Brothers John and Joe Giuliani only brought 4 fish to the scales but that was enough to lead after day one by more than 2.5 pounds. The winners of last year's tournament continued to show their knowledge of this system with a day one weight of 17.87#

In second place with 15.32 pounds were Wayne VanDyke and Erich Carlson.Third place belongs to Kal and Rick Ustishen with a weight of 14.52 pounds.
4th place: Jeff Manz and Gary Gorsuch 14.49#

If the weather cooperates as predicted tomorrow, the first teams will take off at 8:00. Weigh in will begin at 4:00.
