William and Amber Hope Win the Arkansas Couples
Tournament on Lake Dardanelle



















               Amber and William Hope Win on Lake Dardanelle!!!

William and Amber Hope topped 38 teams fishing the Arkansas Couples
Tournament on Lake Dardanelle by catching 5 bass that weighed 14.95
pounds. With the bright blue-bird skies and lack of wind, the bite bit very
tough on Dardanelle and only 4 teams brought 5-bass limits to the scales.
Here's how the top 3 teams caught their fish:

1st - William and Amber Hope - 5 bass - 14.95 pounds - $1,000.00

William and Amber did not crank their big motor all day. They fished on the
lower end of the lake, where they threw Zoom Trick Worms (Texas-rigged)
in the grass to catch their winning stringer.

2nd - Bret Hoffman and Amy Gannaway - 5 bass - 14.49 pounds - $600.00

Bret and Amy fished in the
Delaware Bay area, where they
threw jigs (black/blue) to catch
their bass.
