It’s early and the Day 2 weigh-in at the Whataburger Bassmaster Elite at Neely Henry Lake is still hours away, but there are some fans and Elite anglers still near the Coosa Landing Boat Launch.
Walking down the river walk, a few Elites could be seen fishing the riprap across the river. A few minutes later, Dale Hightower arrived. He drew a small crowd as he slowly fished down a pier near the takeoff site.
