Matt Lea and Danny Myatt Win Super Team Tournament on the
Arkansas River


















             Danny Myatt and Matt Lea Win at Little Rock!!!

Matt Lea and Danny Myatt topped 47 teams fishing Vince Miller's Super
Team Tournament this weekend on the Little Rock Pool of the Arkansas
River by catching 5 bass that tipped the scales at 16.84 pounds. Rising
water made the bite tough for some, but eleven 5 bass scales were brought
to the scales. Here's how the top 4 teams caught their bass:

1st place - Matt Lea and Danny Myatt - 5 bass - 16.84 pounds - $2,600.00

Matt and Danny's day was not without drama. Matt's motor broke down on
the way to Pool 8, but he was still able to make it up there. After conferring
with Vince, Matt and Danny received a replacement boat and were able to
make it back to Little Rock in time to win the tournament. To top that off,
they narrowly topped Adam Wright and Skipper Grise in the "Anglers of the
Year race. Matt and Danny's bag consisted of fish caught in Pools 8,7, and
6. They commented that crankbaits and tubes worked off of the jetty tips
produced most of their weight.

2nd place - Teddy Bogard/Terry Hopson - 5 bass - 15.65 pounds - $1,100.00

Teddy and Terry fished Pool 7,
where they fished crankbaits and
jigs around jetties to catch their
bass.
