Lefebre eliminated in MLF Bass Pro Tour event
Erie pro bass angler Dave Lefebre fared slightly better Tuesday but was eliminated during the second round of the Major League Fishing Bass Pro Tour's Heavy Hitters tournament on the Kissimmee Chain of lakes in central Florida.
After catching just one bass weighing 3 pounds, 5 ounces in Sunday's first round, Lefebre caught three fish weighing 9 pounds, 8 ounces on Tuesday, including a big bass of 5-6. He finished 35th among 40 anglers in Group A with a collective weight of 12-13.
The MLF is resuming its season after more than a two-month break because of the coronavirus pandemic.
After several tournaments were postponed, the season has been truncated and will conclude with an event on Lake Champlain in Burlington, Vermont, beginning July 10.
Lefebre will need a huge performance in that tournament to earn one of the 30 spots in the MLF's Redcrest championship in February.
