Big Fred hanging tough at Okeechobee

Two days into the FLW Eastern Series event at Florida’s Lake Okeechobee, Big Fred Contaoi has stayed true to his pre-season gameplan, and weighed in 5 fish on each of the first two days of the tourney. The result is he’s holding his ground and is in a position, with a solid day on Friday, to earn a paycheck.

On the first day, his 5-fish bag weighed 7 pounds, 6 ounces and then he added another 11 pounds, 8 ounces today for a total of 18-14.
