LITTLE ROCK, ARK. It's going to be hot, the skies may be bluebird and there isn't much current expected.

Legends: 3 questions with the pros

The sense of optimism among the anglers fishing the Bassmaster Legends on the Arkansas River is bleak. While being barraged by questions before the 6:50 a.m. takeoff, one Elite angler had an inquiry of his own:

Even VanDam makes mistakes

With two Bassmaster Classic titles and more than $2 million in winnings in BASS events, it's obvious Kevin VanDam doesn't make many mistakes once he gets a fish hooked. But he made one Thursday on the Arkansas River during the CITGO Bassmaster Legends Tournament presented by Goodyear.

Clunn enjoying the game

Four-time Bassmaster Classic champion Rick Clunn likes competing in the format set up for the three CITGO Bassmaster Majors this season. The Legends event is the final Major this year.

The Arkansas River will always be a special place to Mike McClelland, except for when it is fishing this hard.

Day Two: 3 questions with the pros

Eleven goose eggs. An average weight of 4 pounds, 7 ounces per angler. An average fish catch of 1.8 bass per angler. These aren't typical numbers for 55 of the world's best bass fishermen on the Arkansas River.
