A haul of 19-02 on the third day helped Fryer pull ahead to first place. TBF crowned co-angler and boater national champions. Fifty-one individuals competed in each category; competitors had to qualify in one of 21 district competitions in order to compete in the national championship. As a champion, Fryer earned a TBF “Living your Dream,” package, valued in excess of $125,000 in cash and prizes.
