Larry Vaughan Take the Win on Lake Ouachita
ABA American Fishing Tour D47 held its fourth 2019 season tournament on 22 Dec 2018 on Lake Ouachita launching from the Mt. Harbor ramp. 21 anglers came out and were greeted with great weather and a full lake…uncommon for this time of year. Recent reports indicated the fish were biting and as usual, Lake Ouachita didn’t disappoint. Nine 5-fish limits crossed the scales including three over 4-lbs and a 2.32-lb average/fish.
Larry Vaughan topped the field with five-fish for a total weight of 18.33-lbs. Larry threw a jig and umbrella rig to catch his fish.
Brian Bean sacked up five-fish for a total weight of 17.50-lbs on a jig and umbrella rig to finish in second place.
Rounding out the top three was Eddy Robertson who also sacked up five-fish for a total weight of 13.33-lbs throwing jig and umbrella rig.
Larry Vaughan caught the big bass of the day at 5.75-lbs.
