Event Details
An angler’s total bag will be comprised of their longest 5 Black Bass for the month. Fishing will take place over the course of four weekends, outlined in the event schedule below. Anglers may fish as much or as little during the designated dates and times as they are able.
The Challenge will be broken up geographically into five regions with eligible waters specified for each region below. The regions are: Southern California, Northern California, Arizona, Colorado River and Utah.
Not only will the top three from each region receive a cash payout (payout chart below), but the first place winner from each region will receive an automatic berth to the ultimate two-day Hobie Kayaks Working Man’s Championship Challenge Presented by HUK. The championship is a no entry fee, invitation only event and is being hosted by the Lake Havasu Resort and Casino September 30 through October 1, 2022.
