Fishing Challenge winners announced for Ouachita River contest
Tennessee man wins $5,000 for first place
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 Scott Neubill of Knoxville, Tenn., whose five-angler combination earned him a check for $5,000. Neubill’s fantasy team earned 899 points in the Ouachita River contest.
To win the $1 million grand prize in the last Fishing Challenge – which took place March 9-12 on the Ouachita River near Monroe, La. – a participant would have had to have selected the following five pros, in sequential order, so as to mirror the actual tournament outcome:
1st: Toshinari Namiki of Tokyo
2nd: Matt Herren of Trussville, Ala.
3rd: Jason Kilpatrick of Satsuma, Ala.
4th: Mickey Bruce of Buford, Ga.
5th: Mike Hawkes of Sabinal, 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.
