Winnipeg Team Leads FFCBC

(Mark Raveling of Longville, MN and Mike Luhman of Deer Park, WI are third after Day 1 of fishing with their catch of 19.11 lbs of bass)


Winnipeg team has grabbed the early lead in the Fort Frances Canadian Bass Championship.

Alex and Darrell Keszler were the only team crack the 20 pound mark, weighing in five bass at 20.1 lbs.

Darrell Keszler says it was a great start.

"We had an awesome day," says Darrell. "The old man was hot. We made great decisions, but in all honesty we didn't catch that many fish. Fishing has been tough but we got the right bites today."

Dorian Lindholm of Fort Frances and fishing partner Bill Wilcox of Texas sit half a pound back in second.

Three time defending champions Joe Thrun and Jim Moyaugh are thirteenth.
