Takahiro Omori continues to be on fire with a topwater bait. He landed his fourth bass of the day, this one a 5-pound smallmouth. He made a short move before catching the smallmouth. This is where he caught three bass in four casts yesterday, according to photographer Seigo Saito. And Omori has now filled his limit with a 3-pounder. That gives him about 20 pounds.
John Crews is also hot this morning. BASSTrakk shows Crews with an 18 1/2-pound limit, and it probably came on a topwater lure as well. That’s what Crews used to catch an early 5-pounder yesterday. But Crews didn’t have much to follow up with, as he dropped from the Day 1 lead to sixth place after weighing only 12-0
