As Shaye Baker and Chris Mitchell noted earlier, Kevin VanDam has already posted one of his typical Kentucky Lake days on the water. In other words, KVD smashed ’em in the first hour. He’s got over 20 pounds. How much over is the question.
“Everything from here on is practice today,” VanDam said as he boated past photographer Garrick Dixon about 8 a.m.
Based on unofficial BASSTrakk totals at 8:30, Brandon Lester has 20 pounds, 7 ounces, and several other guys are close to the 20-pound mark, including Brett Hite, Marty Robinson, JT Kenney and Brent Chapman.
