Ryan Guthrie and Ashleigh Guthrie topped 92 teams fishing this year's
Michelle Short Benefit Tournament on Lake Dardanelle by catching 5 bass
that tipped the scales at 20.75 pounds. This event keeps getting better, and
this year $8,000 dollars was raised for the Michelle Short Scholarship Fund
at the University of Central Arkansas. Here's how the top 5 teams caught
their fish:

1st - Ryan and Ashleigh Guthrie - 5 bass - 20.75 pounds - $6,000.00

Ryan and Ashleigh started on the
lower end, where they caught a
couple of keepers on a buzzbait.
Most of their damage was done on
the upper end of the lake, where
they hammered the fish on a custom
made crankbait. To see Get5's
