The live leaderboard is off, and the anglers are in the dark as to what their rivals are catching for the next three hours.
And so is the public. But here's what we do know.
Matt Herren led the 10th annual Toyota Texas Bass Classic coming into today, and he has the biggest catch so far on Sunday with 16 total pounds as of noon. The next biggest total today has been posted by Aaron Martens, who has climbed from ninth place to fourth with a 13-pound, 12-ounce bag so far.
Bryan Thrift, who was third overnight, is now in second overall with a 12-4 total today and a 3-day mark of 46 pounds. Andy Morgan has 10-8 today and 44-8 total, which is good for third place overall as of noon.
Luke Clasuen (fifth place at noon with a 43-pound total,) has caught 12-8 today. The other five anglers (Chris Zaldain, Dave Lefebre, Cody Meyer, Greg Hackney, and Kevin VanDam) have yet to reach double digits in weight today.
That's not all bad news for those anglers. Lefebre in particular said all his bites have been coming late in the afternoon, so it will be interesting to see if he has enough oomph to make up a 10-pound deficit on Herren.
The sky in north Texas is still overcast, but there is a substantial amount of glare and sun that Herren has suggested has aided his bite.
The final weigh-in will be held at 5 p.m. at Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas. The TTBC is a benefit for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's youth fishing and urban outreach programming. In the tournament's decade-long existence, more than $2.5 million has been raised for the TPWD from the Toyota Texas Fest.
