MARBURY, Md. – Starting his day with a big fish gave William Kemp a ton of confidence and no doubt helped him relax en route to topping day one of the Rayovac FLW Series Northern Division event on the Potomac River.Kemp, who caught a limit that weighed 19 pounds, 2 ounces, reported a rather lackluster morning bite. However, the bites he got were quality fish – including the 6-10 that bit at 8 a.m. and ended up earning Big Bass honors for the Scotland Neck, N.C. pro.

“Overall, it was pretty slow this morning and the fish bit better this afternoon,” Kemp said. “I just caught a couple of key big ones this morning. It was a slow bite, but I got the right bites.”
His big fish, he said, energized him and filled him with enthusiasm that was “through the roof.”
Kemp said that his morning fish bit Zoom Brush Hogs that he was flipping into grass. Later in the day, the fish seemed to become more interested in feeding.
“It just seemed that the fish switched up when the tide got higher – they got a little more active and aggressive,” he said.
