The Oakley Big Bass Tour has come back to Lake Norman for the 4th straight year and is off to a great start with 580 anglers showing up to try and cash in on the impressive hourly payouts as well as the $30,000 Grand Prize of a boat-motor-trailer pkg. Day one was cruising along and in the last 2 hours we had 1 five and 1 6 Lb kicker that have made things very interesting going into Sunday. Mark Holman brought in an impressive 6.47 Lb fish the last hour and not only won the hour ($1000) but also took the overall lead in the Tournament. With blue bird skys and temps rising Sunday, that is not going to be an easy weight to eclipse. Here are some pic’s as well as the top 10 from today:
