Hunter Schlander and Vince Bernal take UFC9
BETHEL ISLAND, Ca – This year’s Ultimate Frog Challenge event (UFC9), was one that won’t soon be forgotten for two totally different reasons.
On one hand, the event’s pre-event hype brought out over 170 teams from all over California (including one that flew out from Virginia), looking to grab a piece of “frogging glory”, as well as their slice of over $30,000 in cash that was delivered to the event’s top teams.
On the other hand, the bite was the absolute TOUGHEST we have ever seen in our 18-years of hosting “frog-only” events, as many teams either blanked or could only manage 2 small fish.
And NEW UFC9 champions!
In spite of the delta delivering an incredibly tough frog bite, the event’s Pro division saw Hunter Schlander and Vince Bernal come out on top of the pack delivering to the scale, a two-day, 6-fish limit that went 19.71 pounds. Both indicated that the extremely tough bite required them to run the entire delta to find cooperative fish, but ultimately, they found the “right fish” fish which helped them take the win.
For the victory, they received $5,500 dollars in cash!
Congratulations Hunter and Vince, you are now the newest members of the Gone Fishin’ Marine UFC Hall of Fame!
Yang brothers crush UFC9's Amateur division
In the amateur division, the Yang brothers – Chua and Zay, totally ran away with the field, rocking the scales with a 6-fish limit that went 23.08 pounds, which included the event’s overall biggest fish that went 8.68 pounds. For the biggest overall fish of the event, they received an additional bonus prize that consisted of a new Bioenno 3600 Lithium battery valued at $850!
Dr. Pepper Youth shootout
Dhillon Gaunt won out over 13 other youth participants in the Dr. Pepper Youth Shootout with a single big fish that weighed 3.68 pounds using a R2Sea Ish Phat Matt Daddy frog. For the win he received $50 cash, a new Dawia Tatula rod and reel, R2Sea frogs, premium Gamakatsu Frog tackle boxes, McDonald’s gift cards, and tons of Dr Pepper swag!
Congratulations Dhillon – Dr Pepper Youth champion!
