It didn’t take long for the action to start on Day 3. With a 7 o’clock take off, followed by a few minute run, the 7:13 to 7:14 window produced four quick keepers. The first of those was a 5 pound, 2 ounce lunker caught by Keith Combs.
Anyone want to bet, Combs said the words or similar “Now that’s the way to start the day.” That seems to be the universal statement after every early big fish.
Combs’ fish gave him 7 minutes of leading the Big Bass category for the day.
At 7:21, he was unseated by Cory Johnston with a 7-10, who incidentally also scored a 4-9 in the same minute. And again that’s the way to start the day.
