The final leg of the Women's Bassmaster's took place this past weekend Sept. 18-20/08. While all of the top anglers headed to ClarksLakeGeorgia there was one thing on all of their minds... Who is going to make it to the classic to have the opportunity to be the first female to be given a covenant seat at the BASS/ESPN Bassmaster Classic?

Lynda Gessner of Foristel, Mo took the first day lead at the Women's Bassmasters with throwing a spinnerbait... actually one as rumor has it throughout her first day of fishing. Well it worked! She ended up leading the pack with a scored limit of 11 lbs. 10 oz and giving her more then a two ounce lead. Lynda Gessner brought in a lunker that helped her take the lead.

The Alabama angler Kim Bain followed up with a swift day two total and brought in a total weight of 17 lbs 7 oz and took over the lead from Gessner.

Finally day three had the top twenty anglers heading back out on the water for a final day fish off. The top anglers each will add to there previous two days weights to the final day and be guaranteed a monetary prize.

Cindy Hill of SMYRNA, TN was the come back kid as she came from behind on the final day of the Women's Bassmaster Tour event on Clarks Hill to narrowly edge out Kim Bain by a mere 2 ounces with a final weight of 24.12 oz and win the Clark Hill lake tournament guaranteeing Cindy the chance to win the classic berth. (Funny I sort of had a feeling that this was going to be her lake. Maybe it was just her name but she is also a great angler and deserved to make it to the final.)

Kim Bain also placed high enough in the Angler of the Year points to continue her rush to the October final tournament. As the pressure nears each angler is anticipating the history that one of them will accomplish. Good Luck Girls!
