McKinney's Day 1 finish was especially impressive considering he's participating in his first Bassmaster Classic. The 20-year-old previously earned first place at the 2024 AFTCO Bassmaster Elite at Lake Fork.

Johnston initially took the lead on Friday before he was surpassed by McKinney, but he's still in position to compete for the top spot entering Day 2. He's no stranger to the Classic, as he's looking to improve upon his No. 6 finish in the 2024 competition.

Saturday's tournament coverage will begin at 8:30 a.m. ET, with weigh-in starting at 5:30 p.m. ET.
