Alton Jones, 3-pounder

We just got in close enough to  speak with Alton Jones, who told us he has a 3-pounder in the livewell. It was caught about 8:45, and Jones considers that a bonus because he hasn't been catching much early.

 

"I was just blind fishing," Jones said.  "I saw a hole in the grass and just pitched in there."

 

He caught it on a Yum Dinger and he's also using a finesse worm.
