Several of you have met Greg Hackney, one of the top BASS and FLW pros. Today, at the FLW Outdoors East West fishoff, he broke the FLW, one day, five fish record with 39 lbs 11 ozs at Falcon Lake in Texas. Pic is from last Feb when he and I whacked 'em deep off the N Edisto.

Hack attacks Falcon
FLW records fall again at Falcon Lake; East leads West 18 to 12

ZAPATA, Texas – Yesterday it was the Fritts Blitz; today it was the Hack Attack. If it sounds like there is an all out war going on at the Walmart FLW Series East-West Fish-Off, there is.
Fish-Off pros continued to dismantle the foundations of FLW record books with explosive limits of Falcon bass on day two.
David Fritts’ all time one-day heaviest limit record of 37-2 set yesterday lasted only 24 hours as Louisiana’s Greg Hackney set the bar even higher today with five bass weighing an astounding 39 pounds, 11 ounces.
The two biggest bass in Hackney’s hog trough consisted of a 9-11 and an 11-3 brute. He now holds the record all time FLW Outdoors record for a heaviest single day five-bass limit.
After Hackney’s pig show, Koby Kreiger of Florida also stepped over Fritts’ day-one record and weighed in five bass for 37-4 to take the second heaviest five-bass limit position in the record books.
And all this happened despite a drastic 30-degree drop in temperature. Yesterday, Zapata’s air temperature was 83; today, anglers endured a wet, drizzly 50-degree high.
Although Fritts and Hackney are not matched against each other in the head-to-head match-ups, they are now the two top contenders for the $25,000 top prize.
Hackney has slim lead in the overall tournament with a two-day total of 71 pounds, 11 ounces to Fritts’ 70 pounds, 9 ounces. Behind them is Terry Bolton with 66 pounds, 9 ounces.
