The first team in was boat 9, Mitchell and Matthew Corbett, weighing in at 5.77lbs. It took the bait within the first 30 seconds in the water – before they even had a second line in.
No sooner than they left the scales than boat 19, Jason LeBlanc and Tim Szaflik, pulled up to weigh in THEIR big walleye – 7.55lbs! They also weighed in their two under slots for a day one, three fish total of 11.18lbs. They headed back out to hunt down one more big fish for the day.
