Hobie BOS – Coosa River Chain Anchored by Power-Pole Total Boat Control
The final open event of the 2020 season has now ended in the typical river fishing tournament fashion; 2″ leaderboard shifts in the top 9. You are hard pressed to find a more challenging tournament style of fishing than catch, photo, release and add the kayak. And now with the last of the qualified Hobie BOS Open competitors, we now only have the Shootout the day before the Tournament of Champions.
The Bassin Magazine Big Bass award goes to Eric Siddiqi who landed a tank 22.00″ bass on the day one of the tournament and was his first submitted catch. He takes home $348 in cash. Fantastic catch on the Coosa Eric!
The first angler to receive our invitation is Coley McGowan who was a favorite coming into this event. He takes 1st place with a two day total of 181.00″. In a great show of consistency he landed his day two limit with a total of 93.50″. He takes home $5,100 in cash and entry into the Tournament of Champions. Congratulations Coley! We are excited to see you in November in Tennessee.
In 2nd place, is Joshua Sharp who came all the way up from 15th place with the largest limit of the tournament measuring 98.50″. Incredibly, his average fish over day two was 19.70″! He earns his ticket to the Tournament of Champions and valuable Angler of the Year points.
The last to receive an invitation in 3rd place is Lance Coley. Only .5″ separated Coley and Sharp! Lance’s two day limit totaled 179.00″. He ended day 1 and day 2 in 4th place. That consistency landed him cash and the final invitation of the open season for the Tournament of Champions.
