The first day of the 3^rd Annual Berkley Big Bass blast off on the California Delta had anglers on the water before sunrise today. Launching at 4am fishermen had four hours to find fish and blaze back to the scales by 8am for the first of six hourly weigh ins.

Every angler brought their best in the boat to any time slot they preferred. 

Following his recent Clear Lake win, Russ rode the rush, reeling in a record breaker for Berkley Big Bass. His 13.15 lb bass was confirmed to be the biggest bass brought in to a Berkley Challenge.

Brian Carpenter wins the11am weigh in.

Needless to say, Russ had the best bass of his weigh in at the 8am hour taking the first seat and the $500.

Tune in tomorrow for final results and to hear who hops in the truck and heads home.
