on DeGray Lake
Cody Kemp (right) wins on DeGray Lake!!!
Cody Kemp topped 85 pros' fishing the second Mr. Bass of
Arkansas Tournament of 2008 by catching 5 bass that tipped the
scales at 18.55 pounds. Rising cold water and bright blue skies
hampered the bite a bit on DeGray, but several anglers were able
to bring quality sacks of fish to the scales. Here's how the top 3
anglers caught their fish:
1st - Cody Kemp - 5 bass - 18.55 pounds - $2,750.00
Cody knew coming into the
tournament that he had a
good shot at catching a big
stringer. He fished the
lower end of Degray, where
he threw a Jewel Football Jig (
(5/8 oz., Black Blue Flash) to
catch his bass. Fishing
near the outside edge of the
grass in 25 - 35 feet of water
was the key to his success.

2nd - Steve Howard - 5 bass - 16.63 pounds - $1,400.00
Steve threw a crankbait all
day long. He relied on a
Norman Lures DD-22 to catch
his fish. Steve also earned
the Landers Bonus incentive.

3rd - Ryan Williams - 5 bass - 15.70 pounds - $1,100.00

were caught out of deep
water ranging from 15 - 22
feet.
