When it comes to being around the biggest fish, BP pro Guido Hibdon of Sunrise Beach, Mo., might be the man to watch in this tournament.

His day-one catch of 19 pounds, 3 ounces for fifth place is certainly something to brag about on its own merits, but also consider that Hibdon’s co-angler – Derrick Snavely of Rogersville, Tenn. – caught a whopping 26 pounds from the back of Hibdon’s boat.

“You think I’m around some fish or what?” Hibdon asked after realizing that some 45 pounds of bass had come from his BP-wrapped Ranger boat.

“We actually got on these fish quite by accident,” Hibdon laughed. “I’m not going to say what we were fishing, but let’s just say I flipped up there a little too far, got hung, and when I shook my lure free – whammo – the first bass of the day hit. That’s when the light bulb came on – we were not fishing shallow enough on this stuff – these big fish were way up in it. Once we figured that out, we mauled them.” Read Complete Story
