Smith with a 6-pound topwater bite

Taylor Smith found a big topwater bite, right at the noon hour. It was 6 pounds big and the big bass of the day so far. Smith, the B.A.S.S. Nation representative in the Classic for the second time, added a 3-pounder shortly afterward. He’s got 15-4 today and has moved into 6th place on BassTrakk after starting the day in 17th place.
