We could not have asked for a better day to kick off the FAN Central 21/22 Season at Jones Brothers Park on Lake Travis. 327 student anglers and captains ascended the lake to a beautiful day with temperatures in the high 70″s with a slight breeze.

A total of 109 teams gave it their best effort for a shot at the win and also for those highly important AOY points and the chance to qualify for the 2022 Championship with over $15,000.00 in scholarships and the coveted Angler(s) of the Year title.

Georgia Rushing and Utah Anderson with Captain Jerry Gold representing 5th Day Anglers took the win with a five fish limit weighing 10.29 pounds. They both took home a trophy, Kistler Rods and valuable points. Captain Jerry won the Academy Sports+Outdoors Gift Card. – The smiles say it all. Good job team!

Taking the second spot was the Wall Hawks HS Fishing Team of Landon Beeles and Holt Teplicek with captain Grant Teplicek. If you’re only going to catch two, then these are the right two to bring to the scales. They had 9.48 including the Kistler Big Bass of the day weighing 5.57. They each took home a Kistler Series two reel, trophies and Holt won the Kistler Big bass Rod.

Finishing third was the team of Kasey Boatright and Ismael Velazquez with Captain Nick Boatright with a five fish limit tipping the scale at 9.20. They each won an Abu Garcia Revo X in addition to trophies and a chance to head to the Championship in May.
