John Higman Won the Arkansas Big Bass Bonanza with a 7.30 pound
"Giant" caught out of the Fort Smith Pool of the Arkansas River. He will
receive $100,000 for his efforts.
Here's how a couple of Sunday's hourly winners caught their big bass on
Lake Dardanelle:
1st Place - 9:00 AM (Sunday) - Keith Nolan - 6.97 pounds
Keith had a 6.97 pound "Green
Willow Monster" that he caught
upriver. He was catching fish all
three days on a special bait that he
would not disclose. All the fish were
coming out of a single location that
he milked for the entire 3-day event.

1st Place - 10:00 AM (Sunday) - David Snow - 7.15 pounds

Baby" and was the overall Pool

when he pulled up on a laydown with
a Buzzbait and caught this fish at
7:40 Sunday morning.

1st Place - 1:00 PM (Sunday) - Joey Fisher - 4.58 pounds
"Coach Fish" aka Joey Fisher
played the wait and see game, as he
brought his fish in early but waited
until the last hour to weigh it in. His
4.58 pounder ended up in the top spot
for the win in the last hour of the
event for Dardanelle Pool. He was
catching his fish in the brush with a
jig and a worm.
