Keith Combs of Temple, Texas, grabbed third place on day one with 16 pounds, 12 ounces.

Combs only had six bites today, but it looks like he’s on to better-quality fish when compared to the numbers of small fish other anglers talked about catching today.

I’m throwing a Floatin Toad made by Big Bite Bait's, and it’s a little different from other top water toads in that it floats high on the surface when it’s stopped instead of sinking,” he revealed. Being able to pause it in the holes and let it float there motionless seems to trigger the bites.

Combs did catch some fish on other baits today, but the biggest ones came on the frog.
