FLW King Tournament Slow on Day 2

Day 2 of Southport's Wal-Mart FLW Kingfish Tournament Series event was slower than expected and only 35 of the 89 boats brought a king mackerel to the scales. The day's biggest king was caught by a North Carolina team, Team Fish Meister. Fish Meister was surprised by their king which weighed in at 41 pounds, 5 ounces, just 1 pound and 4 ounces under Day 1's leader. The team had originally thought the king mackerel was only about 30 pounds and had a nice surprise at the scale. Since the fishing was slow near Southport, Fish Meister made the 180 mile round trip to fish off Morehead City and landed their king using a mullet on the shotgun line approximately 100 feet back. The final 5 teams have been set for Saturday's final round and the possible $100,000 first prize: Team Nailhead hangs onto first; Team Fish Meister is in second; Team Hooligan of Sunset Beach, NC leapt into 3rd with a Day 2 35 pound king; Team Kellogg's is in 4th; and Team Lured Away hangs onto 5th. More on Day 2 in Southport is available from the FLW website.
