CKA 2019 Tournament of Champions: Results
The top 25 anglers in the Angler of the Year race faced off on Jordan Lake today, bringing our tournament season to an end with a high stakes event in which the winner would walk away with $1,000. Fishing was tough, with the majority of the limits averaging under 15” per bass, but in the end Keith McGee emerged as champion, earning 1st place with an 84” total. The win adds another notch to Keith’s belt, which already includes the 2018 Rookie of the Year prize and a single tournament win this season at Kerr-Scott lake.
Rounding out the top 3 were William Queen in 2nd place with 79.50” and Jacob Miles in third with 74.25”. William and Jacob won the Zee Bait Co. Gift certificates for their finishes. Additionally, Ryan Freeman, who was 11th place and first out of the money, also won a Zee Bait Co. certificate.
CKA wants to thank everyone who competed in today’s event. We love the low-tech, high stakes format we have developed for this tournament. Next year will be the 5th season of the Tournament of Champions, and we have a great surprise in store for this late season tradition…..
