Our buddy, Big Bite Baits pro Russ Lane of Alabama was calm and anxious for the tournament to start when we talked to him last week at ICAST. He was confident he knew what the bass on Lake Jordan were doing and he proved it today by taking the opening day lead in the Bassmaster Elite Series Trophy Chase on Jordan. Lane had five bass for 17 pounds even, but only leads by 7 ounces. All 12 competitors caught a limit. Here is how the leaderboard fleshed out on day one.

1 Russ Lane      5 bass 17- 0
2 Greg Hackney   5 bass 16- 9
3 Kevin VanDam   5 bass 15- 4 
4 Aaron Martens  5 bass 14- 0
5 Gary Klein     5 bass 13- 6
6 Skeet Reese    5 bass 12- 4
6 John Crews     5 bass 12- 4
