We pulled up to a large crowd just outside of downtown Guntersville and found Randy Howell fishing a bank of rip rap next to the highway. The moment we arrived Howell hooked up with a nice four pounder. The crowd went wild!
An hour after takeoff Randy Howell is off to a very fast start. He has a limit that BASSTrakk is showing as 23 pounds 4 ounces. And he moved unofficially into the lead.
