Dylan Hawkins Wins Mr.Bass of Arkansas Tournament on Lake
Dardanelle
Dylan Hawkins Wins on Dardanelle!!!
Dylan Hawkins topped 81 boaters fishing the third Mr. Bass of Arkansas
Tournament of 2008 by catching 5 bass that weighed a whopping 25.42
pounds!!! A warm front pushed into the area early Sunday bringing rain,
lightning, thunder, and biting bass. This tournament was a "slug fest" and 5
bags over twenty pounds were brought to the scales. The bite on Dardanelle
continues to be on fire, as most tournaments are being won with 23 -25
pound bags. Here's how the top 3 boaters caught their fish:
1st - Dylan Hawkins - 5 bass - 25.42 pounds - $2,658.00
Dylan fished the mid-lake area,
where he threw Booyah Jigs and
Gambler Soft Plastics. Fishing
around vegetation was key, as some
of his fish were caught while he
"punched" mats. It is believed that
this is the largest winning bag in
MBOA history. Dylan is co-owner
of Get5Bass sponsor H&R
