Fishing Challenge winners announced for Lake Toho contest
Kentuckian wins $5,000 for first place; Sign-ups ongoing for next event
Now that the final results are in, FLWOutdoors.com would like to congratulate everyone who took the time to participate in the latest FLW Outdoors Fantasy Fishing Challenge. While no contestant was able to correctly guess the top five anglers at the last FLW Tour competition and walk away with the $1 million grand prize, 25 participants did manage to win a variety of great prizes.
Topping the list of fantasy-fishing prognosticators was William Quillen of Middlesboro, Ky., whose five-angler combination earned him a check for $5,000. Quillen’s fantasy team earned 952 points at Lake Toho – a slim 38 points off perfection.
To have won the $1 million grand prize in the latest Fishing Challenge – which took place Feb. 9-12 on Lake Tohopekaliga near Kissimmee, Fla. – a participant would have had to have selected the following five pros, in sequential order, so as to mirror the actual tournament outcome:
1st: Tom Mann Jr. of Buford, Ga.
2nd: Art Berry of Hemet, Calif.
3rd: Bobby Lane of Lakeland, Fla.
4th: J.T. Kenney of Frostburg, Md.
5th: Toby Hartsell of Livingston, Texas
Other awards, presented to the top 25 contestants, ranged from a die-cast model of an official FLW Outdoors sponsor boat to FLW Outdoors-branded tackle and other fishing gear.
Note to winners: Please allow six to eight weeks for delivery of prizes.
