The final 12 anglers look for glory on the final day of the Alabama River Charge presented by Star brite.
Edwin Evers just boated his second fish. Looks like it's about 2 pounds. There are five boats following him, and he's asked everyone to turn off their depthfinders. Apparently he's getting some sort of interference from the other boaters' electronics. As I type, he has another fish on. This one looks like a 3-pounder. As expected, the Oklahoma pro is onto the early morning bite. Three fish in the well for about 7 pounds, is my guess.
Edwin Evers just put his first fish in the boat. He made about a half-mile run down the Bouldin Canal and boated what looks to be a fish that weighs about 1 1/2 pounds.

Edwin Evers just arrived in the Bouldin Dam Canal and three spectator boats followed him in. Edwin wastes little time hitting the bank, hopping onto the front of his boat and throwing a deep diving crankbait. Looks like it's chartreuse with a blue back. If today is anything like the past three days, it shouldn't be long before he starts boating a few of these early morning bass.
Day Four on the beautiful Alabama River system begins for us with another launch at Gold Star Park in Wetumpka, a nice town just outside of Montgomery.
