The team of Chad Morgenthaler (pictured) and Glenn Browne combined to catch a 31.89-pound bag today to capture the early lead at the PAA Tour Team Challenge at Lake Toho in Florida.
Charles Bebber and Chris Wilkerson were 2nd in the 18-team field with 28.22, followed by Bobby Lane and Gerald Brown with 26.45. The Lane/Brown team caught the day's biggest bass – a 10.59-pounder.
PAA communications director Alan Clemons reported that sight-fishing dominated the morning, with several fish in the 7- to 10-pound range landed early. The wind picked up midday, which made the bed-dwellers tougher to see. A cold front is on its way in and rain is expected for Friday.
