Del Rio, Texas angler Byron Velvick took the day-one lead at Clear Lake today with a five-bass limit weighing 29-0. Velvick has been here before with a win and an 83-pound-plus three-day record to his credit on Clear Lake. In second place is California Wired2Fish angler Jared Lintner with 23-4. In third is Randy Howell with 23-3. Bill Lowen (22-14), Guy Eaker (21-14), Wired angler Matt Herren (21-13), Wired angler Denny Brauer (21-9), Kelly Jordon (21-8), Wired angler Jeff Kriet, and Skeet Reese (20-4) round out the top 10.
This could shape up to be a blow-out event as warming temps are forecast through the weekend.
