And the weigh-in is underway. Here’s Huff McIntosh and Chris Gaudin of Louisiana Tech who kicked the day off with a five-bass limit that weighed 12 pounds, 3 ounces; good enough to tie for 47th place. When the weigh-in concluded there would be 146 limits caught in the 263-boat field. Many of them slotted nicely into that 13, 12 and 11-pound range which is sure to make the rush to Friday’s cut intense.
