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 |

How to Improve Your Early Season Bass Fishing |

Bassmaster Elite series pro, Brent Chapman sheds some insight to another trick that’s bound to help anglers catch a few more fish. “One of the pieces of equipment lots of anglers overlook is a good pair of polarized sunglasses,” emphasized Chapman. The Kansas pro habitually wears Costa Del Mar glasses, since he feels they are the best and give him an edge whether in competition or just fishing for fun. |

Brent Finishes 7th on Old Hickory |
|
The Lake Quivira, Kan., resident said he went through about 10 bags of plum-colored Zoom Old Monster worms, which he Texas-rigged. His other primary lure was a T&C Custom crankbait, which a friend of his makes by hand out of balsa wood. It's a square-billed crankbait that "puts off a really good vibration and it's real buoyant, so it bounces off the wood real good and gets a reaction strike out of these fish." The crankbait runs about 2 or 3 feet deep. The color pattern on the crankbait was chartruese-and-black.
