Husband and wife team take FPT AOY title on Tulloch!
Posted: Wed Feb 10, 2021 11:18 pm
Created by the fact that for the first time in the tour’s 18-year history both anglers finished "dead-even" in the Angler of the Year and Navionics Cup races, the FPT’s Tournament Competition Committee decreed that both teams would meet at a neutral body of water and fish for ONLY 6-hours to determine a winner.
- Hung and Mui....2020 FPT Anglers of the Year!
Mike Beevers, and Russ Pierson (defending FPT AOY/Navionics Cup champions), had located some fish chasing bait during their pre-fish period, and were hoping for a “big bite” on game day, but their bait fish disappeared, resulting in a 2-fish catch that weighed just shy of 5 pounds.
Hung Ho and Mui Luong, one of the tour’s many husband-and-wife teams, had a better story however, and finding sloping, rocky points - within eyesight of the marina, caught a five-fish limit weighing 12.72 pounds, firmly securing their place in the FPT’s Hall of Fame as it’s 18th pair of Angler of the Year and Navionics Cup champions.
- Russ Pierson and Mike Beevers, always good sportsmen to the end, congratulate the new AOY/Navionics champs!
