Bass didn’t stay pinned for Big Fred on Day 1 of FLW Tour Stop at Fort Loudoun-Tellico Lakes

After a successful day of filming with the TLC and American Chopper gang yesterday, our budding bass star, Big Fred Contaoi had a tough time keeping the bass hooked on Thursday’s opening round of the FLW Wal-Mart Tour’s stop at Tennessee’s Fort Loudoun-Tellico Lakes.

“I caught a ton of fish today but they were all dinks,” said Fred. “I had some good ones on but I just couldn’t keep ‘em hooked for some reason. It was a rough day…”

Currently in 188th place, Big Boy has a lot of ground to make up and will have to post a pretty good sack to make the cut on Friday, but we’ve got faith in him.

We wish him the best and we’ll keep you posted on his progress.
