Zach King Wins the Bassmaster Weekend Series Tournament on
Lake Dardanelle


















                             Zach King Wins on Lake Dardanelle!!!

Story by Terrance Narveson

The Bassmaster Weekend Series made its stop on Lake Dardanelle this
past weekend. Even though the warmer weather has started to move in, the
lake water temperatures have stayed relatively cool, making the bite on
Dardanelle still a little tough. Only 28 boaters were able to bring in at least
1 fish and 19 co-anglers managed the same. Zach King, from Clarksville,
was the only angler to bring in a limit today, which helped him take the win
as he and Chris Roark tied for first place. Here is what our top three
anglers did to catch their fish:

1st Place - Zach King - 12.78 pounds

He started in the pits throwing rogues but was able to only get 2 keepers.
After that he fished around the lower end trying to find a few more fish, but
it was a late move that proved to be the ticket as he caught the rest of his
limit in about 20 minutes off one spot. It was an Excalibur XR25 lipless
crankbait that filled the limit out late in the day. To watch video of Zach

2nd Place - Chris Roark - 12.78 pounds

One more fish is all he needed to take the win but with only 4 fish he had to
settle for second (according to tie breaker rules). Chris also caught all his
fish on a rattletrap on the lower end of the lake. He said he was fishing
within sight of the park area.

3rd Place - Tim Gartman 8.74lbs

He traveled up the river and was focusing on flats with ditches and old creek
beds. His main bait was a squarebill crankbait.
