"That's scary," was Clifford Pirch's response to this huge bass that ran under the boat and broke water on the opposite side he was fighting it. Amazing catch and cull!

Britt Myers tagging No. 5 for the livewell! He has his limit and now it is time to do some culling.

Takahiro just put a 5-pounder in the livewell. Out came a 2 1/2. Nice cull! Perfect conditions for a good bag, sun, light breeze, this could get interesting.

32 / 81

They're bigger every bite. After the second one came this quick third. These are the size he's looking for!

Takahiro Omori is culling up slowly. This one is a thick 31/2 to 4-pounder. Not as much fishing pressure after the Day 3 cut, but Tak feels his bites are down from the pressure from practice and Days 1 and 2. He knows he needs a good bag today and is staying positive. He's a stick that's for sure. Very good at what he does! I'm learning a bunch.

Photo: Bassmaster Marshal Dan Shine

35 / 81

As Brandon said earlier, it's been slow. Maybe too much on the steady side. Conditions have changed significantly, no wind and very little current.

Photo: Bassmaster Marshal Rick Moore

36 / 81

Russ Lane is getting better bites now. Putting No. 7 in the boat and culling again. "Oh Yeah" he says.

Second one of the morning Alton Jones. As I type this he just hooked No. 3.

Photo: Bassmaster Marshal Rick Orellana
