Gotta watch out for Bill Alexander, currently in 3rd place on the pro
side.
Knows the Hudson between Kingston and Albany as well as anyone, and is a
very skilled angler.

I agree Rich. I have fished with Bill a few times and he is very capable of
winning this thing.

Gluzek's got the big lead based on catching a pig today. 18 pounds is a
big limit on the Hudson these days

His big fish was VERY BIG. He was one of the first to weigh-in and set a
very high standard. As you said, 18 pounds is very hard to come across on
the river now days.
It rained harder than I have ever seen at the weigh-in yesterday and also
this morning. I rode over the Catskill Creek on my way to our bass club
meeting last night and it was already chocolate brown. The rest of the week
should be very interesting.
