Arey Earns Diaper Dollars
Going into the 2017 Forrest Wood Cup championship on Lake Murray, Quaker State pro Matt Arey had the same goal as the other 52 competitors fishing “The Cup” – to win. Like most other accomplished anglers, Arey goes into every tournament he fishes with that same mindset.
While Arey ultimately fell short of the mark this year, he did end up with his favorite 14th place finish ever. That’s because it earned him $1,000 for being the highest-finishing LEER Cover Cash participant in the championship.
Arey has been a longtime member of the LEER Cover Cash program and has won Cover Cash at various T-H Marine BFL events, Costa FLW Series tournaments and, most recently, at the 2017 Forrest Wood Cup.
With hunting season just around the corner, and Arey being an avid bowhunter, one might assume his bonus money from the Cup would help fund his hunting efforts. Arey’s love and passion for his family trumps his hunting hobbies, however, as he reiterated when asked what he thought he might buy with his $1,000 of “Cover Cash.”
“Anytime I get a bonus it goes directly to my girls,” Arey says. “I’ve got two little girls. One is 5 years old and my second angel is only about 3 months old now. So I plan on that money going right into diapers, most likely.”
As noted, Arey has cashed several bonus checks over the last three years through the LEER Cover Cash program as well as because of a number of Toyota Bonus Bucks rewards. The North Carolina pro is quick to note that beside a pair of lucrative FLW Tour wins on Beaver Lake, he has earned his Cover Cash and Bonus Bucks checks even when he didn’t finish at the top of the leaderboard.
Anglers don’t need to win a tournament to be eligible to win the LEER Cover Cash or Toyota Bonus Buck awards. As Arey discovered when he placed 14th in the 2017 Forrest Wood Cup, they simply have to be the highest-placing eligible participant in a sanctioned event.
