Early start for Brett Hite

We are not far from takeoff, and Brett Hite is putting on a show. Hite has caught 3. Here's a look at a good one, number 2. As I type this, he brings a third. A small one, but he tells some fans on the shore that he can cull it later. This is a good spot to sit on the bank and watch Elite anglers fish. Brett Hite, James Elam, Justin Lucas, Morizo Shimizu and Chris Lane are in my immediate vicinity. 

 

Hite won't let me finish this blog post without finding another.

 

I think he's leaving no doubt he's headed to Tulsa…

 

Hite just caught another one. Can you let me finish over here? He's culling because that's a good one. 3 pounds.

 

Darren Jacobson's gallery later will be a furious flurry of Brett Hite catches. He's wrecking this spot that I saw on Thursday to be a dead zone.
