4/07/2018 Billy Graves To the Lead “I hit numerous spots the past couple of days on the Red River. I found a few of the spots holding schooling fish and that’s where I caught my smaller fish each day. After I caught my limit of the smaller ones I’d head out to open water to try and cull up. The wind kept me out of my open water today, so when I took first with only a little over five pounds I was shocked. Tomorrow I feel the fishing will be slow and I hope the wind dies down so I can fish the open water spots I found,” said Graves. Scott Dean of Terrell, TX is sitting in second place only ounce behind the leader. He brought in five fish limit giving him a three day total of 30.11 pounds. Tyler Rivet of Raceland, LA is sitting in third with a three-day total 29.25 pounds. The race to see who takes the co-angler title is a close on as well.

I did not fish to clean today, I missed three fish this morning,” stated West. David Simpson Jr of Gotham, FL is sitting in second with a three-day total of 14.31 pounds.
