TOURNAMENT FISHING — Brandon Palaniuk , 24, of Rathdrum, Idaho, had a horrible start among the 50 select anglers who roared off this morning to start the 2012 Bassmaster Classic on the Red River near Shreveport-Bossier City, La.

The weigh-in has just been completed, and Palaniuk is the only angler in the field who caught no fish.

He’s in last place after Day 1. I don’t have a report on what happened.
