Marshals: Day 1 Lake Lanier

With a little prayer numbers four and five are in the boat for Clark Wendlandt.

Randy Sullivan catches an afternoon cull.

Finally – Bill Weidler with number five.

We havenât been off the grid…Hank Cherryâs bite simply shut down after his 4-pounder that gave him five. Heâs been moving fast…just nothing seems to work.

Late day cull for Tacoronte.

Keith Combs fills the livewell with No. 5.

Awesome day on the water with Randy Pierson.

Jay Yelas just culled for a second time in a matter of casts and landed a solid keeper that culls out his smallest by over a pound and a half!

Latuso with No. 4.

Fifth fish for around 1 1/2 pounds. Time for Ed Loughran to start culling.

Nice upgrade for Hudnall.

Ed Loughran with his fourth fish for 1 3/4 pounds. It is warming up out here on the pond!

Pipkens got a great fish!

Been a grind for Dale Hightower but No. 3 is in the boat.

Robbie Latuso

Brandon Cobb started off with two keepers in the first hour this morning then it took 4 hours to get fish number three. Bites are far and few between!

After three missed fish Dale Hightower starting to put it together.

Jay Yelas has stayed glued to this spot for 28 minutes, 1 bait color change, and numerous short strikes but it just paid off with fish No. 3.

Much like basketball, this is turning out to be a game of runs today. Chris Johnston is making numerous short runs, hitting points and other marked spots in hopes of filling out his limit. Still sitting on 4 in the livewell.
