Clent Davis adds a keeper after a bit of a dry spell. The wind has kicked up so has the anxiety of making the cut & getting paid. He really wants one more to fill his bag.

Kelly Jordon is starting to have a little more fun after boating No. 4 today. Still has a couple of line burners to cull but the day is still young and he is from Texas so I'm sure this isn't his first rodeo.

Photo: Bassmaster Marshal Ryan Wilson

34 / 127

While continuing to work the area we are currently in, Biffle sets the hook to bring this 2-pounder out of the water. This one gives Tommy his third keeper of the day. Tommy is now preparing to make another move while looking to fill his limit so that he can get to culling.

A crank bait legend David Fritts doing his thing. Slow muddy bite but picking up a few short fish.

Photo: Bassmaster Marshal Ken McDonald

50 / 127

Another move for Tommy Biffle. Just a short little run to his next spot. Swapping between two rods, he believes either of the two could produce the bites he needs to move up the leader board. Have only seen a couple of competitors anywhere close and Tommy said that could be good because he could have this to himself. It it could also be bad because that tells him the fish aren't here. He's caught a couple of short fish that wasn't even worth pulling the measuring board out for.

After a slow start Jeff Kriet catches a nice 3-pounder.

Last Flight take off might have paid off. First cast with Kelley Jaye hooked into a slab of 2 1/2-pounds. Shortly after turning on the well Jaye's second fish hooked up. The light winds, low level clouds have these two swallowing his bait.
