Evinrude and hosted by the City of Gove on Grand Lake dawned cold and a brisk wind got up as soon as the sun did. Jesse Wolfe started the day with a sizeable lead, but to this point, the Wisconsin pro has only boxed one keeper bass, and it is nothing to brag about. In third, Matt Cooper also has just one bass.

At the moment, the challengers for the win seem to be second place pro Toby Hartsell and Chad Warren. Hartsell has been fishing painfully slow all day, but he’s managed to put three fish in the boat that handily total more than 10 pounds. Behind him, starting the day in fourth, Chad Warren reportedly has three in the box as well, but just one is a quality fish.

With $40,000 and possibly a boat on the line, the final hours and the final weigh-in are sure to be dramatic. For that, tune right back here for FLW Live at 3 p.m. CT or head to Wolf Creek Park to see it in person.
