Greg Gutierrez, one of the smallest anglers on the Bassmaster Elite Series, caught the biggest bag today at Clear Lake. The 5-foot-3 full-time firefighter hauled in 32-13 to take the day-1 lead in what could become a record-breaking tournament as thousands of big fish have moved into the shallows and appear poised to lock onto spawning beds.

He has a 4-ounce lead over fellow Californian Ish Monroe, who’s 2nd with 32-09. He predicted 9 days ago that Preston Clark’s 4-day record of 115-15 would be broken at this event.
