I'd say David Kromm did a little better today, with one of two 30lb sacks weighed in!

Well, Bill had a better day with 4 fish for 10-02. I spoke with him about the Tourney so far. He says that his boater yesterday, Schneider, was crank'n parallel to the weed line so Bill was unable to do much, although Bill caught a 7lb striper "thought he had a toad" Bill mentioned that Schneider is a nice guy, but that his technique makes it hard for a back-seater.
Today his boater, Klinger, was flipp'n so Bill was able get his four fish... lost a couple. Bill says he's havng fun and that it has been a wonderful experience so far. He's paired with Tony Lain tomorrow and weighs in at 4:30pm.
Go Bill! Ray

Having fished a "T" there before at the same time of the year, I can tell you it will be difficult for most co-anglers to get very much working for them unless the boater allows it. It will be an almost exclusive sight fishing "T" with the boat nosed into the Tules. If the co-angler can't fish forward of the front half of the boat, there's not much to throw at. I'd like to see a close up aerial photograph of Frank's Tract. I'll bet it's more crowded than I-5 at rush hour.

Bill's partner today is Klinger who had 19+ on day 1 (yesterday) and Bill's partner was Schnieder on day 1 who boated 25+ and was in the top 20. Bill hopefully learned a bunch from Schnieder yesterday and can apply it today while fishing with Klinger. Who's on first....? Go Bill!

How could his partner boat 19-5 for 15th place and Ron Hobbs have 21-1 for 42nd place

Saw he is paired with Klinger who boated 19-5 yesterday....His partner yesterday placed 15th.....must be a flipping show as alot of the Co-Angler numbers are significantly lower.
P.S. Hobbs is 42nd with 21-1.
