Brian Miller and Tom Phillips
Brian Miller and Tom Phillips topped 28 teams fishing the second Get5Bass Summer Series Tournament of 2008 by catching 5 bass that weighed 16.65 pounds. With the storms moving out it was a pleasant evening to be on the water. The tournament this week was sponsored by Brangus Steak House. As the fish were brought in this evening it seemed as though the fishing was tough on a lot of people or they were using this as a final day of practice for the Lake Dardanelle Big Bass Classic this weekend. Here's How the top 3 teams caught their fish:
1st Place - 16.65lbs - Brian Miller/Tom Phillips They were throwing soft plastics in Deleware Bay area and caught a bunch of fish before dark. As soon as the sun went down the bite shut off. They had 8 keepers for the night.
2nd Place - 14.32lbs - Kris Lott/Joey Fisher They were throwing crakbaits shallow around the grass and had trouble getting bites while there was still light. They caught almost all their fish after dark. They primarily stayed in the lower lake area.
3rd Place - 13.47lbs - Ron Reid/John Harris Jigs, Jigs, Jigs. They were mid-lake fishing rocks with jigs and could not get their 5th fish. All their fish were shallow along the rocks and some grass.
Big Bass - 5.62lbs Caught by Blake Martin
Our next Summer Series Tournament will be May 8th, 6-9 at the Lake Dardanelle State Park.
