Hawk Leads Day One of Forrest Wood Cup.

Kevin Hawk of Ramona, Calif., might have made the right moves the last year to break this thing wide open. Hawk was Ehrler's practice co-angler in west coast events last year while qualifying for the Forrest Wood Cup. He qualified through the Western Series events out west and is now leading the biggest FLW Outdoors event of them all. Hawk caught 14 pounds, 12 ounces. The 15-pound limit proved impossible on a brutally hot day that saw little wind and very skittish bass.
Drop shotting deep was the story of the day, but the wildcard of the event is going to be the shallow largemouth. Ott Defoe ran way up the river in a Bass Tracker john boat rigged with a 150HP Mercury outboard on the back and caught a good limit of largemouths in shallow water.
