As might be expected, there was no shortage of big sacks on day 1 of the Lake Guntersville Southeastern Rayovac, as the Top 36 all weighed at least 20 pounds on day 1. Minnesotan Eric Schultz's 27-07 stringer was the best of the lot.
Schultz had a 1-04 lead over Michigan's Ron Nelson, who caught 26-03. The next two places were occupied by FLW Tour pros – Michael Neal with 25-10 and Robert Behrle with 25-01.
Here's a look at the early Top 10:
1. Eric Schultz: 27-07
2. Ron Nelson: 26-03
3. Michael Neal: 25-10
4. Robert Behrle: 25-01
