             Brandon Rhoden Wins on Lake Ouachita!!!

Brandon Rhoden topped 61 pro's fishing the first Mr. Bass of
Arkansas Tournament of 2011 by catching 5 bass that weighed 18.84
pounds. With the recent outbreak of winter weather and the cold
water runoff from the snow melting, the bite was tough on Ouachita
and only thirteen 5-bass limits crossed the scales. Here's how the
top 3 pro's caught their bass:

1st - Brandon Rhoden - 5 bass - 18.84 pounds - $2,188.00

Brandon commented that his day got off to a slow start, but turned
around in the afternoon. He caught his fish on Bill Lewis Rat-L-Traps
(Red) fished around ditches.

2nd Place - Kevin Late - 5 bass - 18.10 pounds - $1,326.00

Kevin threw an Excalibur XR-50
(Red) to catch his bass. He
commented that he caught 6
keepers on the day. Kevin's sack
also included the day's big bass, a
5.70 pound "Toad" that earned him
and additional $350.00.
