Davis off to a big start

In a tournament where 3-pounders are a pound better than the average bass brought to the scales, a 5-pounder, obviously, is a game-changer. And there’s nothing like the feeling of having one of those in the livewell at 8:20 a.m. That’s exactly what Clent Davis has done this morning.

The 33-year-old Montevallo, Ala., veteran angler returned to the Elite Series this year after winning the FLW Cup last year. He started the day in 11th place.
