Writer Don Barone is roommates (along with Paul Elias) with Shaw Grigsby on this year's Elite tour. Shaw is leading the tournament after Day 1 on Lake Seminole, with 30 pounds 5 ounces. Here's what Shaw told Barone when they got back to the house.
"db it was a blessed day…in my 30 plus years of fishing tournaments it's only the 4th time I've caught over 30 pounds…don't ever believe that your best days are behind you….don't ever believe that."
