Man, they sure do have the fish in Lake Dardanelle! I never imagined that it would take more than a 3 lb. average to make the top twelve at the Bassmaster Elite tournament held there May 15-18, in Russellville, Arkansas. On day 1, I landed a couple of good ones – enough to keep me in the running. But I also lost a couple of nice ones that sure would have helped the cause! On day 2, I expanded my area, fished clean, and weighed in with a better than average bag. I finished Friday safely within the cut. On day 3, I caught a lot of fish, but missed a couple of key bites. Bottom line, I didn’t make the day 4 cut, but I’m very thankful for my 19th place finish. Tennessee, here I come!
