GARLAND, Texas – Ranger pro Todd Auten of South Carolina leads the Bass Pro Shops PAA All Star Series on Lake Ray Hubbard after the first day with 22.96 pounds.
The field found a finicky bite on Ol’ Mother Hubbard, which didn’t completely open its cupboard. The big bass predicted by some pros and several locals didn’t fully materialize. Skeeter pro Harley Brigman of Texas landed the day’s big bass, an 8.34-pounder that snarfed a crankbait.
