Our bass dude, Big Fred Contaoi had a strong showing on Day 1 of the Walmart FLW Tour’s first stop of the season at Lake Guntersvillle, AL Thursday. Big boy got onto a nice pattern he put together in practice and it payed off to the tune of 4 largemouth that weighed 17-pounds, 10 ounces.
The sack of fish was good enough to put him 39th place — well within striking distance of making the cut tomorrow. Of course, had he not lost two other big bass, he would be sitting even more pretty as he’s only 3 pounds out of the top 10. At FLW Tour events, remember, they cut down from 200 anglers to 10 after day two, so a good showing tomorrow is a must.
Contaoi’s co-angler from Day 1, Terry Chapman of Stanley, NC is currently in third place overall in the co-angler (“backseat”) division.
Will Friday the 13th be the day Big Fred takes a huge step forward in his career? Tune in tomorrow for an update!
