Wayne Dixon and Randy Allen Win Get5Bass Summer Series Tournament on Lake Dardanelle
This Week's Summer Series Event was brought to you by Rush Sporting Goods in Russellville, AR.
The duo of Wayne Dixon and Randy Allen topped 24 boats fishing the 5th Get5Bass Summer Series Tournament of the year by catching 5 bass that tipped the scales at 17.15 pounds. The "dog days" of summer are definitely here, as the anglers had to deal with air temperatures that topped the 100 degree mark and water temperatures in excess of 90 degrees. Eight limits crossed the scales early Sunday Morning, including 3 fish over the 5 pound mark. The big bass of the evening was caught by the winning team of Dixon and Allen, and tipped the scales at 6.01 pounds. Here's how Wayne and Randy caught their fish:
