The fish catching has picked up over the last 30 min.  There have been probably 4 or 5 keepers caught in a short span.  Both teams have similar weights with Murray likely having a pound or two advantage.

At first check this morning, Murray State has two fish for just over 9 lbs.  Bethel has one fish, and we do not know the weight of that fish.  Teams have moved to their second spots of the morning now.

Good morning from Fayette County Reservoir for the 2020 Ranger Cup University Challenge.  Cole Floyd & Carter McNeil from Bethel University are facing off against Blake Albertson and Adam Puckett from Murray State.  The anglers will be competing in an every fish counts format event beginning just shortly.  Every two hours weights will be totaled and a score update provided for the anglers to know how they are matching up.  It should be a great day!  Stay tuned for more updates!
