Zach King topped 35 anglers fishing the Mr. Bass of Arkansas Classic on
Lake Dardanelle by catching 10 bass that weighed 25.02 pounds during
the 2-day event. Zach took home a fully rigged Ranger Boat paired with a
200 HP Mercury Motor for his efforts. Here's how the top 3 finishers
caught their fish:

1st - Zach King - 10 bass - 25.02 pounds - Ranger/Mercury package

Zach experienced
mechanical problems early
on day 1, but bounced back
with a 13.86 pound bag that
he caught on the upper
end of the lake on a Booyah
spinnerbait (1/2 oz; Chart./
White). On day 2, he headed
to a flood gate that was
running water and loaded
the boat. He used a Bomber
Fat A (firetiger) to catch his
day 2 fish.

James Frank Wins the Amateur Division of the Mr. Bass of
Arkansas Classic on Lake Dardanelle



















                    James Frank is congratulated by Ronnie Everett!!!

James Frank - 6 bass - 14.11 pounds - Ranger/Mecury package

James fished with Chad Fulmer on Day 1. Although he had a tough day, he
was able to catch 1 bass on a jighead worm (Zoom Trick Worm; Redbug).
On day 2, he fished with Kyle Henderson. The duo fished in the Shoal Bay
area and concentrated on fish positioned along a shallow creek channel.
James was able to land 4 keepers early on a Bandit 100 crankbait
(splatterback). Later in the day, a school of fish came up and he landed
multiple keepers on a Excalibur XR 50 lipless crankbait. At this point,
James had a small limit, but probably did not have enough to win the
event. He topped off his bag near the State Park with a 4-pounder on the
XR 50 in the last 5 minutes of the tournament and the rest is history. For
his victory, James took home a fully rigged Ranger Boat with a 150 HP
Mercury Motor.

Here's the rest of the top 5:

2nd - Ed Boydston - 13.67 pounds - $1,000.00
3rd - Stephen Brock - 13.34 pounds - $500.00
4th - Brad Patterson - 10.79 pounds - $250.00
5th - Fred Wantland - 10.46 pounds
