Brian Maloney cracked a 15-04 stringer today to take the lead after day 1 of the BFL All-American. The event is running concurrent with the Potomac River FLW Tour Major, but the fields are fishing separate sections of the river.
The Missouri resident, who finished 6th at the TBF National Championship in March, holds a 4-ounce lead over Michigander Marc Sndyer. Dick Shaffer caught 14-07 and is 3rd, Conrad Bolt was an ounce lighter in 4th and Rob Digh sits in 5th with 13-02.
Here’s a quick glance at the Top 10 following day 1:
1. Brian Maloney: 15-04
2. Marc Snyder: 15-00
3. Dick Shaffer: 14-07
4. Conrad Bolt: 14-06
5. Rob Digh: 13-02
6 (tie). Roger Fitzpatrick: 12-11
6 (tie). Corey Saint: 12-11
8. Christopher Jones: 12-10
9. Dicky Newberry: 12-09
10. Scott Hamrick: 12-05
The field will be reduced to the Top 10 after day 2 and the winner will be determined following day 3 by highest cumulative weight. The winner will clinch a berth in this year’s Forrest Wood Cup.
