Robert Louthian and Tammie Muse won the H&W Marine Classic this weekend on Lake
Dardanelle with a two-day total of 10 bass weighing 33.71 pounds. For their victory, the duo
won a fully rigged Triton boat valued at $14,000.00. The H&W Marine Classic is the
culmination of the H&W Tuesday night tournament series that takes place in Little Rock.
The series will move to Thursday night in 2007. Here's a look at the top 5 finishing teams:
1st - Robert Louthian and Tammie Muse - 10 bass - 33.71 pounds
Tammie and Robert stayed close to
home to take the victory. "We
probably didn't burn 10 gallons of
gas during the tournament" said
Muse. They concentrated their efforts
on weed edges and threw
spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, and Horny
Toads to catch their fish. For their
victory, they took home a fully rigged
Triton Boat valued at $14,000.

2nd - Steve and Jason Powell - 10 bass - 28.33 pounds
Steve and Jason had to weed through
alot of small fish to catch their keepers,
but managed to land at least 5 solid fish on
each of the two days of the tournament.
"We probably caught 130 - 140 fish during
the tournament" said Powell. The father/son
duo also concentrated on submerged
vegetation, and threw Arkansas Hawg Caller
Buzzbaits and War Eagle Screaming Eagle
spinnerbaits to land their fish.

3rd - Billy Matthews/Joey Hurley - 10 Bass - 27.66 pounds
Billy and Joey concentrated their efforts
around coontail vegetation and threw horny
toads, spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, and jigs to
catch their fish. On Day 2, they had to pull off
some last minute heroics to upgrade their
sack, as they caught a 3 and a 5 pounder late
in the day.

4th - Johnny Lewis/Jay Lewis - 10 Bass - 26.20 pounds
On day 1, the Lewis duo stayed close to the state
park and threw 1/2 oz. War Eagle Screaming Eagle
spinnerbaits around wind blown banks. On day 2
they ran way up river (near Ozark dam) and
threw the spinnerbait and Norman Middle N
crankbaits (lavender shad) around jetties. They
said that the current on the second day really
helped their bite.
Johnny and Jay Lewis
5th - Stevie Heflin/Jacob Wilson - 10 Bass - 23.44 pounds
Stevie and Jacob fished a flat in the back of
a creek that had a few stumps in areas. They
concentrated on windy banks and threw
spinnerbaits and buzzbaits to land their fish.
They commented that dropping water may
have hurt their bite.
