Justin Lancaster and Johnny Judkins Win Get5Bass Winter Series
Tournament on Lake Dardanelle
















      Justin Lancaster and Johnny Judkins Win with 22.23 pounds!!!

Justin Lancaster and Johnny Judkins topped 21 teams fishing the final
Get5Bass Winter Series Tournament of the year by catching 5 bass that
weighed 22.23 pounds. This was Justin and Johnny's second Winter Series
victory and capped off a great season that seen them take home three
checks. The high pressure and bright blue skies hurt the bite on Dardanelle a
little on Saturday, but two teams managed to catch 20-pound + sacks. Here's
how the top three teams caught their fish:

1st - Justin Lancaster and Johnny Judkins - 5 bass - 22.23 pounds - $800.00

Justin and Johnny fished around wood and rocks on the lower end of
Dardanelle and caught 11 keepers on the day. They had a limit by 9:30 AM,
but were able to cull several times throughout the day. A black/blue jig and
3/4 oz. War Eagle spinnerbait (Mouse) produced their great bag of fish. Their
sack also included the day's big bass, a 6.12 pound "toad".

2nd - Danny and Sharon Waldo - 5 bass - 20.60 pounds - $400.00

Danny and Sharon fished the middle
section of Dardanelle, where they
caught 12-13 keepers on the day.
They relied on a drop shot rig tipped
with a Zoom Finesse Worm (green
pumpkin) to catch their fish. Danny
commented that their fish were caught
in deep water (15 - 20 foot) around
channel breaks.

before their bite died at noon. They

100) to catch their fish.
