LAKE GUNTERSVILLE, AL -
Jason Tucker of Cedar Bluff,
Ala., doubled up Saturday
twice, now he's just hoping
his fish holds up for the
grand prize of the
McDonald's Big Bass Splash.
Tucker weighed in a
10.21-pound bass in the 8
a.m.-9 a.m. hour on Saturday
to earn $1,000 for first
place, and he doubled that
by investing $15 in a
T-shirt that awarded the
bonus for two specific
hours.
Tucker caught the fish
around 6:30 a.m., his first
bite of the day. He was
fishing a DD22- Citrus Shad
in 8 to 9 feet of water.
Tucker also caught a 6.74
and weighed it in the 12-1
hour, which won him an
additional $1,000 for
topping that hour. He must
know now what they mean when
they say, "you've got to
spend money to make money"
as his T-shirt earned him a
second $1,000 bonus. His $15
Bonus T-shirt won him an
extra $2,000 for the day.
Tucker now hopes the 10.21
will hold up for the overall
place to win a Triton 18
Explorer powered by Mercury
Marine, equipped with Minn
Kota trolling motor and
Lowrance Electronics.
