Clayton Meyer of San Diego, Calif., the No. 13 seed from the Western Division, easily out-fished his opponent, Mark Rose of Marion, Ark., the No.

18 seed from the Eastern Division, on Friday to lead day two of the Wal-Mart FLW Series® East-West Fish-Off on Lake Amistad.

Meyer's five-bass limit weighing 34 pounds, 5 ounces set a new single-day weight record for the FLW Series, making Rose's respectable catch of five bass weighing 12 pounds, 13 ounces seem paltry by comparison.

"Everything went perfect today," said Meyer, "I didn't lose one fish all day. It was almost like I couldn't do anything wrong.

"The fish were biting all day," he added. "I had a great morning bite, and that's when I caught the majority of my fish. I am going out tomorrow and sticking with the same plan I have all week. I'm not going to count Mark out. He is a great angler that could come back and beat me tomorrow." Meyer leads Rose 46-10 (10 bass) to 38-14 (10 bass) with one day remaining, but Rose, proved on day one that he could land the big ones by sacking a limit weighing 26 pounds, 1 ounce to lead all Eastern Division anglers.

       In another much-anticipated match-up, No. 19 Eastern Division seed Jim Tutt of Longview, Texas, is facing No. 12 Western Division seed Michael Bennett of Roseville, Calif. With two days down, Bennett holds a 15-pound lead over Tutt with 10 bass weighing 41-15 compared to 10 bass weighing 26-15.

"I am ready to go fishing tomorrow and see what I can do," Tutt said. "I have a lot of ground to make up but this lake is a great fishery. I think I might still have a chance. We will find out tomorrow." No. 25 Western Division seed Tim Klinger of Boulder City, Nev., is hoping to eliminate No. 6 Eastern Division seed Clark Wendlandt of Leander, Texas, for a shot at the Forrest Wood Cup. Wendlandt, who finished third at the Cup in 2007, is looking to qualify again with a two-day total of 10 bass weighing 32-02 to Klinger's 10 bass weighing 20-03. Overall Eastern Division pros lead their Western Division counterparts 16-14.

On Friday there were 294 bass weighing 902 pounds, 3 ounces caught by the 60 pros. The catch included 58 five-bass limits.

Saturday's final weigh-in will be held at the marina beginning at 3 p.m.
