Glasgow Wins WBT Bass Fishing Tournament on Lake Dardanelle
RUSSELLVILLE, Ark. - Pro angler Sheri Glasgow of Muskogee, Okla., scored her first Mercury Marine Women's Bassmaster Tour presented by Triton Boats win Saturday on Arkansas' Lake Dardanelle in style: wire-to-wire, with more than 46 pounds, and almost two pounds in front of second-place finisher Lynda Gessner of Foristell, Mo.
Glasgow won with consistency as she posted a third consecutive five-fish limit on the final day and finished with a total of 46 pounds, 1 ounce. She collected the top prize of a Triton/Mercury boat rig valued at $50,000.
In third was Tami Kashiwabara of Japan with 42-7, who had a five-fish limit on the final day to push her up from sixth on Friday. Finishing fourth with 41-12 was the winner of the season-opening WBT event on Texas' Lake Amistad, Juanita Robinson of Highlands, Texas.
Pam Martin-Wells of Bainbridge, Ga., fell from second on Friday to finish fifth with 41 pounds, 9 ounces. Glasgow and Martin-Wells were head-to-head for the first two days of competition, but the Bainbridge, Ga., pro came up one short of a five-fish limit on the final day.
"I'm going to lose the nickname 'deuce' now," said Glasgow, who has been the runner-up or within arm's reach of a win five times on the WBT circuit, including being second to Martin-Wells in the 2006 WBT Championship in February on Alabama's Lake Mitchel l. "It was OK to be second, but of course you always want to win, and maybe now I won't be called 'bridesmaid' anymore."
A 40-year-old rep and designer for a custom cabinet shop when she isn't competing in WBT events, Glasgow said she used 20-pound Berkley Big Game line to work her shallow pattern around stumps for spawning bass. Her go-to baits were a watermelon Zoom Fluke and a Texas-rigged green-pumpkin Zoom Baby Brush Hog.
At 15-12, Gessner's final-day limit outweighed the Saturday catch of any other pro. She also brought in the day's big bass, a 5-10 she hooked on a 6-inch Yum Dinger in watermelon red-flake color. She said she worked lily-pad stems that were in less than two feet of water.
A technical publications specialist for an aircraft manufacturer, Gessner said her second-place finish on Dardanelle is the best of her fishing career.
"I started fishing because I like being able to challenge myself," she said. "It's like putting a puzzle together."
The outcome of the Dardanelle event changed up the Toyota Tundra WBT Angler of the Year points race. Glasgow improved her position from third to first. Robinson dropped from first to second, and Martin-Wells from second to third. Full standings are below.
The winner at the end of the five-event season takes home a prize package of a fully rigged Toyota Tundra truck.
The winner of the co-angler division and the first prize of $1,000 cash and a Triton/Mercury boat rig valued at $24,000 was Laura Elkins of Amarillo, Texas, who shot up to first from 11th place on the final day, thanks to her five-fish limit of 12 pounds. Her three-day total was 24 pounds, 4 ounces.
An industrial illustrator, Elkins, 50, finished fourth at the WBT event on Lake Dardanelle last August in the inaugural season of the WBT. Debbie Pegoli of Loveland, Ohio, was second in the co-angler division with 23-12. She was the co-angler winner on Texas' Lake Lewisville at the second event of the 2006 WBT season.
The third-place co-angler was Day 2 leader Bertha Cavakis of Amity, Ark., with 23-8. Fourth was Kala Wright of Pocola, Okla., with 20-2, and fifth was Vicki Henderson of Ashtown, Ark., with 20-0.
