Julia Langford topped 350 + anglers fishing the Lake Dardanelle Big Bass
Classic this weekend by catching a 7.00 pound behemoth from Lake
Dardanelle. For her efforts, Julia earned $5,000 for the day's big bass, a
$5,000 Bonus for big bass of the tournament from Wilkins Brothers
Outdoors, and $500 for winning the hourly prize. All told, Julia will take
home $10,500 for her victory!!! With 342 entries on Saturday and 252 on
Sunday, the Lake Dardanelle Big Bass Classic continues to grow. The event
will be bigger and better next year, and will be held on April 24th and 25th
2010. The event would not be possible without the efforts of the Wilkins
Brothers (Justin and Mike), Ron Knost, and the Russellville Advertising
and Promotion Commission. Their dedication has brought a "first class"
big bass tournament to Russellville and Lake Dardanelle. Here's a look at
today's hourly winners:
Winner: 10:00 AM Hour - Julia Langford - 7.00 pounds - $10,500.00
Julia won the 10:00 hour with a
beautiful 7.00 "Dardanelle Hawg". She
was fishing shallow grass with a
4-inch Tube (black/red flake) when the
behemoth hit. She described a great
fight with the fish but finally got it in the
boat. The fish got her adrenaline going
and she was still shaking as she weighed
the fish in!!! I would be too.... Get5
congratulates Julia on her great catch!!!
