Will and Roberta Cranston Win Arkansas Couples Tournament on Lake Greeson
Will and Roberta Cranston win with 10.42 pounds!!!
Will and Roberta Cranston topped 31 teams fishing Vince Miller's Arkansas Couples Tournament this Sunday on Lake Greeson by bringing 5 bass to the scales that weighed 10.42 pounds. While fifteen 5 bass limits were brought to the scales, the couples weights were probably kept down by a cold front that ushered in bright blue skies and sunshine. The next couples tournament will be held at Greers Ferry Lake on May 20. Hamburgers will be grilled at J's Marine Supply after registration, so tie on your feed bag and head to Greers to fish the next couples tournament!!! Here's how the top 5 teams caught their fish:
1st - Will and Roberta Cranston - 5 bass - 10.42 pounds - $900.00
