Bassmaster Classic 2024: Weigh-in Results and Friday Leaderboard

The first day of the 2024 Bassmaster Classic began on Friday with an exciting day on Grand Lake O' The Cherokees in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Justin Hamner, who is making his first Bassmaster Classic appearance this weekend, was at the top of the leaderboards after Day 1, bringing in five fish for a total weight of 22 pounds, 6 ounces. Just behind him was Cody Huff, who reeled in five fish for a total weight of 21 pounds, 5 ounces.

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:

Hamner got out to a great start on Friday and is now in a good position heading into Day 2. He's searching for his first win in the Bassmaster Classic, so he'll be looking for a big day on Saturday to preserve his narrow lead.

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.
