The Lady Bass Anglers Association’s Main Street Mission Charity Team Tournament today on the waters of Arkansas’ Lake Dardanelle was a huge success as 19 boats participated in this fundraiser for Russellville’s Main Street Mission.  This inaugural LBAA Charity Tournament raised $1835 plus numerous canned goods donations for the Main Street Mission.

Pam Duvall, public relations director for the Main Street Mission said, “Anytime an organization does this for us, we are so appreciative of it.  Thank you all so much.”  Today’s check for $1835 was the largest charitable contribution ever given to the Main Street Mission.

Now, turning to the fishing side of Saturday’s activities Lady Bass Anglers Association (LBAA) pro’s Robin Babb and Sheri Glasgow combined their efforts to bring in a five fish limit weighing 14.87 pounds.  Their catch netted them a $1,000 first place prize.  Babb and Glasgow also picked up another $200 as they were the highest placing team with a woman angler.

“The fish right now are relating to the main lake,” Glasgow commented.  “There are some areas that we had on the main lake that had little flats of grass that had pods of grass in them.  We would get in those areas and throw the frogs around the mats.”

“We came and practiced a few weeks ago together, so I felt I knew what she (Glasgow) would do,” Babb added.  “We were just very fortunate, and I want to say a special thank you to each and every person who came out and fished with us today.  We wanted to fish with you and we’re so thankful that you came and wanted to fish with us.”

Babb and Glasgow’s limit came on the River 2Sea’s Bully Wa frog.

Wayne Dixon and Jared Allen also brought a limit to the scales and their bass weighed 14.04 pounds and secured second place for them.  LBAA pro’s Debbie Kemp and Gail Wood came in third with a limit weighing 13 pounds.  Kemp, only 24 hours earlier was crowned the Champion of the LBAA 2010 Lake Dardanelle Kickoff Tournament. 

Taking fourth was Lad Shannon and Kevin Hartman with five bass weighing 12.58 pounds while Donnie Cobb and Von Kensey had five bass weighing in at 12.32 pounds that gave them fifth.

The father and son team of Tim and Dillon Davis earned $200 for being the highest placing team with a youth under 12 years of age.
