Dylan Hawkins Wins Mr.Bass of Arkansas Tournament on
Lake Dardanelle
Dylan Hawkins Wins on Dardanelle!!!
Dylan Hawkins topped 81 boaters fishing the third Mr. Bass of
Arkansas Tournament of 2008 by catching 5 bass that weighed a
whopping 25.42 pounds!!! A warm front pushed into the area early
Sunday bringing rain, lightning, thunder, and biting bass. This
tournament was a "slug fest" and 5 bags over twenty pounds were
brought to the scales. The bite on Dardanelle continues to be on fire, as
most tournaments are being won with 23 -25 pound bags. Here's how
the top 3 boaters caught their fish:
1st - Dylan Hawkins - 5 bass - 25.42 pounds - $2,658.00
Dylan fished the mid-lake area,
where he threw Booyah Jigs and
Gambler Soft Plastics. Fishing
around vegetation was key, as some
of his fish were caught while he
"punched" mats. It is believed that
this is the largest winning bag in
MBOA history.
Dylan and Ronnie Everett
2nd - Clint Ashley - 5 bass - 20.94 pounds - $1,425.00
Clint fished the lower end of the
lake, where he threw jigs and
Carolina-rigged soft plastics to
catch his fish. He commented that
his fish were situated in 5 - 8 ft. of
water.
Clint also received the Ranger Cup
Bonus worth $250 additional dollars
3rd - Jamie Black - 5 bass - 20.16 pounds - $1,044.00
Jamie had a great day on the water.
He threw a green pumpkin
Chatterbait to catch his fish.
