DAY 1 June 7, 2020
KISSIMMEE, Fla. – The first Qualifying Day of the Toyota Heavy Hitters Presented by Venmo is complete, and Brent Ehrler has the biggest bass on SCORETRACKER®, with an 8-pound, 6-ounce largemouth. When Group A returns to the Kissimmee Chain on Tuesday, that’ll be the big bass to beat in order to bring home a $25,000 bonus prize.
Moments before Ehrler landed the 8-6, Justin Lucas set the bar with an 8-3.
John Murray also had an interesting afternoon. He caught two big bass in a row, each weighing 7-13.
While they’re competing to catch the biggest bass of the Qualifying Round, these anglers are also concerned about making the cut on Tuesday and moving on to the Knockout Round. Murray is in fourth place (29-6), Lucas is in sixth place (20-5) and Ehrler sits in 13th place (16-8).

Big Bites Make a Big Difference
Mark Daniels Jr. only caught two fish all day long, but one of them carried him a long way up SCORETRACKER®. Daniels hooked into a 7-15 Florida largemouth in the second period that stood as the Berkley Big Bass of the Day for nearly five hours before Mark Rose knocked him off that perch with a 9-2. The Favorite Fishing pro ended the day in 16th place with a total weight of 12-5.
Andy Morgan needed a 7-pound, 5-ouncer early in Period 3 to save him from the bottom 20. Morgan mustered up a couple of other 2-pounders the rest of the day, and sits in 17th after his first Qualifying Round.
Luke Clausen started his day with a 5-12 in Period 1, but could only find two other scorable fish for 5-8 the rest of the day. Clausen is trying to make his third Knockout Round of the 2020 season.
