Danny and Sharon Waldo take Day One Lead at the Arkansas Couples Championship on Lake Dardanelle
Danny and Sharon Waldo take the day-one lead with 10.57
As predicted earlier this week, the bite was tough on day one of Vince Miller's Arkansas Couples Championship on Lake Dardanelle. The receding cold front left the anglers fishing on a bright blue - far from great conditions - but Danny and Sharon Waldo managed to bring four bass to the scales weighing 10.57 pounds. "We didn't fish the area we intended to" said Danny Waldo, "We just found an area we liked and fished it" Waldo continued. While you would expect the leaders to be confident about their chances to win, Waldo offered sentiments to the contrary. "I don't know what we are going to do tomorrow" -"I'd feel allot better if I knew everyone was going to leave tonight" said Waldo. Fat Chance. With four teams within three pounds of the lead, the competition will be stiff tomorrow. Here are the top 5 teams from day one:
1st - Danny and Sharon Waldo - 4 bass - 10.57 pounds 2nd - Michael and Tonya Johnson - 4 bass - 9.69 pounds 3rd - Ken and Sandra Dillon - 4 bass - 8.93 pounds 4th - Rob Louthian/Tammie Muse - 3 bass - 7.78 pounds 5th - Jeff and Venita Forrest - 3 bass - 7.76 pounds
Big Bass - Danalee Lofton and Kelly Helms - 4.58 pounds
