A brief thunderstorm this morning put a slight damper on blast off for day 3 of the Forrest Wood Cup at Lake Ouachita. By 8 a.m., though, the rain had stopped and the sun broke through.
The 20 anglers left spanned out across Ouachita looking to maintain their positions or, in some cases, make a charge up the leaderboard in hopes of making the Top-10 cut for tomorrow.
In the photo gallery below, check out some morning action involving Ramie Colson, Larry Nixon, Mark Daniels, Jr. and Brad Knight.

There's One!
