Excerpt form FLW Outdoors article: Hodges holds slim 1-ounce lead on Kentucky Lake
by Jennifer Simmons - 02.May.2007

With a limit weighing 19 pounds, 8 ounces – just 1 ounce behind the leader – Curt McGuire of Lawrenceburg, Tenn., ended the day in the No. 2 spot. McGuire finished second in this event just two years ago.

While Hodges and some other pros were pleased with today’s weather, McGuire struggled a bit.

“It was pretty tough, the way I’m fishing,” he said. “They’re scattered. I wouldn’t call it deep, but I’m fishing out, and they’re all postspawn fish.”

McGuire fished Kentucky Lake today and caught mostly largemouths but a couple of good smallmouths as well.

“My co-angler caught a 6-pounder,” he said. “I didn’t get a big bite.”

Unfortunately for McGuire, tomorrow’s forecasts are calling for more rain and clouds – even a few thundershowers.

“That’s probably not going to help,” he said. “It is going to be tough for me to have enough fish for four days.”
