What an amazing day. Season 4 regular season is over, and I must say, #qc1000 was a hit!
We wrapped up today on Mountain Island Lake. Weather was looking bad, rainy and windy, and many anglers didn’t have much to fight for, but we still had 53 guys come out! Wow. With only two ramps open, most anglers stayed at the sign in ramp. Launch at 7am and we are off! Tough day for some, myself included. MIL is known for numbers, not size, but we had a few nice fish caught today. Tim Sabella found his way back to the podium and ended 2018 with a $1000 win! He stuck 69 inches today. Congrats buddy! Young gunna Zach Clark ends his regular season on a high and takes home 2nd place worth $465! He had 65.75 inches. Chris Goodwin has been busting his tail this year. Learning, improving, winning off season events and today it all paid off. He snuck in 3rd place with 65.5 inches and won $310, but more importantly he earned a “fish off” spot against Eric Carroll for a chance at getting in the TOC. Tammy-Josh Neal was talking smack all month about him winning, well he was close! 4th place with 64.25 worth $160! PC Hawj rounds out the top 5 with 63.5 and takes home $120. Kevin Wilkinson followed up his 2017 Trail Win with a solid 6th place and brings home $100. Matt Hawj turned another free entry into cash, $60 for 7th place with 60.75. Rounding out the cash spots in 8th, with his first cash in a trail event, Josh Rose. He wins $50 with 59 inches. Great job winners.
Aaron Miller and his son Cam Miller fished together today. Well….Cam took home the Emerald School of Excellence big bass pot worth $260 with a 19.75 inch. Jason Lowe was lucky enough to hook and land a 4.75 inch bass today to take home $340 in the Yak Bass’n small bass pot! Haha. Wow. Andy Myers takes home the Scivation Recovery smallest limit award. Melvin Yang was the “beat Joey Randall” winner and he goes home with a sweet Berleypro Van Bro! Zach and Kevin won the Pro Image Sports team event today and Eric Carroll and Josh Neal took 2nd!
With it being the final regular season event, we and some more awards to give away.
