Not really surprised that Rook is in the lead.  He is pretty familiar with that fishery.  What's up with KVD?

[Jimzee]

Looks like Ike is on top now. Never give up!! ;D

I wouldn't mind seeing Duckett pull another victory this year again but my hearts in it for Clunn.

as far as I can tell from the standings it looks as if it's a slow bite that he just can't get in on....I could be wrong...that was just my first thought

Unofficial Standings Page

Everyone who was talking about sandbagging totally missed Michael Iaconelli. We had him stuck on one fish for most of the day, then Iaconelli sits in the lock for about 20 minutes and comes out with 20 pounds.

One of those is a 7-pounder, and if all his weights are correct he has taken over the unofficial lead with 20-10. Rook is sitting behind him at 20-5 and Fralick and Duckett are tied for third at 17-10.

Folks at the expo in downtown Shreveport are mesmerized by the live leaderboard on the bigscreen behind the ESPN Outdoors booth. I heard one or two guys marvel at the zeros by KVD's name, but I have to assume that whatever he's caught simply hasn't been relayed yet.

The crowd in the expo center in downtown Shreveport is mesmerized by the Bassmaster Classic leaderboard.

A couple of the Elite Series guys are here with their happy faces on, signing autographs and making the rounds for their sponsors, but in the words of the inestimable Kevin Short: "Nobody wants to be here." To be here means you're not fishing right now. He told me he's not leaving Shreveport without a swatch of the artificial turf he was standing on outside the Costa Del Mar display. He wants to tape it to the back of his windshield for motivation next year.

Chris Lane and his brother Bobby both fished the Classic last year; this year, only Bobby qualified. I asked Chris how he was holding up here at the expo.

"It sucks," he said. (Not that he doesn't take it seriously; when he excused himself, he said, "Gotta get back to my job.")

He did have a question, though: "What's the latest? How's Bobby doing?" I said I didn't know any more than what was on the big board.

wow! where'd Ike come from?  they're catchin 20 lb bags, this is much better than I was expecting!

[Jimzee]

4:19 p.m. ET

Unofficial Standings Page

Ike's weight is actually closer to 15 or 16 pounds. I just got off the phone with the observer.

Earlier in the day, the observer was replaced by one of the ESPN cameramen. During the switch the GPS device stayed in Ike's boat.

While Ike was fishing, the observer's boat made a tape switch and Ike was in too sensitive an area to allow another boat to come in and retrieve the GPS. It stayed that way until they were in the lock.

At that time, the device was retrieved and the info added. Somehow, a 7-pounder was keyed in. No such fish exists. The true weight is much lower, putting Ike in the top 10 but not in the lead.
