This one is always fun! Breaking out the boat scales for some catch weigh release. I have a bold prediction: someone will hit a stump 

This is a bucket list lake for me, so Im pretty pumped for this event.

Zaldain got a 5-5 and said that’s a little one….

Made the trek down to Fork back in the mid 1990's, with some buddies who worked for Cabela's here in Nebraska. Great fun!

 

And yes, hit a stump on the first day...buddy about lost his mind. We managed to stay "stump-free" for the remainder of the trip. Good times!

An 8, 2 5s, and 2 6s already in.  Gonna be a fun tournament lol

 

Edit - 1 minute later: Make that 4 6s🤣

Good gracious zaldain wasn’t kidding 

 

the spinning reel haters should enjoy this one

Yeah he’s boat flipping everything under 7 pounds.

He said he caught a limit of 8s yesterday

Put it on and right off the bat they had a split screen of Kyoya and John Cox, talk about yin and yang

Trey with 28 already.  That kid flat out knows how to fish

There is nothing more the sport needs than a Jon Cox win.   If you love Bass fishing, Jon Cox should be number one in your heart imho.   

 

ETA:  They seem to be bed fishing in 55d waters.  

 

ETA2:  Lol at Fujita out there in the great wide open 

I would like to point out that Trey McKinney is the only angler in the tournament whose weight is higher than his age.  28 lbs - 19 years old.  There should be a belt for that. 😃

Gore: 3 fish for 26 pounds 🤣🤣🤣

Milliken with a 7-14 and a 7-0 within 5 mins of each other.  Need every tourney to be at Fork.  This is fun

BASS can't help but shoot themselves in the foot.....how in the world do you not put a camera in the boat with the most popular angler on your tour.

what I've been thinking all morning

"I'm gonna pee real quick" - Jon Cox  🤣

I think they have some sort of agreement with the anglers that all will get at least some time on live during the season - and Day 1 is really the only day where they can pick anyone....So they probably try to keep day 1 a mix of favorites and some sort of round robin situation with other anglers to get everyone airtime throughout the season.  

 

Milliken was on live a good bit at the first tournament already and they were probably banking on him earning a live camera at some point before the Fork event is over.

I think both feet are in good shape 

Contrary to what BASS's cams are showing, this lake is putting on an absolute show this morning.     

 

34lb bag, two DDs, many other mega bags, sadly none on camera.  

There are only ten cameras 

4hrs left with a lot of big names having a tough go. Ike, Clunn, Joey C, Canterbury, Martin,Swindel, Feider outside top 50 

Top 10 on Bass Trakk is getting stupid......all mega bags, all on pace for a century belt

 

My guess is those folks aren't fishing shallow like all the ones on camera.  

Taku with the dirty 30!!
