In the last half hour, Jacob Powroznik, Hunter Shryock and Alex Whetherell have all boated a bass over 3 pounds, Shryock’s being the biggest at an estimated weight of 4 pounds. This current Phoenix Boats Big Bass gave Shryock the lead momentarily, until Kenta Kimura culled with a 2-9 just moments ago to regain the lead. Kimura has a 3-pound kicker and nothing in the well under 2 pounds, which is a fantastic start here and likely the pace the inevitable winner will need to maintain across four days competition.
