  Clark Leads WBT Bass Fishing Event on Old Hickory Lake HENDERSONVILLE, Tenn. - A 6-pound, 4-ounce lunker gave Dianna Clark a big push Friday in the Old Hickory Lake event of the Women's Bassmaster Tour presented by Academy Sports & Outdoors - and to her sagging season.
The Bumpus Mills, Tenn., pro's two-day total of 26 pounds, 15 ounces, put her almost 7 pounds ahead of Angie Douthit of Clewiston, Fla., who had 20 pounds.
Currently in 57th place in the season's points race, Clark also stands to gain ground in the circuit's race to become the first woman to qualify for a Bassmaster Classic. The one pro with the most points at the end of the season will be the 2008 Toyota Women's Bassmaster Tour Angler of the Year and qualify for the 2009 Bassmaster Classic, set for Feb. 20-22 on the Red River out of Shreveport/Bossier City, La. The AOY also wins a 2009 Toyota Tundra.
Kim Bain of Alabaster, Ala., was the points leader going into the Tennessee event. She ended Friday in 10th place, a big jump from her previous day's standing of 32nd. The race will culminate with the WBT Championship, set for Arkansas' Lake Hamilton on Oct. 23-25.
Closest to the leaders were Cheryl LaLumandier of St. Charles, Mo., with 19-10; first-day leader Janet Parker of Little Elm, Texas, with 19-9; and Bridget Allen of Philadelphia, Pa., who had 17-11.
Clark is a two-time WBT winner and owner of the circuit's first Toyota Women's Bassmaster Tour Angler of the Year crown. Both her wins and AOY crown came in 2006. But she lined herself up Friday for a third career win and the Tennessee event's first prize, a $50,000 Triton/Mercury boat rig and $1,000 cash.
Clark said her day Friday on the water was "amazing."
"So many of those fish that size break off, especially when they get up around the trolling motor," Clark related. "I said, 'Oh, it's a big one, please stay on. After I got it in, I just shook so hard I had to sit down."
She said she had her limit by 10:15 a.m., all from the same spot.
"I didn't have a whole lot of bites today, it was a tough day. I pretty much lucked up on that big fish today. There might not be another one tomorrow, but if there is, I'd be as grateful as I was today."
She declined to share details of how she caught the lunker until after the tournament ends Saturday.
Meanwhile, Douthit is fighting a tooth infection but persevered to second. The Florida pro, who has a best WBT finish of fourth on Missouri's Bull Shoals Lake, was throwing soft plastics in a secluded area she found during practice.
"I know I'm sick but I'm trying to make the best of it," said Douthit. "I need to go out and make every bite count."
In the co-angler division, Elizabeth Havens of Austin, Texas, had a two-day total of 16-6 to top the list of the 20 co-anglers who made the cut to compete Saturday for the first-place prize of a Skeeter/Yamaha rig valued at $25,000. Havens' 16 pounds, 6 ounces put her far in front of Stacy Zhelesnik of Hoboken, N.J, who had 13 pounds, 13 ounces, and Petra Ramsey of El Paso, Texas, who had 10 pounds, 10 ounces.
The field will launch Saturday at 5:30 a.m. at Sanders Ferry Park, 100 Sanders Ferry Road in Hendersonville. The finale weigh-in will be begin at 2:30 p.m. at Academy Sports & Outdoors, 2350 Gallatin Pike N. in Madison, Tenn.
