Cherry off to hot start

Hank Cherry won the last B.A.S.S. tournament he fished, which was, of course, the Bassmaster Classic. He started slow in this one. Cherry was tied for 41st place after Day 1 at Lake Eufaula with 16-15. He made the top 40 cut in 34th place with 16-1 yesterday. Cherry has heated up this morning. He already has a limit weighing 15-8, which includes a 6-pounder.
