Prizes are all set up and ready to be awarded following the conclusion of weigh-in!

11:45 AM – October 10, 2021

Conditions today have set up for these anglers to possibly experience a better bite than on Day 1.  Early cloud cover this morning paired with a consistent, strong breeze should work in the anglers’ favor out there.  We will find out soon as weigh-in will begin in just over an hour!

11:20 AM – October 10, 2021

Watch the latest update from the Day 1 leaders here.

Robert & Luke from the University of Tennessee are now locking back to Dardanelle and have four keeper fish in the well.

10:40 AM – October 10, 2021

Watch this video we shot this morning with the Day 1 leaders from the University of Tennessee.

They are currently locking back on to Lake Dardanelle.  We will have another video update from them shortly recapping their day thus far.

9:55 AM – October 10, 2021

Updates are starting to roll in from the Top 3 on Day 1.

Ross & Nettles from East Texas Baptist have no fish in the well.

Gee & Byerly from Tennessee have four in the box.

8:20 AM – October 10, 2021

Day 1 leaders Robert Gee and Luke Byerly from the University of Tennessee are locking through this morning on the way to their first fishing spot.

Information received from the camera crew following them is that the lock master notified anglers that they would have to be back by 10:00 AM to return to Lake Dardanelle.  A significant amount of barge traffic is expected today, leading to the earlier return time.  This could have a significant impact on the teams that are locking, and force them to change up their gameplan drastically.

8:10 AM – October 10, 2021

Camera crews will be following the Top 3 teams to start the final day of competition at Lake Dardanelle.  We will provide updates from on-the-water as they come in.
