Jaye’s big bass of the day – so far

Kelley Jaye, as far as we know, has the big bass of the day as we head into the final hours of Day 1 at the St. Johns River. This 8-pounder anchors his unofficial total of 18 pounds. He’s also got a 4-pounder in his livewell.

The 47-year-old angler from Dadeville, Ala., was successful at the St. Johns last year as well. He finished 11th with a three-day total of 57-8.
