Over 1,000 fish have been processed on the new Fish Battle App as of 10am so the bite has been great to start day 1. Come on down to Menominee Park this afternoon for the weigh ins starting at 2pm. Contestants will cross the stage with their top 5 fish shown to the crowd on screen along with total daily weight. What’s going to be the top weight today?
