Last year's winner of the Bassmaster Classic, Jeff Gustafson, had a decent day but is far from the top of the leaderboard. He brought in five fish for a total weight of 13 pounds, 13 ounces and sitting in 29th place. He'll have some work to do on Saturday, but a big day could propel him near the top.

Here's a look at the top 10 after Day 1:

Justin Hamner is a 🔨 on Grand Lake! According to BassTrakk, Hamner has a shot at taking the lead for Day 1️⃣ of the Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Classic presented by Jockey! <a href="">#bass</a> <a href="">#bassmaster</a> <a href="">#BassmasterClassic</a> <a href="">

Huff, who is appearing in his second Bassmaster Classic, is just over a pound away from Hamner and is looking to match his success to take the lead and get his first win at the Classic.

Rasmussen, Livesay and Przekurat are all within striking distance of Hamner, and with a full day of fishing ahead, things could get interesting during Day 2 in Tulsa.
