Glasgow boats two limits to capture Arkansas National Title on Dardanelle
Russellville, AR April 23, 2005 -Wind gusting to 25mph from the northwest, with dropping temperatures, did not prevent the women anglers providing a great weigh-in here on Lake Dardanelle.  The WBFA Tour Beauty & The Bass event concluded today with a final weigh-in at Dardanelle State Park.  Beautiful weather on the bank however, proved to provide tough bass fishing conditions for the anglers out on the lake.
 
The Dardanelle A.P. Board acted as host for this, the fourth point-carrying tournament event in the 2005 WBFA Tour season.  Preliminary work by the Lake Dardanelle Lady Anglers, an affiliated bass club of the WBFA, provided loads of information for the contenders, great hospitality and recognition from the community, and made the event a very enjoyable one for all.  Lake Dardanelle is a premier bass fishery and the facilities at Dardanelle State Park are state-of-the-art when it comes to bass tournament mechanics and protecting the lake's great natural resource.
 
The women anglers were allowed to trailer to their various destinations because of the predicted, windy conditions.  They still had to be out of the water and checked in on time at Lake Dardanelle State Park's weigh-in facility for the 3pm final weigh-in however.  Safety of the anglers is a very high priority of the WBFA Tour tournament officials.
 
Despite two days of very windy conditions, and dropping temperatures, Sheri Glasgow managed to bring two limits of bass to the weigh-in, and captured the Arkansas National Title.  Her two-day total was 27.04 pounds of bass, and she also took the second-day lunker award of over $400
with a bass weighing 3.91 pounds.  Local favorite, Joan Craig of London, AR, placed second with 21.62 pounds and Lisa Sternard from Clarksville, TN finished third with 21.40 pounds. Rounding out the top 5 were Pam Martin Wells hailing from Bainbridge, GA and Cheryl Lalumandier from Harvester, MO.
 
The non-boater winner, Dianne Kegley, of Norphlet, AR brought a two-day total 14.68 pounds to the scales and took the second-day lunker award of over $300, with a 3.78-pound bass.  Debbie Pegoli from Loveland, OH finished second with 10.71 pounds.  Finishing out the top 5 were; Laura Moore of Vidor, TX, Robin Babb from Livingston, TX and Tammy Ply hailing from Harrison, AR.
 
The WBFA Tou's final 2005 season stop will be on Lake Eufaula in Eufaula, AL in June.  The top finishers for the season will be decided there.  The Lake Eufaula event will also serve to kick off the 2006 season.

NORTH WIND BLOWING BEAUTIES ON LAKE DARDANELLE
 
April 23, 2005 - Thunderstorms rumbled across Lake Dardanelle during the wee hours Friday morning, but quickly cleared to provide a smooth first-day takeoff for the WBFA Tour Beauty & The Bass event.  Though late-afternoon winds were predicted to reach 15 to 25 mph, they were gusting up to 37mph by noon.  Not only did this development provide difficult fishing conditions for the Women anglers, running back to the weigh-in site became an unsafe and very tricky proposition.  Four to six foot swells made running, or crossing, the main lake almost impossible.
 
Concerned for participant safety, Tournament Director, Willie Cook, made the decision to allow anglers to be trailered back to the weigh-in site.  Many of the anglers took advantage of this safety precaution, though almost 50% of the field made it back without trailering.  Wet, cold and wind-tossed was the norm for those that did brave the run back.  By the Grace of God no one suffered personal injury or damage to fishing equipment.
 
Fifteen States are represented in the ranks of anglers participating in this the fourth qualifying event of the 2005 WBFA Tour season.  There is also a competitor from Japan, who is fishing her third event on the tour.
 
Top five anglers in the Pro Division include: Pam Martin Wells of Bainbridge, GA, Sheri Glasgow, from Muskogee, OK, local favorite Joan Craig from London, AR, Lisa Sternard hailing from Clarksville, TN and Cheryl Lalumandier from Harvester, MO.  Wells is the first day leader with 14.12 pounds of bass. 
 
Debbie Pegoli of Loveland, OH, leads the Non-Boater Division with 8.25 pounds.  Rounding out the top five are: Dianne Kegley, from Norphlet, AR, local Mary James hailing from London, AR, Lisa Craig of Chandler, TX and Tammy Ply of Harrison, AR.
 
Two-time World Champion, Judy Wong, of Sugar Land, TX took today⤙s Pro's lunker award with a 4-pound bass.
 
Amateur Lunker award went to Robin Babb of Livingston, TX with a 4.24-pound bass.
 
â¤With tomorrow⤙s prediction being very close to today⤙s, I have decided to allow the anglers to trailer to their favorite launch, fish their area, and trailer back to the weigh-in siteâ¤?, Cook said about the final day⤙s competition.  When asked how that process would work fairly for all, Cook replied; â¤The competitors must put in and take out at the same launch, they cannot take out and trailer to any other launch, and they will all honor a first-cast time of 6:05 am.â¤?  â¤The final weigh-in will still begin at 3 pm promptly on Saturday at Lake Dardanelle State Parkâ¤?, Cook said.
