Chapman Stuns Himself With 19-07 First-Day Sack |
|
In the wake of an extremly difficult practice period, it was no big surprise that none of the bags caught on the first day of the Dardanelle Bassmaster Elite Series topped 20 pounds. Brent Chapman, however, absolutely shocked himself by making a strong run at that mark.
"I thought I'd be real fortunate to catch five, and if they weighed 10 pounds I'd be excited," said the Kansan, who sat atop the day-1 leaderboard with 19-07. "If you'd have told me I could've had that weight after 2 days I probably would've signed on the dotted line this morning." Read More

Kansas' Brent Chapman makes most of short day, takes lead on Lake Dardanelle |
|
RUSSELLVILLE, Ark. — With Lake Dardanelle tightening up and anglers facing weather challenges on the opening day of the Toyota Trucks Diamond Drive, Brent Chapman of Lake Quivira, Kan., was able to take advantage by focusing on a few spots and turning a less-than-stellar practice into the Day One lead with 19 pounds, 7 ounces, Thursday at the second event of the 2009 Bassmaster Elite Series season.
Chapman opened up a more than 2-pound advantage over Mark Menendez's 17 pounds, 12 ounces. Menendez, of Paducah, Ky., was one of four anglers in the field using an aluminum boat. The 2008 Bassmaster Classic champion, Alton Jones of Waco, Texas, carried a solid performance at the season opener on Texas' Lake Amistad into the second event, coming in third with 17-5. Rounding out the top five were Matt Herren of Trussville, Ala., with 17-1, and Fred Roumbanis of Bixby, Okla., with 16-12. Read More |

Welcome to Russellville, Arkansas |
|
Every time we are here we encounter severe weather. Being in tornado warnings and straight line winds in a camper is awesome!! We are getting our bad weather for the next few days. I hope nothing too severe.
Well, last week we were in the suburbs of Fort Worth. We can back our camper in Brian’s drive and live like the Griswalds. His neighbors must think we are crazy, but we love it. We set up in his drive and get to spend plenty of time with the family with the comfort of our own beds. This year was special because Brent’s Uncle Dennis and Aunt Carol were visiting at the same time. They brought their daughter, Rebecca, down for spring break. Mason and Makayla love spending time with Rebecca, Sara and Benjamin. We had a great time and got a lot of work done. |

Field Trip to South Padre and the Del Rio, Texas. |
|
We’ve now been in south Texas for 2 weeks. The first week was 100 degrees and we were loving the heat. The second week was cold and rainy. We have been moving along the Texas/Mexico border. There has been tons of media coverage regarding all the drug violence along the border. We have been lucky and not seen this. We see plenty of border control vehicles and welcome all the extra protection.
Anyway, last week Brent’s parents came to visit. Ron did some fishing on Falcon Lake and Pat and I took the kids to South Padre for two days. We had a really good time. Mason and Makayla love to be with Pat (mimi) and she is always a blast. She loves to explore and seems to find something fun at every town we visit. We just missed the spring break partiers. The kids love the ocean and we are can’t wait for our family vacation in Destin this April. |
