Walters has two squeakers

Read “sarcasm” in the photo above. Patrick Walters provided an overly dramatic display of his second bass of the day. That’s not one he hopes to have in his bag at weigh-in time. But catching a tournament-leading 15-pound, 12-ounce bag on Day 1 leaves you in a good mood on Day 2. Gettys Brannon reports that Walters has found a 3-pounder on a spawning bed now, hoping to add a bigger bass to his livewell this morning. 

Walters’ co-angler today is Shaun Avery of Windham, Maine.
