Don Douglas Wins on Lake Dardanelle!!!
Don Douglas topped 60 boaters fishing the second Bassmaster Weekend Series Tournament of the season by catching 3 bass that weighed 15.34 pounds. The bite remains brutally tough on Lake Dardanelle and 5-bass limits were a rarity. Here's how the top 3 boaters caught their fish:
1st - Don Douglas - 3 bass - 15.34 pounds
Don caught his bass on a spinnerbait. He was having a slow day but it turned around at noon when he found a school in a shallow pocket.

Darrell stayed on the trolling motor all day and threw a rattletrap to catch his fish.
