With only four scheduled qualifying tournaments remaining before another Classic is upon us, I thought it might be interesting to look at the kind of statistics it has taken for people to walk away with money in their pockets at the end of this annual two-day event. Here are the names and numbers of winners from the past five years:
And of equal interest this year is a tightly contested race to see who gets to claim bragging rights as 2017 Angler of the Year. I should point out this competition ends with the last qualifying tournament of the year, which will be Oct. 7. Here's how this race stacks up at the moment:
(From left) Al Napier/111.84 lbs., Bob Glass & Randy Conkle/109.78 lbs., Bobby Moore/108.51 lbs., Duane Kessel/106.14 lbs., Rob Peppers/100.86 lbs.
Just wish ol' Dewey was here to see all this. It was his love of friendly competition that paved the way for us to enjoy the camaraderie that we have today.
