Evers on the board with a 3-pounder

Edwin Evers has uttered the quote of the day so far: “My hands are freezing, my nose is running, but it’s the first day of the Bassmaster Classic and we’ve got the first fish in the livewell, so it’s a great day.”

It was a good one – 3 pounds-plus. If you’re following the BASSTrakk Twitter feed you know that the fish-catches started quickly after the7 a.m. takeoff. Brent Ehrler was first on the board with a 3-pounder at 7:19.
