Ken and Sandra Dillon Win on the Arkansas River!!!
Ken and Sandra Dillon topped 27 couples fishing the Arkansas Couples Tournament this weekend on the Dumas Pool of the Arkansas River by catching 5 bass that tipped the scales at a whopping 22.82 pounds. The bite was tough for most of the couples, as only four 5-bass limits crossed the scales. Here's how the top four teams caught their fish:
1st - Ken and Sandra Dillon - 5 bass - 22.82 pounds - $825.00
Ken and Sandra fished a channel drop located in a backwater area. They threw Strike King Series 5 crankbaits (Sexy Shad) to catch their fish.
