First couple of hours, a 9.15 is leading with another 9 and 3- 8's holding down the 5 big money spots overall.

   The first of the even weight bass, 3.00 have been hit for 5 grand, but the 4 and 5 even are still on the table to be won.

  They said, if you don't have a 5.5-6.5 lbs, you will not get one of the 12 checks.   

  AVerage is down, most of the time, if you don't have a 7 lber, you don't go, you wait it out hoping for the weights to drop.

Good luck BR bassers, make some memories.

The two 9's still leading after 5 hrs of weighin's, 4 and 5 lb even fish still hasn't been hit yet, so theres 10 grand still to be won today. If they aren't hit, Sunday's finale, he's draws anglers names out and gives the cash away that wasn't won during the hourlys.

Can you say guaranteed $580,000.oo cash and prizes to amateurs only.

Every other year, he gives boats or cash for the 3 evens every day. This year, its cash.

First hour, normally sees a small fish win some money and 4.91 did hit 12th the first hour.

Since then, 48 other spots have been paid, and 5.43 is the smallest to win a place in an hour,

again, I will say this, I have seen Sam Rayburn spitting out 7 and 8's, if you didn't have a 7 or close to it, you didn't cash a check.

Jack,

   last year during the million dollar splash at Cassell, they were building the new ramps and pavillion.

   Could you get a picture if possible and post the new facilities.   I witnessed them pushing the ramps into the water, a new technique they used to place each ramp in the water.

9.15 will lead the day.   4 even wasn't caught today, so that 5 grand will be given away by drawing on Sunday.

   

10.60 and a 10.27 weighed in the last two hours. the big fish are finally starting to show.
