Boyd Duckett Wins Bassmaster Legends Tournament on Lake Dardanelle!!!
Boyd Duckett (Demopolis, AL.) has had quite a year to remember. He kicked off
2007 with a win at the most prestigious tournament in all of bass fishing, the
Bassmaster Classic, in his home state of Alabama (Lay Lake). The win was worth
$500,000. Now Boyd can add another feather to his cap (not to mention another
$250,000), a victory at the Bassmaster Legends held the past four days on Lake
Dardanelle. Boyd landed just over 30 pounds (30-01) this weekend on the 6-hole
course that was developed in the Illinois Bayou creek arm of Dardanelle to top
Jason Quinn (Lake Wylie, SC) by 10 ounces.
Duckett, who reportedly fished deep offshore structure on day 3, had to fish
shallow on day 4. Most of his day 4 keepers were caught as he pitched to holes in
the water willow (Dardanelle's signature grass).
Quinn who landed over 29 pounds of bass the final two days, also relied on the
shallow bite. He also targeted water willow, and he concentrated on steep, shady
banks located near the Illinois Bayou creek channel. His lure of choice was a
tru-tungsten jig.
Here are the top 6 finishing anglers:
Boyd Duckett (Demopolis AL) - 10 bass - 30-01 - $250,000
Jason Quinn (Lake Wylie, SC) - 10 bass - 29-05
Kevin VanDam (Kalamazoo, MI) - 10 bass - 28-06
Dean Rojas (Grand Saline, TX) - 8 bass - 26-03
Ishama Monroe (Hughson, CA) - 10 bass - 25-00
Tim Horton (Muscle Shoals, AL) - 7 bass - 16-11
