Tenkiller Qualifier Sept 28th, 2008

Another adventure in the great state of Oklahoma! University of Arkansas anglers were given a tough bluebird, calm day to compete, but it was an improvement over the last time they visited Tenkiller. This was the largest turnout in club history with 10 boats and 6 limits. The anglers battled it out and 9 ozs. ended up determining the top position. Bill Bond said, "I really love this lake and it is perfect for a club our size. I just wish that I could have caught a couple more above the slot length." Kazuki and Ryan Toomer had a good showing, bringing in a limit anchored by a solid smallmouth. They caught there fish dropshotting  in the dam area. Taylor Denniston and Mook Miller had another good showing, but just couldn't find that last kicker to put them on top. Here's how they finished:
