Fishing Challenge winners announced for Lake Okeechobee

Sign-ups continue for next FLW Outdoors fantasy-fishing contest: FLW Tour event at Old Hickory Lake

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 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 grand prize, 25 participants did manage to win a variety of great prizes.

The grand-prize-winning angler combination in the latest Fishing Challenge (Atchafalaya Basin results are pending verification) – which took place Jan. 21-24 on Lake Okeechobee near Clewiston, Fla. – fell together as follows: Ray Scheide (first) of Russellville, Ark.; Chris McCall (second) of Jasper, Texas; David Dudley (third) of Manteo, N.C.; Shinichi Fukae (fourth) of Osaka, Japan; and Dave Lefebre (fifth) of Union City, Pa. Other awards, presented to the top 25 contestants, ranged from die-cast models of sponsor boats to one-year FLW Outdoors memberships.
