As of 8:10 EDT, Drew Benton had the Phoenix Boats Big Bass lead with this 5-pound, 4-ounce stud. But we’ll go ahead and make an easy bet this one won’t take that cake at the end of Day 1.
The big bass are biting this morning. Benton, Caleb Kuphall, Scott Martin, John Crews, Greg DiPalma and Justin Atkins have all boated a bass over 4- pounds in the first hour. With 25- pounds predicted to lead here on Day 1 by several anglers, the big bites should keep rolling in as the day wears on.
