Wow, Skeet has only 3 fish on day one while others are culling. So much for defending that title. KVD is going to be tough to catch with that sort of lead (only 6 anglers within 5 lbs already).

What the heck??? Did he get sick out on the water or what? I really like Denny and am not too pleased to see he was skunked.

With the water temp these guys are fishing, to catch fish they must fish slow. Time managment will be a vital key.

I would have thought the same but I have seen lots of fast moving baits thus far...

Interesting. I can't seem to find a leader board anywhere. I thought the weigh in was at 5:30?

Skeet got skunked and defended his title by coming in 43rd... he can't be too happy. Sunday should be awesome with KVD second and Ike 4th. Nothing against the other leaders, but I would love to see those guys have a shootout and go 1-2.

KVD will win #3.

Against my better judgment, I say Kriet wins it.

(my better judgment = KVD 2 oz. back)

KVD is hard to bet against!

But, Kriet had a stellar performance today as to where KVD struggled a little!

Maybe Kriet caught on to something today... Maybe! Lol

The squirrel will finally get the nuts! I hope Kriet wins. But then KVD will reign hell down upon everyone else the rest of the year.

I hope Kriet wins. But then KVD will reign hell down upon everyone else the rest of the year.

He's going to do that whether he wins the Classic or not. 

I'm just happy to see James Niggemeyer doing so well.  He's very deserving of a top finish in the classic.

Against my better judgment, I say Kriet wins it.

(my better judgment = KVD 2 oz. back)

...fulfilling my BR Contest pick for Classic Winner!  I'm hoping so!
